Meeting Description:

The theme of NWAV-AP8 is “Asia Pacific: Always Variable, Always
Changing”. This is a celebration of the linguistic diversity and
constant evolution of the languages of the multilingual-multicultural
Asia Pacific contexts. In this 8th meeting, we would like to bring the
focus to issues of diversity and inclusivity in the larger context of
interactionism, wherein lies the intricate symbiotic relationship of
individual and community social behaviours and meaning-making. We
particularly invite submissions on language variation and change that
align with the theme of the conference, and welcome work from all
areas of variationist inquiry focused on the Asia Pacific contexts.

NWAV-AP8 will be an in-person only conference. We invite abstract
submissions for posters, talks, and special sessions. Both
quantitative and qualitative approaches to variation in all areas of
language are welcomed.

We draw on NWAV’s tradition of encouraging ‘project launch’
submissions – presenting a project in its early stages in order to get
feedback from the NWAV AP community. Please note, however, that works
featuring findings from completed research will be prioritised for
talks, so in the event of an abundance of high-quality abstracts
indicating findings from completed research, quality ‘project launch’
submissions may be accepted only for posters.

Keynote speakers:
Emeritus Professor Dr. Edgar W. Schneider, University of Regensburg
Professor James N. Stanford, Dartmouth College
Associate Professor Mie Hiramoto, National University of Singapore
Assistant Professor Pavadee Saisuwan, Chulalongkorn University
