[Histling-l] On the spatial diffusion of linguistic changes. Workshop proposal for SLE 2023

[Andrés Enrique]

Workshop proposal for the SLE-2023: On the spatial diffusion of linguistic
changes: new methods and theoretical perspectives.

Andres Enrique-Arias (University of the Balearic Islands), Carlota de Benito
Moreno (University of Zurich), Florencio del Barrio de la Rosa (Ca’ Foscari
University of Venice)

As part of the 56th Annual Meeting of the Societas Linguistica Europaea (29
August – 1 September, Athens) we invite submissions with original research
that deals with the at the interplay between geographical variation and
diachrony:

*	Methodological approaches that allow for the simultaneous
examination of the spatial distribution of several variables (as opposed to
the isolated study of single variables).
*	Studies addressing clustered phenomena that might hint at joint
evolutions, or chain shifts.
*	Investigations that integrate the role of both physical and
political space through history.
*	Studies that aim to restore the balance between all levels of
analysis (including the lexical and discourse components), as opposed to
traditional approaches that privileged phonetic variables.
*	Methodological approaches that address the interplay between
register and geographical variation in the study of diachronic change.
*	Methodological approaches and visualization techniques that
integrate frequency of use in the study of geographical variation through
history, as opposed to categorical data (presence vs. absence of a variant).
*	Studies based on synchronic data (e.g. from online social networks)
that can shed light onto historical processes. 

Researchers interested in participating in the workshop are invited to send
a short provisional abstract of max. 300 words by 13 November 2022 to
spatialdiffusionSLE23 at gmail.com. By 20 November 2022 the workshop proposal
must be sent to the SLE organizing committee. Note that, after the
acceptance of the workshop as such, participants will still have to submit a
revised 500-word abstract according to the SLE guidelines to be reviewed
anonymously by 15 January 2023. For further information please refer to
