Meeting Description:

The 1st International Symposium on Grammatical Variation and the Construction
of Meaning aims at becoming a forum for scientific exchange and advancement in
the study of linguistic variation ‒ mainly at the morphosyntactic and
discursive levels ‒ as a resource for speakers to construct and negotiate
meanings in interaction. In this area of research there is an ever-growing
awareness that traditional variationist approaches, based on the establishment
of correlations between linguistic forms and geographical zones, social
ascriptions of speakers or features of the situation, can hardly reach beyond
the descriptive level and answer a number of fundamental questions: Why does
variation exist in the first place? Are there really different ways of saying
the same? Is it possible to elucidate regular or systematic connections
between the inherent meanings of grammatical forms and their distribution
according to extralinguistic factors? Are processes of diachronic change a
mere effect of mechanical and/or sociocultural factors, or do they
simultaneously entail the progressive replacement of some meanings with
others?

The organization of this Symposium is part of the activities of the research
project «Formalización e integración de dimensiones estilísticas en el
análisis de la elección gramatical en español. Los continuos del punto de
vista y la modalidad del discurso» (PID2020-113474GB-I00), funded by the
Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities within the Programa
Estatal de Generación de Conocimiento y Fortalecimiento Científico y
Tecnológico del Sistema de I+D+i. The main goal of this project is to promote
the development of an integrative theoretical model of grammatical variation
as cognitively-based choice that makes it possible to create meaning at all
possible internal and external meanings of linguistic communication. This
enterprise follows the route explored during the last years in the works of
research group Comunicación, Sociedad y Lenguajes.

Keynote speaker: 
Antonio Fábregas (The Arctic University of Norway/University of Tromso).


Final Call for Papers:

Presentation proposals are welcome on any aspect of morphosyntactic and
discursive variation in Spanish, English or other languages, which adopt a
certain theoretical-methodological approach to the use of grammatical
constructions as the choice of meaning in context, and may thus contribute to
the development of theoretical models of variation along the lines sketched
above.
