Call Deadline: 29-Aug-2016 

Meeting Description:

This panel aims to showcase research in the field of lectometry. In this
field, quantitative measures are employed to aggregate over linguistic
variables in order to establish the relative similarity (or distance) between
different lects. These lects are collections of linguistic features that can
vary along any extra-linguistic contextual dimension in the broadest sense
possible (Geeraerts, Grondelaers & Bakema 1994: 4). Given the definition
above, several fields of linguistic research fall within the scope of
lectometry. Specifically, in dialectometry, stylometry, sociolectometry and
language perception research, distances between lects are studied along the
geographical, discursive, social and subjective axis respectively. In this
panel, we aim to highlight the range of research questions that can be
addressed against the background of lectometry.

The panel’s keynote speaker will be Martijn Wieling (Winner of the 2016
European Young Research Award (EYRA)), who will talk about “New approaches for
investigating and analyzing dialectal linguistic variation”.

The panel on lectometry is organised by: Jocelyne Daems, Karlien Franco, Laura
Rosseel* & Melanie Röthlisberger from the Quantitative Lexicology and
Variational Linguistics (QLVL) research group at University of Leuven, Belgium
and *the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO).


2nd Call for Papers:

We invite researchers to submit an anonymized abstract of 400-500 words
(excluding references), for 20 minute talks with 10 minutes additional
discussion to lectometrypanel at kuleuven.be by August 29, 2016. Notifications of
acceptance will be sent out by September 9, 2016. The online platform on the
official ICLaVE website is intended only for panel organizers, or for abstract
submissions for the general session.
