of the New Ways of Analyzing Variation – Asia Pacific conference (NWAV-AP 7) invites submissions for individual papers and proposals for special sessions. Hosted by the Department of Linguistics and the Southeast Asian Linguistics Research Unit (ChulaSEAL),
Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University, the conference will take place at the Faculty of Arts, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, from 14-16 December 2022 in a hybrid format.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400">NWAV-AP offers researchers an opportunity to present and exchange ongoing issues in the scope of language variation and change in the Asia-Pacific region. The theme of this year’s
conference is "language variation and shifting values across generations." Many social movements driven by people of younger generations have recently taken place in the Asia-Pacific region, reflecting social dynamics and rapidly shifting values. With population
aging underway and the world constantly changing, a clash of opinions and personalities among different generations is inevitable. As linguistic practices are significant for not only forming individual self but also characterizing a generation, the study
of language variation and change can shed light on generational differences and transitions in society. We particularly invite papers on language variation and change which speak to this theme including, but not limited to, intergenerational variation, generational
variation, age grading, and change across the lifespan. Other papers on language variation and change across the Asia-Pacific region are also welcome.</span></p>

<span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;font-weight:400">Abstracts for both individual papers and special sessions proposals should not exceed 350 words and must be anonymous. Author names should not appear anywhere on abstracts. An author
may submit at most one single-authored and one co-authored abstract. Do not include reference lists, tables or figures in abstracts. Each presentation will be 20 minutes long, with a 5-minute Q&A period.</span></p>
