Envisaged book series (publisher): Studies in Language Variation (John
Benjamins)

Call Deadline: November 30, 2019

Linguistic variation in standard varieties of languages such as English or
German are often modeled according to two central, but often opposing,
approaches: pluricentricity (situations wherein a single language has several
national standard varieties which interact with each other and are used for
official purposes within their national contexts), and pluriareality
(contradicting the idea of variation according to national standards, and
instead aiming to describe linguistic differences in these language forms
independent of national and political borders). This proposed volume seeks to
supplement selected papers and keynote addresses from the “International
Conference on Pluricentricity vs. Pluriareality: Models, Varieties,
Approaches” with high quality additions from scholars working in these fields
– particularly those which seek an integrationist approach to these two
concepts. 

The volume aims to combine perspectives from scholars from both German and
English linguistics (and linguists working on other languages) on the
pluricentricity/pluriareality debate, a so far, in part, heated academic
discussion whose argumentation has not always been fully nuanced. In so doing,
it hopes to bring together scholarly work from two paradigms which have, in
the past, had little serious bearing on each other in either English or German
sociolinguistics and dialectology. A major contribution of the volume will lie
in the inclusion of contributions which argue for a “Third Way” in the
pluricentricity/pluriareality debate - seeking to integrate both concepts in
modeling variation in standards. Already accepted chapters argue that these
concepts are potentially interrelated or complementary, rather than opposed to
each other, as has often been indicated in previous research.

To this end, the editors invite further submissions from interested scholars
seeking to explore the interfaces of pluricentricity and pluriareality in the
following or other related fields:

- Variation studies
- New theoretical models
- Post-colonial varieties
- Non-dominant varieties
- New methodological approaches
- Educational linguistics
- Historical developments
- Lexicosemantics
- Regional standards

Chapter proposals, written in English and in WORD file format, should be sent
to plur2019 at uni-muenster.de and not exceed 500 words (excluding references,
figures, and/or other additional information). If you have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact us.
