Meeting Description:

This online event will gather scholars with an expertise on DOM in Romance languages, such as Catalan, Occitan, Italian dialects or Spanish, as well as on Basque, another language which, like Catalan, is in contact with Spanish and shows some instances of DOM. Researchers interested in the phenomenon of DOM and the role of language contact in Romance are very welcome to attend the event. We hope it will be a platform to share knowledge and a starting point to establish collaborations.
