It will be hosted by the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, the University of Durham, University of Northumbria, and the University of Sunderland. The Sociolinguistics Symposia began in the 1970s by a group of UK-based sociolinguists who saw the need for a fairly informal forum to discuss research findings and to debate theoretical and methodological issues concerning language in society. It has since grown into a large, international conference, typically attracting 400-500 participants. Normally, it takes place once every two years in a UK university but sometimes in continental Europe too. In 1986, the University of Newcastle upon Tyne hosted the 6th Sociolinguistics Symposium. We are very pleased that it will return in 2004. Themes: Culture, Contact, and Change Proposals that address the themes of the conference (Culture, Contact, and Change) are especially welcome; however, the organisers welcome papers on any aspect of sociolinguistics. We are currently accepting proposals for thematic panels (workshops and colloquia), papers, and posters. Keynote Speakers: Peter Auer (University of Freiburg) Jenny Cheshire (Queen Mary, University of London) Jane Hill (University of Arizona) Lesley Milroy (University of Michigan) Shana Poplack (University of Ottawa) Deadlines: Deadline for thematic panel proposals (workshops and colloquia) has been EXTENDED until 2nd March 2003. Deadline for poster and paper proposals: 1st April 2003.
