Meeting Description:

Under the concept of linguistic diversity, various forms of linguistic
variation are explored. These include socio-cultural, ethnic, cognitive or
media-specific variation as well as individual and societal multilingualism in
the past and present. In order to study linguistic diversity, pre-existing
(primarily) written sources are consulted or new data is collected using
different methods (e.g. oral or written questionnaires, interviews,
experimental tasks etc.). However, the availability of appropriate data
continues to be one of the greatest challenges to empirical research.

Despite the fact that lexicography is one of the oldest linguistic
sub-disciplines and began to compile extensive corpora early on as the basis
for dictionary work, dictionary articles and the corpora underlying these have
been used much less frequently for the study of linguistic diversity. This is
surprising given that most dictionaries do not only contain simple information
about word meanings and grammar, but also deal with variation and diversity in
many ways, such as: regional distribution, style level, language contact (e.g.
borrowing), language change or pragmatics.

This section explores the potential utility of lexicographical data in the
study linguistic diversity. We therefore invite contributions with a
lexicographical/practical or a meta-lexicographical/theoretical focus that
deal with different dictionary types for different target groups (e.g. dialect
dictionaries, historical dictionaries, contemporary dictionaries, prescriptive
and descriptive dictionaries) as well as dictionary corpora as a resource for
research. Possible research questions are:

- How is linguistic diversity treated in lexicography?
- How is linguistic diversity represented in dictionaries or in different
dictionary types?
- Which levels of a language system (in addition to lexis and semantics) can
be studied by using lexicographical data?
- Which methods can be used to access lexicographical material beyond the
dictionaries?
- Which tools are available?

Invited speakers: 
- Sarah Ogilvie (University of Oxford)
- Stefan Engelberg (IDS Mannheim)

Organizers:
- Sabine Wahl (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna)
- Philipp Stöckle (Austrian Academy of Sciences, Vienna)


Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for 30-minute oral presentations (ca. 20 minutes
presentation time + discussion) relevant to the workshop theme. Abstracts
should not exceed one page (A4, 12-point font, single spaced) and must be
anonymous. Please submit your abstract through EasyAbs
(http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/DAC2020). Selected papers will be published. 

Abstract submission deadline: 17-Aug-2019
Notification of acceptance: 6-Sep-2019

Please note that the regulations of the DGfS do not allow that workshop
participants present two or more papers in different workshops. Likewise,
organizers of other workshops at the same conference are not allowed to
present a paper in this workshop.
