Meeting Description:
In 2006 we shall be celebrating two important events in which English Language
studies at Manchester has been centrally involved: the journal English Language
and Linguistics will have completed ten increasingly successful years, and a new
one-volume History of the English Language will be published.
In order to celebrate this double event we are holding a three-day conference
entitled Directions in English Language Studies (DELS) which is intended to
focus on current and, especially, future directions in English Language
research, both synchronic and diachronic.
The following distinguished scholars have all agreed to present plenary papers:
Joan Bresnan, Christian Mair, John McWhorter, Donka Minkova, Terttu Nevalainen
and Geoff Pullum.
Abstracts are now invited for shorter papers (20 minutes + 10 discussion),
submission deadline 31 October 2005, details of submission procedure to follow.
Any aspect of English Language studies, synchronic and/or diachronic, may be
covered, but preference will be given to those with something to say about
current directions in research or which indicate new directions.
We look forward to an exciting programme and to meeting both old and new friends
here in Manchester. For further details of the conference, please bookmark
