Meeting Description:

53rd Linguistics Colloquium
Theme: Linguistic variation and diversity
24–27 September 2018, University of Southern Denmark in Odense

The Department of Language and Communication at the University of Southern
Denmark in Odense and the Centre for Communication, Culture and Society
cordially invite you to the 53rd Linguistics Colloquium. The conference will
be held 24–27 September 2018 at the University of Southern Denmark in Odense
(www.sdu.dk). The theme of the 2018 conference is Linguistic variation and
diversity.

The Linguistics Colloquium was founded in Hamburg, Germany, in 1966 and and
since then has been held annually in a total of 18 European countries. It is
devoted to research language and languages in all areas of linguistics. The
Linguistics Colloquium is open to different theoretical approaches and aims to
create optimal conditions for fruitful exchange of ideas and results by its
cooperative discussion culture.

This will be the third time that the Linguistics Colloquium comes to Denmark,
the previous two occasions being Copenhagen in 1971 and Aarhus in 1994.

Topic Areas:

Relevant topic areas of the conference include, but are not limited to:

- Intra- and inter-linguistic variation
- Cross-linguistic comparison – typological, contrastive, historical
- Language contact
- Multilingualism – individual, institutional, societal
- Language policies and minority languages
- Linguistic variation and diversity in the media
- Linguistic variation and diversity in language teaching
- Translation of linguistic variation

Keynote Speakers:

Tanja Mortelmans, University of Antwerp, Belgium
Heiko Marten, University of Latvia, Riga
Sharon Millar, University of Southern Denmark in Odense

Conference Languages:

The main languages of the conference are English and German. As the
Linguistics Colloquium supports linguistic diversity, we welcome parallel
language use for giving papers and presentations, covering at least one of the
main languages of conference, such as providing presentation slides in English
accompanied by a spoken presentation in Danish, or a handout in Polish
accompanied by a spoken presentation in German.

Conference Fee and Registration:

Conference fee: 100 € / 750 DKK; this comprises the conference folder, coffee
breaks, and the welcome reception on the first conference day.

The conference dinner (three-course buffet with local specialities) costs 47 €
/ 350 DKK and will be held in a traditional Danish restaurant in Odense on 26
September.

On Thursday, 27 September, there will be a full day excursion to the seaside
town of Kerteminde close to Odense. The cost is 75 € / 550 DKK, including all
entrance fees, guided tours, lunch and coffee & cake.
