Meeting Description:

The 29th North American Conference on Chinese Linguistics (NACCL-29) will be
held at Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, June 16-18, 2017.

The theme of the conference: Perspectives on the History, Geography, and
Sociolinguistics of Chinese and Chinese Dialects

The many varieties of Chinese have always existed in a state of dynamic
variation and change. Their various grammatical features and states, including
phonology, lexicon, morphology, and syntax, have followed the natural tendency
of languages to change. The changes have been influenced and shaped by
historical events, population movements, geographical proximity and distance,
and any number of social and cultural forces. The dialect of an individual
speaker results from the interplay of these various influences and forces and
often continues to respond to them as well as broadcast its own influence
within a speech community and across time into the future. As such, a
linguistic description is merely a snapshot of one linguistic type in a given
time and place, whether it be experimentally derived, obtained instrumentally,
or recorded through traditional means. Through the examination and comparison
of linguistic data, linguistic descriptions, and the individual linguistic
snapshots they represent, from both synchronic and diachronic perspectives, we
can discover a great deal about the background to language variety, the
motivations for language change, as well as reason for current linguistic
states and the shape of dialects in points both past and present.
