addressing any aspect of linguistic variation observed in languages
spoken in present-day Europe. The idea of setting up this conference
originated in the Coordination Committee of the European Science
Foundation Network on the Convergence and Divergence of Dialects in a
Changing Europe, funded from 1995 to 1998

variation. The first ICLaVE will take place in Barcelona June 29 - 30/
