Meeting Description:

The first Language Variation and Change in the South of England meeting will
take place on the 12 April 2017, and will be hosted by the University of
Suffolk. We are pleased to announce that Prof David Britain (University of
Berne) has agreed to give a plenary talk at the meeting.
 
Our understanding of the nature of sociolinguistic variability in the South of
England is still lagging considerably behind that of other varieties of
English. Therefore, this meeting aims to bring together scholars in the field
of language variation and change who take a quantitative approach to
sociolinguistics in order to examine the linguistic and social factors which
influence variation, be they phonetic, morphosyntactic, discourse-pragmatic
and/or lexical features.


2nd Call for Papers:

Abstract deadline extended to 15 January 2017.  Please submit to
southernlvc at gmail.com
 
If you are currently conducting research, or have research interests in this
geographical area, we would like to invite you to submit an abstract for a
20min presentation relating to language variation and change in the South of
England. The meeting has been designed to have a workshop nature, hence both
informal presentations/discussions about ongoing research bearing on the issue
of English in the South of England, and conference-style research
presentations are appropriate. 
 
If you are interested in attending the meeting but do not wish to submit an
abstract, please keep an eye on our webpage which will be regularly updated
with registration details and other information

We look forward to welcoming you to Ipswich in April!
 
Kindest regards
 
Jenny Amos (University of Suffolk) and Sandra Jansen (University of Brighton)
