Meeting Description:

International Conference on Language Variation in Europe Call for
workshop proposals

During the ICLaVE 3 Conference, which will take place in Amsterdam
June 23-25, 2005, there is room for five workshops on the interaction
between linguistic and extra-linguistic aspects of language variation.

The workshop should be thematically coherent. We have already fixed
three broad subject areas: (i) Syntactic Variation, (ii) Phonological
variation and (iii) The Relation between code switching and language
variation. The subject areas of the remaining two workshops are still
open.

We invite proposals for workshops dealing with specific questions
related to one of the above or other subject areas that is clearly
connected to the overall theme of the conference, viz. ''any aspect of
linguistic variation observed in Europe''. In addition to this open
call for workshop proposals we will directly invite some scholars to
submit a proposal.

There will be one workshop with room for four thirty minutes slots and
four workshops with five thirty minutes slots. The workshop organizers
are free to invite speakers and/or to send out an open call for
papers.

The proposal should contain specification of the workshop theme,
invited speakers (if applicable), text of the call for papers (if
applicable) and a description of the relevance of the workshop with
respect to the general theme of ICLAVE. Please send both an anonymous
version and a version containing name(s), affiliation(s) etc.

Selection procedure
The workshop proposals - max. two pages - will be selected by the
local organizers and the scientific committee. The deadline to submit
a proposal is March 15, 2004. Notification of acceptance: April 15,
2004.

The workshop proposal should be send as PDF-file or WORD-file to:
iclave3meertens.knaw.nl
