Meeting Description:

The annual Taal-en-Tongval symposium will take place in the Royal
Academy for Dutch Language and Literature (KANTL) in Ghent on Friday
November 24th, 2023. The conference theme is Laboratory
sociolinguistics and explores answers to theoretical and
methodological challenges in research on language variation and
change.

Laboratory sociolinguistics builds upon existing variationist research
and goes hand in hand with recent developments within and outside
sociolinguistics (Van de Velde et al. 2021). From a theoretical
perspective, the goal of laboratory sociolinguistics is to investigate
the linguistic, social and cognitive mechanisms that drive processes
of language variation and change (see e.g. Principles of Linguistic
Change by Labov; the development of cognitive sociolinguistics in
Flanders spearheaded by Geeraerts). These mechanisms are studied by
focussing on how we produce, perceive, process and acquire variation
and how these primarily individual cognitive processes are linked to
processes of variation and change in the linguistic community and in
the language system.

Methodologically, this approach principally focuses on experimental
research in a controlled (laboratory) setting and on quantitative
methods, thereby building upon insights from traditional
sociolinguistic research (based on fieldwork and corpora). These
methods allow us to identify the mechanisms behind production,
perception and acquisition with adequate control of both language
internal and external factors.

This colloquium aims to bring together researchers who wish to present
their work on language variation and change in the Low Countries and
to join in the debate on theoretical aspects of the study of language
variation and change, including multilingualism and language
acquisition, and the advantages and disadvantages of laboratory
approaches in (socio)linguistics. We invite both contributions that
report on experimental research, as well as those providing a more
theoretical and methodological perspective. Presentations have a
maximum duration of 20 minutes (excluding discussion).

Call for Papers:

Abstracts (300-500 words) can be submitted until June 30th, 2023, in
the form of an email attachment to taalentongval2023 at gmail.com. You
are requested to state your name and affiliation in the email, as well
as those of any co-authors. Abstracts can be written in Dutch or
English. The selection will be announced by mid July.

We welcome Chris Montgomery (University of Sheffield), Thomas St.
Pierre (Utrecht University) and Ellen Simon (Universiteit Gent) as
keynote speakers this year.

Following the tradition, a special issue will appear in the Taal- en
Tongval journal.
