Invitation for papers
see below
We are happy to invite network members and associates of N'CLAV (Nordic Collaboration on Language Variation studies) to take part in the 2nd N'CLAV Grand Meeting at Gottskär, outside of Göteborg.  The programme will include: 



  • invited talks by Leonie Cornips (Amsterdam), Bert Vaux (Cambridge), Camilla Wide (Turku), Anders Eriksson (Gothenburg).
  • scientific papers by  senior and junior members 
  • a theme session on "Meetings", see below
  • status reports from projects




THEME
The theme of the conference will be  "Meetings" in a very broad sense: meetings between theories, between linguistic varieties, between people and so forth. Otherwise the grand meeting open to all kinds of talk in theoretical, descriptive and applied linguistics focussing on different kinds of variation across the Nordic languages.
FUNDING
Two participants from each N'CLAV node will be sponsored by the network, but the meeting is also open for participants with their own funding. We have applied for additional funds and hope to be able to contribute to travel and/or accommodation costs for more participants. 




INVITATION FOR PAPERS
We invite everyone who is interested in participating to send in an abstract describing the work to be presented, see below.
Abstracts (one A4 page + references) are invited by 28 March 2011. Please submit your abstract to the conference e-mail (above) as a pdf  or  plain text file. The abstracts are NOT to be anonymous.  

A preliminary programme will be sent out around 15 April 2011.  

N'CLAV especially encourages young researchers (i.e. PhD/MA students and postdocs) to send in abstracts.






Welcome to Gothenburg and Gottskär!
