Historical/Language Contact Group

Contact: Claire Bowern

Meetings: Fridays, 1:30pm-3:00pm ET (joint meetings with the Fieldwork/Documentation Working Group)

Description: We read papers and work on projects of interest to group members. Our aim is to explore the literature on language contact and change regardless of geographical or subfield focus; our interests are broad and have covered everything from second dialect acquisition to Proto-Basque/Indo-European relationships.
