Linguistic variation and cultural differentiation in North America
Journée d'étude ANR 'SOURVA'
Published on Tuesday, December 06, 2016
Abstract
The workshop "Linguistic variation and cultural differentiation" aims to promote discussions between linguists and anthropologists concerning the comparison between models of cultural and linguistic variation in North America. This workshop is organized by the LIAS- IMM as part of a research project SOURVA "Sources of cultural variation" founded by the ANR (Agence Nationale de la Recherche). SOURVA is devoted to further our understanding of three models of cultural differentiation - the diffusionist model, the transformational model and the transactional model – and to gain a better insight into how they complement each other, and how they apply to the diversity of North American native languages and cultures.
