Tagungsbericht:

Sprachwissenschaft aus dem hohen Norden:
Die International Conference of Nordic and General Linguistics in Freiburg

Vom 18.-20. April fand an der Universität Freiburg die International Conference of Nordic and General Linguistics statt, die als Kooperation vom deutschen und skandinavischen Seminar gemeinsam mit dem FRIAS ausgerichtet wurde. Peter Auer, Jan-Ola Östman und Martin Hilpert, die für das FRIAS an der Organisation der Tagung beteiligt waren, konnten zufrieden sein: Etwa 120 Sprachwissenschaftler aus der ganzen Welt kamen nach Freiburg, um ihre Forschungsergebnisse zu den Sprachen Skandinaviens zu präsentieren. Zu diesen Sprachen gehören nicht nur Dänisch, Schwedisch, Norwegisch und Isländisch, sondern auch grönländische und  finnugrische Sprachen sowie die Sprache der Färöer Inseln und bedrohte Sprachen, wie das Samische.

Mit dem Motto der Tagung - Sprachkontakt - wurde ein Thema gewählt, das zentral für die Freiburger Sprachwissenschaft und die Forschung mehrerer FRIAS-fellows ist: Was passiert, wenn Sprecher unterschiedlicher Dialekte miteinander in Kontakt treten? Wie kommunizieren Sprecher über Sprachgrenzen hinweg? Wie verändert sich Sprache auf lange Sicht in Kontaktszenarien? Für die skandinavische Sprachlandschaft ist Sprachkontakt besonders charakteristisch, da hier Phänomene wie Mehrsprachigkeit und Kommunikation über Sprach- und Dialektgrenzen hinweg für viele Sprecher zum Alltag gehören. Besondere Highlights der Tagung waren die Vorträge international ausgewiesener Experten zu diesem Thema, etwa Sarah Thomason (Michigan, USA) oder Frans Gregersen (Kopenhagen, Dänemark).

Mit der Tagung wurde übrigens eine lange Tradition dieser Konferenzreihe nach mehrjähriger Pause wiederbelebt. Diese Tradition wird nun fortgeführt: Frias-fellow Jan-Ola Östman übernimmt die Organisation der nächsten ICNGL an der Universität Helsinki in Finnland.

 

The 11th International Conference of Nordic and General Linguistics, organized under the auspices of the Nordic Association of Linguists, will take place at Freiburg University April 18th-20th, 2012. The ICNGL conference series provides an open forum for linguistic research in order to facilitate the exchange of ideas on Nordic (including Germanic, Finnic, Saamic and Greenlandic) and other languages, between researchers from the Nordic countries and elsewhere. Its main goals are to create and strengthen connections between researchers working on different languages, with different methodological and theoretical approaches. The Freiburg conference will have a special focus on language contact.

ICNGL 11 will be the second conference of this series taking place outside the Nordic countries (after ICNGL 3, which took place at the University of Texas, Austin, 1978.) The following speakers have accepted our invitation to deliver plenary lectures:

Lars-Olof Delsing (Lund)
Frans Gregersen (Copenhagen)
Auli Hakulinen (Helsinki)
Martin Hilpert (Freiburg)
Anneli Sarhimaa (Mainz)
Sarah Thomason (Ann Arbor, Michigan)
