Meeting Description:

The 51st Conference on New Ways of Analyzing Variation

NWAV is an annual academic conference on linguistic variation
attracting researchers and students conducting scientific research
into patterns of language variation, the study of language change in
progress, and the interrelationship between language and society.

NWAV51 is hosted by Queens College (QC) and the Research Institute for
the Study of Language in Urban Society (RISLUS). QC is one of the 25
campuses of the City University of New York, the largest urban public
university in the US. The college’s 18,500 students are mostly 1st and
2nd generation immigrants who speak over 94 home languages. RISLUS, a
CUNY-wide research institute newly housed at QC, was set up to support
research into the linguistic diversity that gives rise to those
numbers and the educational and social opportunities and challenges
that diversity presents.   Over the last few decades, population
movements have made multilingualism and multidialectalism bywords in
virtually all postindustrial cities, making linguistic contact a
central concern in the field. However, Queens stands apart not only in
the scale of the phenomenon but in the way immigration has become
integrated into the borough’s identity. The conference theme of NWAV51
is “Variation in the World’s Languages” and we encourage submissions
addressing language contact, multilingualism, and variation in
different domains across many languages, including those that have
been understudied. Moreover, given the interdisciplinary nature of
RISLUS, that goal also includes expanding the variationist enterprise
methodologically and theoretically. 

Location: Queens College/CUNY
Theme: Variation in the World’s Languages
Date: October 13-15, 2023

Call for Papers:

Call for Abstracts: We invite abstract submissions for papers and
posters! Quantitative and qualitative work on variation in any
linguistic domain is welcomed, especially submissions that align with
the conference theme (Variation in the World’s Languages): variation
in bi-multilingualism; cross-linguistic variation; variation in
understudied languages.

Submission Deadline:  May 31, 2023
