This track explores the mechanisms and processes that drive language change over time. It aims to examine both internal and external factors influencing linguistic evolution.

This session focuses on theoretical frameworks and models that explain how languages transform. Participants are encouraged to present innovative approaches to understanding linguistic shifts.

This track investigates the nature of sound change and its effects on language structure and comprehension. Contributions will analyze case studies and theoretical implications of phonetic shifts.

This session examines the processes and impacts of loanwords in various languages. Papers will discuss the sociolinguistic factors that facilitate borrowing and the resulting linguistic changes.

This track delves into the comparative method and its applications in linguistic reconstruction. Scholars will present research on the relationships between languages and their historical contexts.

This session focuses on the evolution of syntax in different linguistic traditions. Participants will explore case studies that illustrate patterns of syntactic change and their implications.
