Meeting Description:

Methods in Dialectology is a triennial conference that traditionally
alternates between Canada and Europe. Originally a forum for the discussion of
methodological issues in dialect research, Methods conferences have
progressively extended their topical range and now include the whole spectrum
of regional, historical, and social language variation. The Methods series
welcomes contributions investigating any of the world’s languages.

The theme for Methods XVII is (Dia)Lects in the 21st Century. 
We are delighted to announce that the following colleagues have agreed to give
a plenary at Methods XVII:

- Jenny Cheshire (Queen Mary, London)
- Karen Corrigan (Newcastle) 
- Damaris Nübling (Mainz)
- Sali Tagliamonte (Toronto)

JGU Mainz

Call for Papers:

Methods XVII invites submissions for paper and poster presentations, as well
as proposals for special sessions. The conference will take place from August
3-7, 2020. It will be hosted by the Department of English and Linguistics (JGU
Mainz) and held at the Erbacher Hof in Mainz.


Call for Special Session Proposals (due September 1, 2019):

We invite special session proposals for Methods XVII, which will be held
throughout the conference. 

Special sessions may either be concerned with particular methodological
instruments, technological innovations or special themes, or they may have a
particular focus on a language group or a specific topic. 
Each proposal should include an overview of the topic and its importance, in
no more than 500 words. The proposal should also state the relevance of the
special session to Methods XVII. 
If you would like to organise a special session, please submit your proposal
with a complete list of speakers and all abstracts (4-8 slots available per
special session, 2-4 hours in total) by September 1, 2019. Potential
organisers of special sessions are responsible for calls and peer-review prior
to submission of the proposal to Methods XVII.

Submit your special session proposal here:
https://www.umfrageonline.com/s/methodsviispecialsessionsubmission

Notifications of acceptance will be sent out by the end of October 2019. 


Call for Abstracts (due November 15, 2019):

We invite abstracts for the following presentation formats:
- full paper (20 + 10 mins discussion)
- poster (incl. a 5-minute presentation in the Poster Pitch Session)

Abstracts must be anonymous and not exceed 500 words. References do not count
toward the word count. Abstracts should clearly state the research
question(s), approach, method, data and (expected) results. Please submit
anonymous files in pdf format. When submitting, please specify whether you
would prefer your abstract to be considered for acceptance as a paper, poster,
or both (note that selecting ‘both’ will not reduce a submission’s chances of
being accepted as a paper). Authors are allowed to submit two abstracts if at
least one paper is co-authored.

We accept submissions through
https://www.umfrageonline.com/s/methodsxviisubmission

until November 15, 2019.
