This CFP seeks papers for a panel at the 2013 Northeast Modern Language Association (NEMLA), Boston, March 21-24, 2013. The panel will examine a range of theoretical, methodological and empirical questions related to how language contact phenomena including but not limited to research on bilingualism, language shift, code-switching, borrowing and variation, are represented in literary works involving Spanish or Portuguese in contact with Amerindian languages in Latin America. By analyzing such contact phenomena as they appear in literary texts, the session promises to bring together linguists interested on the manifold of factors constraining realism in the literary representation of contact languages in the written text, on one hand, and literary scholars using linguistic tools to advance aesthetic interpretations of the same written text, on the other. Please send 300-400 words abstracts and brief CV to Gerardo Augusto Lorenzino, galorenz@temple.edu.
