THEROMANCEBALKANS:INTRODUCTION
THE ROMANCE BALKANS: INTRODUCTION
The Romance Balkans resulted from a conference held from 4 to 6
November 2006 in Belgrade by members of the Commission on Balkan
Linguistics of the International Committee of Slavists and attended by
Balkanologists and Romanists dealing in various aspects of the Romance
languages. The meeting brought together linguists from separate Balkan-
-related areas and scholars in other fields of the humanities in an effort to
helpthelinguistsmovetowardsaninterdisciplinaryapproachasasinequa
noninBalkanStudies.Notwithstandingthe“Romance”titleofthiscollec-
tion, and although English, French and German are the meta-languages,
the link with Slavistics remains the common thread running through al-
most all contributions, including this Introduction.
The Balkan Romance languages, from the current synchronic aspect,
include (Daco-) Romanian as spoken in Romania and Moldova and the
Aromanian and Megleno-Romanian of the Central Balkans. The papers
collected here expand this to the maximum by adding, along with Daco-
-Romanian dialects, Ladino and contemporary contacts between Balkan
and non-Balkan Romance languages.
From the diachronic aspect, this volume does not pretend to give a
systematic overview of Balkan Romance. However, Balcania Romana,
Orthodoxa, Islamica and Judaica are all represented.
It also takes account of a revision of the theory on the Roman origin
ofBalkanisms(Lindstedt2000)asa“mutualreinforcementofchange”.The
convergence model is corroborated by the fact that the Balkan Sprachbund
properties are most numerous in those parts of the Balkans where the
greatestnumberoflanguagesareco-territorial.TheepicentreofBalkanisms
seems to be in the area around the southern parts of the lakes of Ohrid and
Prespa, where Greek, Albanian, Macedonian and Aromanian intersect. The
