Meeting Description:
The University of Texas at Austin is hosting the 49th meeting of New Ways of
Analyzing Variation as a virtual conference. This year's theme is DIVERSITY IN
VARIATION. Through talks and workshops, we plan to highlight communities,
research questions, and methods that reflect the full diversity of language
variation studies.
Our plenary speakers are Marlyse Baptista (University of Michigan), Amelia
Tseng (American University), and Tracey Weldon (University of South Carolina).
Call for Papers:
The Organizing Committee of New Ways of Analysing Variation 49 (NWAV 49)
invites abstract submissions for the conference, which will be held from
October 19 to 24, 2021. Papers and posters may address any topic related to
language variation and/or change. All abstracts will undergo anonymous review.
All abstracts are due by June 01, 2021, with notification of acceptance or
rejection by July 15, 2021. We are able to offer the following options for
participation in NWAV 49:
- Abstracts for regular papers and posters. Papers will be delivered as video
lectures and discussed in a live Q&A session. Posters will be submitted as
graphic files and presented at a poster session, where attendees can discuss
with presenters. Abstracts should be anonymous, a maximum of 500 words in
length, and be written in a standard 12-point font. Bibliography, glossed
and/or transcribed examples, and images may appear on a second page and do not
count towards the word limit.
- Proposals for special sessions are to include an abstract for the special
session itself, accompanied by an additional abstract for each paper proposed
for the special session. Proposals are to be submitted electronically by the
organizer as a single PDF, with separate pages for each individual abstract.
Abstracts should follow the guidelines outlined above, although the abstract
for the special session itself does not have to be anonymous if information
about the proposed authors is important for the review of the proposed special
session. (Individual paper abstracts should still be anonymized.) Proposals
for special sessions are to be submitted via the main abstract submittal site
on Oxford Abstracts. Please indicate in the title that it is a proposal for a
special session (e.g. ''Special Session: Variation in the Hebrew Noun
Phrase''). If you are interested in organizing a special session, we ask that
you also contact the organizers early on via e-mail at
nwav49committee at gmail.com.
- Proposals for workshops are to be no more than 500 words, not counting
references. They should provide an overview of the topic, its importance, and
the relevance of the workshop to NWAV 49. Proposals are also to include a
complete list of speakers, abstracts of all proposed presentations, and a
statement on the mode of electronic delivery (synchronous and asynchronous
elements). Proposals are to be submitted electronically by the organizer as a
single PDF, with separate pages for each individual abstract. Abstracts should
follow the guidelines outlined above in the call for regular papers and
posters. Proposals for workshops are to be submitted via the main abstract
submittal site on Oxford Abstracts; please check the appropriate box to
indicate that it is a proposal for a workshop. If you are interested in
offering a workshop, we ask that you contact the organizers early on via
e-mail at nwav49committee at gmail.com.
Organizers of potential special sessions and workshops are responsible for
calls for papers and peer review before submission of the proposal to NWAV 49.
Although submissions may address any and all areas of language variation and
change, for NWAV 49 we particularly welcome proposals which highlight:
- Variation in less studied communities
- Computational sociolinguistics
- Methodological innovation
- Combination of multiple methods
Authors of abstracts concerning less commonly studied varieties, such as
endangered languages and other small or limited-access communities, will be
asked to mark them as such at the time of submission. The reviewers for NWAV
49 will take into consideration that corpora for such varieties/languages may
not be as large as those for studies of English and other international
languages, and that this data disparity may have implications at the level of
methodological design.
Authors may submit one single-authored and one joint-authored abstract, or two
joint-authored abstracts. This limit applies to all presentations, regardless
of type (paper, poster, or part of a special session). In the submission
process, you will be asked to indicate topic areas for the submission (this is
simply to streamline the reviewing process). You will also be asked to
indicate whether the submission is eligible for the Best Student Abstract
Award (see below) and whether you prefer to give a poster presentation.
Papers will be selected for prerecorded/live video or poster presentation
based on determinations in the review process about the most effective format
for submissions. If you prefer a submission be considered primarily for poster
presentation, you can indicate this in the submission process.
Eligibility for the Best Student Abstract Award:
Submissions whose primary intellectual work has been done by students are
eligible for a Best Student Abstract Award. If your submission is eligible,
please indicate this by checking the appropriate box on the abstract
submission website. (To be eligible, an abstract must be [co-]authored solely
by [a] student[s]; abstracts with faculty co-authors are also eligible, if any
faculty co-authors have only played an advisory role, e.g. for abstracts based
on dissertation or class-related research.) Please contact the organizers at
nwav49committee at gmail.com if you have any questions.
