welcomes contributions investigating any of the world’s languages.

The theme for Methods XVII is (Dia)Lects in the 21st Century.

CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSION PROPOSALS (due September 1, 2019) (different from
abstract deadline)

We invite special session proposals for Methods XVII, which will be held
throughout the conference. 

Special sessions may either be concerned with particular methodological
instruments, technological innovations or special themes, or they may have a
particular focus on a language group or a specific topic. 
Each proposal should include an overview of the topic and its importance, in
no more than 500 words. The proposal should also state the relevance of the
special session to Methods XVII. 
If you would like to organise a special session, please submit your proposal
with a complete list of speakers and all abstracts (4-8 slots available per
special session, 2-4 hours in total) by September 1, 2019. Potential
organisers of special sessions are responsible for calls and peer-review prior
to submission of the proposal to Methods XVII.

Submit your special session proposal here:
https://www.umfrageonline.com/s/methodsviispecialsessionsubmission

Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by the end of October 2019. 

Accommodation note: Mainz is very busy in summer, but plenty of hotels in
different categories should offer something for everyone. The conference
venue, Erbacher Hof, offers a limited number of rooms, which we have all
pre-booked (ca. 75 rooms). We will accept bookings for these rooms as part of
the registration process on a first-come-first-served basis. We are currently
negotiating special rates with other hotels in Mainz, but feel free to make
your own arrangements ahead of time, since many websites and booking portals
offer excellent early-bird rates including free cancellation up till the day
of arrival. Few hotels allow bookings more than one year in advance, though.

Please also visit our website at http://methodsxvii.uni-mainz.de/, which will
be updated with information about accommodation and travel in due course.
Also, feel free to contact the organizing committee at
methodsxvii at uni-mainz.de.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Mainz!

The local organising committee
