Meeting Description:

Accents is an annual conference organized by the Department of English
Language and Applied Linguistics at the University of Łódź, Poland. It brings
together researchers and teachers interested in native and non-native accents
of English, approached from a variety of theoretical and/or practical
perspectives. The key issues discussed each year include individual accent
characteristics, the dynamism of accent usage, accent teaching and learning,
the methods and tools for accent studies. Accents 2016 aims to continue the
discussion of the main themes of variability and function of accents, focusing
on 'accents in context'. 

Confirmed Plenary Speakers:

- Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk
- Jan Volín
- Mirosław Pawlak
- Pavel Trofimovich 

It is our pleasure to announce that professor Jan Volín has agreed to give a

Final Call for Papers:
 
We invite proposals for papers for thematic sessions to be held during the
Accents2016 conference:  

- Accents and Phonology: Usage Based Phonology  
- Accents and Teacher Training 
- Accents and Migrants 

Please notice that in special sessions we do not limit the scope of our
interest to English only and we invite contributions discussing accents in
other target or home languages. 

Each author can propose two contributions provided that one of them is
co-authored.  Papers are given 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for
discussion. The deadline for abstract submission is September 30, 2016. Please
send two copies of your abstract of up to 400 words (excluding references) to
accents at uni.lodz.pl, specifying the intended session and the format (in-person
or pre-recorded presentation), name and affiliation written under the title in
one copy. The proposals will go through the process of peer review, after
which notifications of acceptance will be sent out by October 15, 2016. 

As well as the three special thematic streams of Accents 2016 we will for the
first time be offering a free pre-conference special session on Accents &
Migrants, convened by Una Cunningham at the University of Canterbury in New
Zealand. This will be run as an asynchronous online presentation space where
video presentations (max 15 minutes) or digital posters (max 5 minutes) can be
viewed and discussed. The discussion will be open between Saturday November 26
and the end of Accents 2016 on Saturday December 3 2016. The presentations
will be available after the event through the University of Canterbury
Institutional Repository.
