Meeting Description: 

The Sixth International Conference on Late Modern English: Internal and
External Factors in Linguistic Stability and Language Change 

Uppsala University will host the Sixth International Conference on Late Modern
English (LMEC 6) on August 17-19, 2017. The previous host venues of LMEC have
been Edinburgh (2001), Vigo (2004), Leiden (2007), Sheffield (2010), and
Bergamo (2013).

The theme of LMEC 6 is ''Internal and External Factors in Linguistic Stability
and Language Change''. The Call for Papers will be out in late spring 2016. We
welcome proposals for papers that explore Late Modern English and include a
discussion of underlying factors that can be hypothesized as contributing to
the stability or change observed in the data. Such factors may be
language-internal or language-external. Papers can be either full papers (20
minutes, plus time for discussion) or work-in-progress papers (10 minutes,
plus time for discussion). Proposals for workshops and software demonstrations
are also welcome. Proposals will be reviewed by a committee. Information on
travel, accommodation, and the conference website will be provided with the
Call for Papers. 

We look forward to seeing you in Uppsala!
