Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Course description: At the LANCHART Centre we have for many years now been concerned with the integration of various strands of sociolinguistics with a view towards fruitful collaboration and integration of results. This is an endeavour from which Ph. D. students as well as more senor researchers would benefit from seeing through. Thus we are all the more happy that we have been able to persuade a number of the discipline's top researchers to focus in their presentations on the different research questions and neighbouring disciplines which they have worked with, in order to give a selected group of students from the global sociolinguistic community a chance to see their own project in a broader perspective.

Invitation:

The LANCHART Centre at University of Copenhagen is happy to invite PhD students from the international sociolinguistic community to send applications by March 20th for participation in: 

International Summer School 2010
Sociolinguistic Perspectives, Copenhagen, 7-12 June 

Plenary lecturers will be Shana Poplack (University of Ottawa, Canada), Dave Britain (University of Bern, Switzerland), Peter Auer (University of Freiburg, Germany), Nik Coupland (University of Cardiff, Wales) and Professor Brian Joseph (Ohio State University, USA). Course director and moderator will be Professor Frans Gregersen (University of Copenhagen, Denmark). 

Location: 

The summer school will take place at the University of Copenhagen. The administration of the LANCHART Centre's address:  Njalsgade 136, building 27, 5th floor, DK-2300 Copenhagen S, DENMARK. Please note that the exact location of each session will be announced upon arrival. 

Application for participation: 

We accept applications from PhD students, i.e. graduate students who have finished an MA and are working on a PhD project. You can read more about the summer school and fill out the registration form from our homepage www.dgcss.dk 

You shall apply no later than April 15th and also include an abstract of your project of a maximum of 5 pages. Information about admittance will be sent out no later than May 3rd, 2010.

Participation is free of charge if your application is accepted. Due to a grant from the Danish National Research Foundation under its International Talent Recruitment Programme, The LANCHART Centre will pay for all meals during the course (cf. the programme) and lodging at a hostel. However, participants will have to cover their travel costs and meals in connection with arrival and departure. 

Course certificate and credits: 

A course certificate will be issued, based on 80% active participation. 4,5 ECTS credits will be awarded by completion of the course. 

PhD project presentations:
