[Ethnocomm] Invitation to the 5th World conference on pluricentric languages and their non-dominant varieties

[muhr]

Dear members of Ethnocomm List - Ethnography of Communication ,

we would like to draw your attention to the

*5th World conference on pluricentric languages and their non-dominant 
varieties *which is to take place in Mainz, Germany July 13-16th 2017 
and invite you to participate in the conference and to present  papers 
and workshops about the situation  pluricentric languages world wide and 
about pragmatic and differences in interaction.

The conference is organised by the Working Group on non-dominant 
varieties of pluricentric languages (WGDV) (www.pluricentriclanguages.org).

The general theme of the conference is "*Models of pluricentricity: 
Nation, space and language*".

This time the conference will try to focus on the influence of 
geographic aspects on the modelling of dominant and non-dominant 
varieties to further advance the understanding of whether geographically 
contiguous varieties follow the same pathways in their affirmation as 
own varieties as do geographically separated ones (e.g. European and 
Brazilian Portuguese).

You find all necessary information on the web site of the 
conference:*http://www.ndv-conf.org*

Best regards

Rudolf Muhr (Co-ordinator of WGDNV)
Benjamin Meissnitzer (Organiser of the conference)
