Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Course description: At the LANCHART Centre we have for many years now been
concerned with the integration of various strands of sociolinguistics with a
view towards fruitful collaboration and integration of results. This is an
endeavour from which Ph. D. students as well as more senor researchers would
benefit from seeing through. Thus we are all the more happy that we have been
able to persuade a number of the discipline's top researchers to focus in their
presentations on the different research questions and neighbouring disciplines
which they have worked with, in order to give a selected group of students from
the global sociolinguistic community a chance to see their own project in a
broader perspective.

Invitation:

The LANCHART Centre at University of Copenhagen is happy to invite PhD students
from the international sociolinguistic community to send applications by March
20th for participation in:
