Apologies for cross-postings!
Dear members of Linganth -- Linguistic Anthropology Discussion Group,
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 of pluricentric languages world wide
and about pragmatic differences and differences in interaction in
national varieties.
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)
