Methods in Dialectology XVIII
First call for papers

Methods in Dialectology is a triennial conference that has
traditionally alternated between Canada and Europe. Originally a forum
for methodological issues in dialect research, the conference has
progressively extended its range of topics to include not only
regional but also historical and social variation in language. Methods
XVIII will take place for the first time in Australia, 1-5 July 2024
at the Bundoora campus of La Trobe University in the northern suburbs
of Melbourne. The theme for Methods XVIII is Diversity in Dialect and
Language.

We are delighted to announce the following plenary speakers:
- Jane Simpson, Roy Barker and Alison Mount (Australian National
University)
- Jane Stuart-Smith (University of Glasgow)
- Rebecca Starr (National University of Singapore)

We invite submissions for paper and poster presentations, as well as
proposals for workshops and special sessions.

Call for Proposals for Workshops and Special Sessions

Workshops and special sessions will be held throughout the conference.
Workshops may focus on data, methods or technologies, while special
sessions may focus on (groups of) languages/dialects or a particular
topic. Proposals should consist of an overview of the topic and its
relevance to the conference (no more than 500 words) and a list of
contributions (4-8 per workshop or session) and abstracts of no more
than 500 words for each contribution. Organisers of workshops and
special sessions are responsible for soliciting and peer-reviewing
contributions prior to submitting their proposal by 30 November 2023
to methodsxviii at gmail.com. Notifications of acceptance will be sent
out by the beginning of January 2024.

Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for oral presentations (20 minutes plus 10 minutes
discussion) and poster presentations (including a 5-minute
presentation in the poster pitch session). Abstracts, which must be
anonymous and not exceed 500 words (excluding references), should
clearly state the research question, data, methods and results. Please
submit an anonymous PDF to
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=methods18 by 15 January 2024.
When submitting, specify whether you would prefer your abstract to be
considered for acceptance as a paper, poster, or either. Authors may
submit two abstracts if at least one abstract is co-authored.
Notification of acceptance will be sent out in early March 2024, by
which time information about travel, accommodation and registration
will be made available.
