Meeting Description: 

What is DiPVaC?
DiPVaC is a biennial international conference series showcasing cutting-edge
research into quantitative approaches to variation and change in what are
broadly termed 'discourse-pragmatic features': this includes (but is not
limited to) research on discourse markers or pragmatic particles whose primary
functions are interpersonal and textual (e.g. well, like, you know, comme,
alors, doch, zwar, diciamo, dakedo, etc.); tag questions; silence; filled
pauses; adjectives; adverbs; and general extenders.

The conference builds on an extensive international research network (see
https://www.dipvac.org/) and a track record of profiling the latest research
in discourse-pragmatic variation and change in a wide variety of languages. It
also provides a forum for the discussion of methodological, empirical and
theoretical advancements in the analysis of variation and change in the use of
discourse-pragmatic features; opportunities for the examination of the social
implications and applications of research into the use of these features; and
the formation of new international and multidisciplinary research networks.
