Meeting Description:

DiaClas, a symposium on the past, present and future of dialect
classification, brings together researchers working on linguistic
(e.g., usage-based vs. system-based, theoretical frameworks) and
quantitative (e.g., sampling, statistical techniques, hierarchization
of boundaries) aspects of dialect classifications, and their
combination (e.g., weight of linguistic features, requirements for
definition as a dialect).

Call For Papers:

DiaClas (Dialect classification – past, present and future) invites
submissions for paper and poster presentations focusing on methods and
techniques for dialect classifications and on the future of dialect
classifications in the study of dialectology and language variation.
We also invite scientists involved with technologies or methodologies
outside linguistics that can be applied to the investigation of
dialect classification.

We invite abstracts for the following presentation formats:
 • Oral presentation: 20 minutes + 10 minutes discussion
 • Poster presentation: for work in progress and research plans

Abstracts should not exceed 500 words, excluding title and references.
The abstract should clearly state the research question(s) or aim(s),
theoretical framewoks(s), data, method and (expected) results.

Abstracts can be submitted at
https://diaclas.zrc-sazu.si/en/registration/ (deadline 15 December
2024).

When submitting, please select for which submission type you would
like to be considered. Selecting more than one type will not reduce a
submission’s chances of being accepted as an oral presentation.
Authors can submit two abstracts if at least one submission is
co-authored.

After the symposium, the presenters will have the opportunity to
submit a paper to a special issue of Dialectologia.
