More recently,<br>linguists have increasingly recognised the complex interdependencies<br>between synchrony and diachrony, variation and change. The aim of our<br>symposium is to celebrate this new spirit of partnership and to showcase<br>some of the new research and researchers it will bring to the fore in<br>the 21st century. We therefore invite offers of papers from doctoral<br>students and early career researchers working on topics which link<br>synchrony and diachrony, or variation and change. The two-day event will<br>also feature a hands-on workshop exploring ways in which synchronic and<br>diachronic approaches can enrich each other. <br><br>The workshop will be led by Professor Ritsuko Kikusawa of the National<br>Museum of Ethnology, Osaka. The symposium will conclude with a talk by<br>Dr David Willis (Cambridge), ‘Reanalysis and Language Contact in the<br>Syntactic Atlas of Welsh Dialects’, open to all participants as well as<br>to other members of the Philological Society and their guests. <br><br>No fee will be charged for full members or student associate members of<br>the Society attending this symposium. A fee of £10 will be charged to<br>non-members (£5 to students). Fees will be collected on the day of the<br>event during Registration (11.30am-1.00pm). Fees will be waived for<br>individuals who join the Society on the day. The membership application<br>form is available online from <a href="http://www.philsoc.org.uk/membership.asp">http://www.philsoc.org.uk/membership.asp</a>.<br>Membership subscription is £10 per annum for full members or £10 for<br>five years for student associate members. A sandwich lunch and wine<br>reception on Friday, as well as tea and coffee on both days, are<br>provided free of charge for all registered participants. <br><br>Papers are invited from doctoral students and early career researchers<br>working on topics which link synchrony and diachrony, or variation and<br>change. Offers of papers, accompanied by an abstract of not more than<br>150 words, should be sent to Dr Philomen Probert at<br><a href="mailto:philomen.probert@wolfson.ox.ac.uk">philomen.probert@wolfson.ox.ac.uk</a> by Monday 28 November 2011. <br><br>The Society intends to offer some grants for travel and/or accommodation<br>to enable students to attend this event. If you would like to apply for<br>funding, please contact the Hon. Treasurer, Dr Philip Durkin, by email<br>to <a href="mailto:treasurer@philsoc.org.uk">treasurer@philsoc.org.uk</a> by Monday 5 December 2011; ask your<br>supervisor to write to him in support of your application. If you are<br>also submitting an abstract for consideration for the symposium, you may<br>apply for a grant for both travel and accommodation at the same time (up<br>to the deadline of 28 November for submitting abstracts).<br><br></div></blockquote></div><br><div>
