Meeting Description:

The Sociolinguistics Laboratory at Nanjing University and The Association of
Chinese Sociolinguistics are jointly organizing the Third Urban Language Survey
Seminar to be held on 25-27 June 2005.

Scholars involved with any of the following research areas are welcome to
participate:
-Language issues in rapid urbanization.
-Language survey methodology
-Speech community theory
-Language and identity issues in the urban contexts
-Urban dialectology
Rapid and large-scale urbanization characterizes many regions of the world today
and it brings language issues in communication, cultural identity, and social
organization. Original research addressing these issues is especially needed and
is welcome for presentations at the seminar. Other research in linguistics and
sociolinguistics, such as impact of urbanization on rural dialects, dialect
contact and dialect-levelling, etc., will also be welcome.
