Meeting Description: 

Digitalization is undoubtedly one of the great revolutions in human history.
Technologization and digitalization make it possible that massive amounts of
linguistic data, past and present, are available through various channels.
These data can be combined, annotated, mined and visualized using high-powered
computing. For several decades, English linguistics has been at the forefront
of this revolution in the humanities, as evinced for instance in the
development and use of digital corpora and in the quantitative turn in the
field. While we recognize these past achievements, ISLE 6 seeks to assess the
impact of digitalization in English linguistics and in the study of its
varieties. We hope to be a venue for state-of-the-art presentations that
highlight how digitalization can (or cannot) benefit the study of English
linguistics and how it could help us understand its past and present and
possibly predict its future paths.

ISLE 6 will take place on 2–5 June 2021 as a hybrid conference with options
for both on-site and online participation. The full academic program can be
followed online, and we are currently planning for different ways of
socializing and interacting on-site and online. We are of course closely
monitoring the situation and are ready to go fully digital if need be. We will
inform you of any changes through the ISLE website (www.isle-linguistics.org)
and through the ISLE 6 website (https://sites.uef.fi/isle6/). With changes in
the conference format, we will also be able to accommodate more papers, and we
will therefore open a new call for papers, posters and workshops.
 

Program Information: 

The program for ISLE 6 is now available at

2021!
