Meeting Description:
The conference will focus on pluricentric/pluriareal Languages in their complex linguistic
and socio-linguistic contexts from the perspective of variationist linguistics, language
contact studies, perceptionist linguistics and studies into language attitudes. A special
emphasis will be placed on varieties of the German language in Austria. Consideration will
be made for synchronic and diachronic variation at all linguistic levels and with regard to all
varieties of languages as well as their contact languages.
In addition, the conference will highlight contributions from the field of ''Digital Humanities''
that have as their research object the collection and preparation of linguistic data about the
topic.
The conference seeks to foster the exchange of ideas among a broad and international
audience and to create a space for the discussion of a wide variety of theoretical and
empirical approaches to pluricentricity and pluriareality.
The conference is organised by the German Studies Department (Universität Wien), the
Department for Slavic Studies (Universität Wien), the Centre for Translation Studies
(Universität Wien) and the Research Group Corpus-based Linguistic Research of the
Institute for Corpus Linguistics und Text Technology (Austrian Academie of Sciences).
