May 22, 2024 - May 23, 2024
We are pleased to announce the Leiden Workshop on Creole Languages (WoCL), which will be held at Leiden University on May 22, 2024.
This workshop aims to bring together researchers who share an interest in the study of creole languages. We invite abstracts that investigate empirical data from any field (syntax, semantics, phonology, morphology, sociolinguistics). Priority will be given to papers which adopt a comparative approach. This includes comparisons among creole languages, as well as comparisons of creoles with other languages, related or unrelated.
Each talk lasts 20 minutes and is followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
Keynote speaker: Marlyse Baptista, University of Pennsylvania
Further information can be found on our website (forthcoming).
