We are pleased to inform you that the 7th International Conference on
Discourse-Pragmatic Variation and Change (DiPVaC) will take place at
the University of Salzburg, Austria, from 23-25 September 2026.
Confirmed plenary speakers are:
Miriam Meyerhoff (University of Oxford, UK)
Emma Moore (University of Sheffield, UK)
John A. Bateman (University of Bremen, Germany)
Gunther Kaltenböck (University of Graz, Austria)
Scott F. Kiesling (University of Pittsburgh, U.S.)
DiPVaC is a biennial international conference series showcasing
cutting-edge, primarily quantitative research on variation and change
in what are broadly termed ‘discourse-pragmatic features’:  this
includes (but is not limited to) research on discourse markers or
pragmatic particles whose primary functions are interpersonal and
textual (e.g., well, like, you know, comme, alors, doch, zwar,
diciamo, dakedo, etc.); tag questions; silence; filled pauses;
adjectives; adverbs; and general extenders.
The conference builds on an extensive international research network
(see www.dipvac.org) with a track record of profiling the latest
research in discourse-pragmatic variation and change in a wide variety
of languages. It also provides a forum for the discussion of
methodological, empirical and theoretical advancements in the analysis
of variation and change in the use of discourse-pragmatic features;
opportunities for the examination of the social implications and
applications of research into the use of these features; and the
formation of new international and multidisciplinary research
networks.
The call for papers for DiPVaC7 will be published in September 2025
with a deadline in January 2026.
We look forward to your participation.
With best wishes,
Erik Schleef, Jana Pflaeging, Matthew Hadodo, and Evelyn N. Roth
