We would like to invite linguists interested in language change to contribute to a discussion which aims at refining the notion of ‘grammaticalization’ and, ultimately, at overcoming the current terminological fuzziness.

There will be 40-minute slots, including discussion time.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 18 September 2011.

Notification of acceptance: early October 2011
