10th Annual Symposium on Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian Literatures, Linguistics, and Cultures
Organizers see linguistic phenomena as equivalently impacted by such recent cultural transformations. New configurations of physical and symbolic borders are also translated into new configurations of communication systems. Using this framework as a point of departure, they intend to explore and discuss, from a variety of subdisciplines, formal analysis of linguistic systems, linguistic change and variation, the effects of contact between languages and dialects, as well as the formation of pidgins and creoles. It is the purpose of this encounter to debate these issues from the perspectives of each participant's research agenda.
