Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the 8th International Conference on
Late Modern English (LModE-8) will be held on 02-04 October 2024 at
the University of Salamanca (Spain). It will be organised by members
of the DING (English Dialectology and the History of the English
Language) research group.

Following on from the previous successful conferences in Edinburgh
(2001), Vigo (2004), Leiden (2007), Sheffield (2010), Bergamo (2013),
Uppsala (2017) and Ragusa (2022), the theme of the next conference in
Salamanca will be ‘Unheard voices, forgotten Englishes in Late Modern
times’. This edition of the LModE conference aims to bring together
scholars working on the ‘other’ Englishes of the Late Modern period in
England and beyond. We expect, therefore, that LModE-8 can be a forum
to share ongoing research on overseas varieties of English, provincial
speech, the language of specific social groups / individuals, as well
as archival materials and methodologies that can advance our knowledge
of less-investigated forms of English during this time. Of course,
proposals that deal with other topics related to Late Modern English
will also be considered.

The following plenary speakers have confirmed their participation:

- Prof. Anita Auer (Université de Lausanne)
- Prof. Lynda Mugglestone (University of Oxford)
- Prof. Laura Wright (University of Cambridge)

As in previous editions, LModE-8 will run over three days in parallel
sessions and will offer a number of social activities that include a
walking tour of the historic city centre, a visit to the Old Library,
and a trip to the beautiful village of La Alberca or to Zamora, a
Romanesque town near Salamanca.

The first Call for Papers and further particulars will be circulated
in September 2023. Individual papers and proposals for round tables
will be welcome.

If you have any questions, please contact us at: lmode8 at usal.es. You
can also find us at @latemode8 on Twitter!

We look forward to welcoming you in Salamanca in 2024!
