Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2017 

Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce that the First Symposium on Linguistic Approaches
to Dialects in English Literature (1500-1950) (LADEL) will be held at the
University of Salamanca on 26-27 October 2017. 

This is one of the academic activities that have been scheduled to celebrate
the 65th anniversary of the Department of English Philology, the first to
offer a degree in Anglo-American Studies in Spain. The Symposium aims to bring
together international scholars so that they can discuss different linguistic
approaches to the literary representation of older varieties of English (in
Britain and overseas), a field which has received renewed scholarly attention
over the past few years. We expect that the Symposium may serve as a forum 
for linguists working in this particular sub-discipline so that they can meet,
exchange and learn about other methods and approaches that might actually
inform their current work. 

The following plenary speakers have already confirmed their participation:

Prof. Joan C. Beal (University of Sheffield): ''The chicken or the egg:
Dialect in Literature as Evidence for Historical Enregisterment''
Prof. Marina Dossena (Università degli studi di Bergamo): ''Peaceful
co-existence? Ideology in the Representation of Languages and Varieties in
Late Modern Literature''
