For the next planned meeting in 2011 it seems desirable that the focused discussion on individual projects should occur within the framework of this bigger international event with a longer scientific tradition. In this way participants will have the opportunity to present findings to and get feedback from a wider range of delegates. Call For Papers Papers are expected to concentrate on methodological issues, data and scientific research questions centred on English and European Dialectology in a historical perspective - ranging from the 11th to the 19th century. Special attention to sociolinguistic variation in time is welcome. The publication of the proceedings is envisaged in an independent volume.
