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)

Call for Papers:

We are pleased to announce the call for papers for Sociolinguistic Variation and Language Processing (SVALP), to be held at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg VA, from March 31 - April 2, 2016.
