<span lang="EN-US">It is perhaps inaccurate to refer to ‘French’ in the singular, as if to imply that the French language is a homogeneous monolithic object. Indeed, modern contemporary French varies and changes over geographical and social space and, while
it may seem odd to refer to ‘Frenches’ in the plural, we must acknowledge at the very least that ‘French’ is made up of a plethora of accents, dialects, and varieties. This conference will consider geographical, social, and stylistic variation in French, as
well as the implications of such research for pedagogy, language acquisition, and our understanding of the Francophone world in general. </span>The organising committee welcomes abstract submissions on these and any other areas of French linguistics and French
language teaching in Higher Education.</p>

et social et, même s’il nous semblerait étrange de parler <i>des</i> « français » au pluriel, il faut au moins reconnaître que le « français » se compose d’une multitude d’accents, de dialectes et de variétés. Ce colloque examinera la variation diatopique,
diastratique, et diaphasique en français, et les implications de ces recherches pour la pédagogie, l'acquisition du langage, ainsi que pour notre compréhension du monde francophone en général.</span><span lang="FR"> Le comité scientifique accueille favorablement
