Meeting Description:

The online symposium Historical Urban Vernaculars and Supralocalisation
Processes takes place on zoom on 19 and 20 November 2021.

Historical urban vernaculars play an important role in the explanation of
supralocalisation processes and thus the standardisation of written languages.
Some of the factors that illustrate the seminal role of written language
produced in cities for the explanation of standardisation processes are the
higher literacy rates, the existence of religious and civic writing centres,
the development of book printing, and dialect and language contact through
migration and trade.

To shed more light on historical urban vernaculars and supralocalisation
processes in different languages and to promote cross-linguistic discussions,
the Emerging Standards team cordially invites researchers working on
historical urban vernaculars and related topics to submit an abstract to the
1.5 day symposium Historical Urban Vernaculars and Supralocalisation
Processes. 

We have the pleasure to welcome the following keynote speakers:

Wim Vandenbussche (Vrije Universiteit Brussel)
Joshua Brown (The Australian National University, Canberra)
Joanna Kopaczyk (University of Glasgow)


Call for Papers:

If you are interested in presenting your research (20-minute paper and 5 mins
for questions) at the symposium, please submit a 300-word abstract (excl.
references) by 30 September 2021 on this page: https://bit.ly/3naXbyu
You will be notified of your paper’s acceptance by 8 October 2021.

Given that the symposium is online, there are no symposium fees.
