Meeting Description:

UKLVC is a biennial conference that showcases international research on language variation and change, sociolinguistics, and dialectology, as well as applications of these branches of linguistics to a variety of different fields. We seek to foster diversity in theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of language variation in all of its forms and across a wide range of linguistic and cultural contexts.

We welcome research on spoken and sign languages. The languages of the conference will be English and British Sign Language (BSL). Our keynote presenters will be Gabrielle Hodge, University of Edinburgh; Christian Ilbury, University of Edinburgh; Sophie Meekings, University of York.

We have now extended the deadline for abstracts until 28th March 2025. For more information, please visit the conference website.
