New Ways of Analyzing Variation Linguistics Conference

 
Florida International University and the University of Miami are pleased to host the 52nd annual meeting of New Ways of Analyzing Variation (NWAV) originated at Geoargetown University in October of 1972 as a site for the young field of socioloinguistics to explore the study of language change in progress, language variation, and the complex relationship between language and society. In the past half century, the conference has grown alongside the field, expanding in scope and reach, becoming one of the premier meetings of socially oriented linguists in the world. While the first meeting was named "New Ways of Analyzing Variation in English," (NWAVE) the "E" was quickly dropped as the conference broadened its focus to include a range of languages. For the first time in its history, scientific papers can be delivered in languages other than English at NWAV 52 in Miami.
