In relation to linguistic change, the contributions of grammaticalization theories (Hopper & Traugott 1993; Traugott & Dasher 2002; Lehmann 2020) and the novelties of the Diachronic Construction Grammar (Traugott & Trousdale 2013; Hilpert 2014; Barðdal et al. 2015; Hilpert et al. 2021) will be the main theoretical framework, although other theoretical approaches will also be welcome, such as the Complexity theory (Massip-Bonet, Bel-Enguix & Bastardas 2019), among others. In any case, we want to focus on linguistic data to encourage dialogue between specialists, regardless of the theoretical approach.

 The topics proposed for this congress are very broad, but we suggest the following:

• Language contact and dialect variation in the diachronic morphosyntax of Ibero- and Gallo-Romance languages

• Phenomena that have received little attention in the specialized literature, but that are relevant and that represent marginalia

• Linguistic change and grammaticalization

• Linguistic change, semantics and pragmatics

• Grammaticalization and linguistic contact

• Grammaticalization, lexicalization and idiomaticity

• Grammaticalization and Cognitive Construction Grammar

• Discursive traditions and language (and dialect) contact

• From Latin to Romance varieties

• Time, aspect, modality and evidentiality

• Information structure and linguistic change

• Quantitative methods, linguistic change, and language contact

• Methodological problems in the study of diachrony

• Corpus linguistics in diachrony

• Computational linguistics and linguistic change

• From diachrony to current dialect variation

• Development and constitution of standard languages

• Ibero- and Gallo-Romance languages in contact with other languages

Conference dinner

We are pleased to announce that on Thursday night (23 May, 8:30 pm) a conference dinner will be held in the restaurant Gat Blau, member of the Slow Food KM0 international network. This restaurant works with seasonal products and therefore the menu in May will be adapted to the spring season, but they shared with us a sample menu so that you can see it and have an idea of its composition (the price is 40€ and it includes: choice of 1 out of 5 starters, 1 out of 5 mains, and 1 out of 4 desserts, plus water, wine, and home-made bread). You can also check in this map that the restaurant is within walking distance from the University.

Finally, please be aware that when it comes to group dinners this restaurant asks for a prepayment of 18€ per person, so that if you are interested please make a bank transfer (indicating as the purpose of the transfer “YOUR NAME+DINNER”) to the bank account ES6115830001199091926979 (BIC/SWIFT code REVOESM2) before 6 May (note that the account is different from the registration one). The rest of the amount (22€) will be payed by you in the restaurant.

Thank you so much!
