Meeting Description:

2nd Kashmir International Conference on Linguistics will be held on 04-05 May 2015, at City Campus Muzaffarabad. The conference is mandated to promote lesser known languages spoken in the region as well as major languages. What is currently known as the Muzaffarabad Division, occupies a strategic position linguistically as it is located in the centre of Gilgit-Baltistan, the Hazara region and the Kashmir valley which are home to languages spawning from diverse families, becoming the richest areas of the world in terms of linguistic diversity. It is also striking to notice how languages have undergone changes as a result of their long contact with other languages and how their relative positions are changing. The linguistic behaviour also provides a window on social behaviour of the speakers. It is in this context, the major theme of the conference has been chosen as Language Variation.

This two-day interdisciplinary conference aims to provide a forum to researchers and practitioners in the areas of theoretical and applied linguistics to present and share their research findings in a stimulating and interactive environment. In addition, the conference purports to offer collaborative and networking opportunities to scholars and practitioners and advance new perspectives as well as reflect on current research practices in the field. We are positive that the conference will yield results that lead to breaking new grounds and produce enduring effects. The outcomes of the conference will result in more profound understanding of these complex linguistic and interactional behaviours. 

Our highly motivated team of hosts is anxiously looking forward to welcoming you to Muzaffarabad in May 2015.
