We kindly invite you to submit an abstract for our thematic session
“Highlighting Social and Areal Variation in Grammar” at Corpora and

variation in grammar by means of studying and exploiting corpora,

sociolinguistics and corpus linguistics. We invite abstracts concerned
with (one or several of) the following aspects:
 - Contributions centered on areal or social variation of grammar.
 - Contributions dealing with grammatical variation in nonstandard
language corpora.
 - Methodological contributions on exploiting corpora to investigate
grammatical variation from a social or areal perspective.
 - Contributions dealing with theoretical advancements in capturing
and modelling areal and social variation in grammar by means of
corpora.
