The symposium takes place from June 20 to June 22, 2018 and offers a forum to
present and discuss original research investigating language-variation
phenomena, theories and models, as well as new and innovative research
methods.

The following keynote speakers have been invited and confirmed:

Prof. Dr. Stephan Elspaß (University of Salzburg)
Prof. Dr. Juan Manuel Hernández-Campoy (University of Murcia)

Call for Papers:

The call for papers is now officially open: We invite abstracts for a
20-minute talk, followed by a 10-minute discussion. PhD students and
early-career researchers are especially encouraged to submit. All submissions
will be reviewed anonymously.

Variation is a key concept in sociolinguistics. Not only can members of a
speech community use language differently from one another, but a single
speaker’s speech may also show significant variation. Every language in the
world is therefore not a uniform entity but exhibits multifaceted patterns of
internal variation.

The aim of this year’s LIPP symposium is to provide a forum to discuss these
patterns across a wide range of languages. We invite original research on
language-variation phenomena on various linguistic levels (phonology,
morphosyntax, vocabulary, etc.) and in relation to regional, social,
stylistic, or medial factors, or a combination of these dimensions. We also
welcome papers exploring the perception of and attitudes towards variation as
well as the construction of identity through linguistic variants.
Contributions from all fields and methodologies are welcome, including
synchronic and diachronic approaches to variation as well as quantitative and
qualitative research.

Another goal of our symposium is to investigate the implications of research
findings for existing theoretical models and concepts as well as for the
development of new frameworks that enable us to describe and categorize
language variation. The final objective of this year’s symposium is to point
out methodological perspectives, in particular the potential of new computer
technologies and electronic resources as promising tools for sociolinguistic
research.
