Meeting Description:
'Accents' is an annual conference organized by the Department of English Grammar and Phonetics at the University of Łódź, Poland. It brings together researchers and teachers interested in native and non-native accents of English approached from a theoretical and practical perspective. Among many issues discussed each year, the characteristics and the dynamism of accent usage in natural as well as formal teaching contexts come into the foreground, with a growing interest in the methodology and tools for accent studies. The main focus so far has been on accents of English; this year, while continuing to discuss accents from the sociophonetic, psychophonetic and didactic perspectives, we propose to widen the scope of our discussion to include the effects of accent contact not only on English, but also other languages, with the leading theme of 'Accents in Contact'.
Keynote speaker: James E. Flege, University of Birmingham, Alabama, USA
Special session: English accents in Europe: Euro-English(s)?
Convenor: Una Cunningham, University of Stockholm, Sweden
Call for Papers:
We invite proposals for papers, workshops and posters related to the main 'Accents in Contact' theme as well as other issues related to native and non-native accents of English, including, but not limited to the ones mentioned below:
- The effect of other languages on the acquisition and usage of English
- The effect of English accents on the acquisition and usage of other languages
- Accents in English around the world, 'New Englishes', 'Euro-Englishes', etc.
- Variability in accents of English
- Native- non-native accent continuum
- Accents in EFL/ESL/ELF
- Methodology and tools for accent studies
- Teaching accents/the pronunciation of English
Please notice that each author can propose two contributions if one is intended for the main conference and the other one for a special session. Papers are given 20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for discussion, workshops will typically have 45 minute slots. Please specify the intended presentation format in your proposal.
The deadline for abstract submission is September 30, 2012. Please send two copies of an abstract of up to 400 words (excluding references) to accentsuni.lodz.pl, with the intended format, name and affiliation written under the title in one copy.
