Second Call for Papers LADEL 2017
We are pleased to announce the 2nd Call for Papers for the First Symposium on Linguistic Approaches to Dialects in English Literature (1500-1950) (LADEL) which will be held at the University of Salamanca on 26th-27th October 2017.
Proposals must be submitted by 15th April 2017 as anonymous Word or pdf documents via EasyAbs at: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/ladel17. In case your proposal contains any special characters, do please send your abstract as a .pdf document.
Notification of acceptance will be sent out by 20th May 2017.
This is one of the academic activities that have been scheduled to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the Department of English Philology, the first to offer a degree in Anglo-American Studies in Spain. The Symposium aims to bring together international scholars so that they can discuss different linguistic approaches to the literary representation of older varieties of English (in Britain and overseas), a field which has received renewed scholarly attention over the past few years. We expect that the Symposium may serve as a forum for linguists working in this particular subdiscipline so that they can meet, exchange and learn about other methods and approaches that might actually inform their current work.
The following plenary speakers have already confirmed their participation:
- Prof. Joan C. Beal (University of Sheffield): “The chicken or the egg: Dialect in Literature as Evidence for Historical Enregisterment”
- Prof. Marina Dossena (Università degli studi di Bergamo): “Peaceful co-existence? Ideology in the Representation of Languages and Varieties in Late Modern Literature”
We welcome proposals for papers (20-minute presentation + 10-minute discussion) that deal with, but are not restricted to, the following list of topics and approaches:
- Dialects, literature and spelling;
- Dialects, literature and phonology;
- Dialects, literature and morphosyntax;
- Dialects, literature and lexis;
- Dialects, literature and enregisterment;
- Dialects, literature and lexicography;
- Dialects, literature and historical (socio-)stylistics;
- Dialects, literature and corpus compilation.
We particularly encourage papers based on The Salamanca Corpus: A Digital Archive of English Dialect Texts.
We look forward to seeing you in Salamanca!
