Meeting Description:

Methods in Dialectology is a triennial conference that traditionally alternates between Canada and Europe. Originally a forum for the discussion of methodological issues in dialect research, Methods conferences have progressively extended their topical range and now include the whole spectrum of regional, historical, and social language variation. The Methods series welcomes contributions investigating any of the world’s languages.

The theme for Methods XVII is (Dia)Lects in the 21st Century.

We are delighted to announce that the following colleagues are still on board and will give a plenary at Methods XVII:
- Jenny Cheshire (Queen Mary, London)
- Karen Corrigan (Newcastle)
- Damaris Nübling (Mainz)
- Sali Tagliamonte (Toronto)

Final Call for Proposals:

Call for special session proposals (due September 30, 2021)

At this time, we invite special session proposals for Methods XVII, which will be held throughout the conference.

Special sessions may either be concerned with particular methodological instruments, technological innovations or special themes, or they may have a particular focus on a language group or a specific topic.
Each proposal should include an overview of the topic and its importance, in no more than 500 words. The proposal should also state the relevance of the special session to Methods XVII.

If you are interested in organising a special session, please submit your proposal with a complete list of speakers and all abstracts (4-8 slots available per special session, 2-4 hours in total) by September 30, 2021. Potential organisers of special sessions are responsible for calls and peer-review prior to submission of the proposal to Methods XVII.

The submission system is now open at https://www.umfrageonline.com/s/methodsviispecialsessionsubmission.
Submission for special sessions is possible between September 1 and September 30, 2021.
Notifications of acceptance (special sessions) will be sent out by the end of November 2021.

Looking forward to receiving your submissions –
Susanne Wagner (on behalf of the local organisers)

Please note: A separate call will follow for abstract submissions for papers and posters (due Dec. 15, 2021). Please monitor the conference website at https://methodsxvii.uni-mainz.de.
