<font face="Calibri"><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.</font></p>
