Conference theme:

Discourse resources: the  sociolinguistics of access,
availability and distribution.

            In addition to papers in any area of        sociolinguistics,
the academic programme committee particularly welcomes        papers which
address the connections between sociolinguistics and        discourse
analysis by foregrounding issues of inequality with regard to
resources of language, discourses, styles and genres. Contributors are
encouraged to pay special attention to international as well as local
sites of language use and to signed as well as spoken language.
