Meeting Description:

Variation is the occurrence of more than one form for one function and is
found at all levels of the linguistic system. Moreover, variation does not
only include variation between languages (= typology), but also within a
language or even within the speaker/writer itself (cf. e.g., the different
levels according to Flydal 1952 who is the first to raise the issue). We refer
here mainly to the second meaning, i.e., variation within a language system.  

Variation has increasingly come into the focus of formal and functional
strands of linguistics in recent years (starting with Kayne 1996; see Völker
2009 discussing different types of variation), and with it the need to explain
linguistic variation. At the same time, variation within the language system
is a phenomenon that every speaker (including lay people) is aware of and has
also experienced, thus providing an experience-based, intuitive approach to
language.

Invited speakers: Raphael Berthelé (University of Fribourg), Rita Franceschini
(em., Free University of Bozen-Bolzano), Ulrike Freywald (Technical University
of Dortmund)



Call for Papers:

The workshops of the LiDi series aim to establish a link between linguistic
research and didactic action in the classroom. In the Zurich workshop we would
like to combine findings from theoretical and descriptive linguistics in the
field of variation with the transfer to language didactics: How can the latest
findings from linguistic research be «translated» into meaningful pedagogical
linguistics (see e.g., Berthele/Udry 2019, Franceschini 2009, Wiese/Freywald
2017)?

Specifically, we are interested in the following questions: 

- How can/must we explain language variation (in a language or within a
speaker) to pupils/students, namely variation at the level of the lexeme,
phoneme, morpheme, or in syntax?  
- To what degree must or should teachers address non-standard variation in the
classroom (e.g., le français en Suisse, Swiss Standard German, British or
American English)? 
- To what extent can variational linguistics help us decide whether a pupil’s
utterance represents a violation of standard norms or simply a variant (e.g.,
spoken vs. written language)? 
- Are there interfaces between language acquisition, language teaching and
language variation? And can the didactics of multilingualism (Candelier 2008)
serve as a source of inspiration for answering the question of how to deal
with linguistic variation in the classroom?  
- What further findings from recent research in linguistics should teachers
(in both primary and secondary education) be aware of so that they can use
them in their teaching?  

We invite submissions for oral presentations. Abstracts should be submitted as
PDF and Word file, in 12pt Times Roman font, and be no more than one A4 page
long (you may include a second page for references). Presentations can be
either in English or German. Abstracts should be submitted via
https://www.ds.uzh.ch/de/tagungen/lidi2023/Abstract.html

Submission deadline: October 31, 2022 
Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2023 
Organization: Patrick Mächler, Ann-Marie Moser, Harald Völker (all University
of Zurich)
