Meeting Description:

A conference on Sociolinguistic Variation and Language Processing (SVALP) will be held at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), March 31 - April 2, 2016.

In the tradition of VALP and CIMSA, this conference provides a venue for researchers coming from traditionally distinct fields (including but not limited to sociolinguistics and cognitive science) to share their work on the relationship between socially meaningful linguistic variation and language processing. Any research in this area will be welcome, but we especially invite work that contributes to socially-nuanced and/or cognitively-explicit theory, covers phenomena in sociophonetics and/or sociosyntax, or addresses the non-theoretical applications of this research area (for example, in issues of education, discrimination, etc.). 

We are happy to announce the following plenary speakers:

Jennifer Hay (University of Canterbury)
Erez Levon (Queen Mary University of London)
Robin Panneton (Virginia Tech). 
Meghan Sumner (Stanford University)

We are also happy to announce the following invited speakers:

Molly Babel (University of British Columbia)
Penny Eckert (Stanford University)
Okim Kang (Northern Arizona University)
Arthur Samuel (Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language; Stony Brook University)
Katrien Segaert (University of Birmingham)
Lauren Squires (The Ohio State University)

2nd Call for Papers:

Abstracts should be no more than 500 words, excluding references, and must be anonymized to omit all information about the author(s). Abstracts will be anonymously reviewed. Abstracts will be considered for both oral and poster presentations. For oral presentations, presenters will have 20 minutes to present and 5 minutes for questions. Poster presentations will be featured in a 2 hour poster session. 

Submit through LINGUIST List:
