Dear Colleagues,
This message announces
ICEHD 1
1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGLISH HISTORICAL DIALECTOLOGY
(Bergamo, Italy, 4-6 September 2003)
the programme for which is nearly ready.
The aim of the Conference is to bring together scholars working on
geo-historical variation in English. To this end, invited lectures and
workshops are organized in such a way that change in the development of
varieties may be discussed from different perspectives simultaneously: not
only diachronic and diatopic, but also diastratic (that is, how variation
in time and place was in fact also influenced by the social milieu of
speakers/writers and their interlocutors). Methodological issues are also
expected to be highlighted and may include those developed for the study of
historical vernaculars other than English. A provisional programme is
expected to be made available in the Conference website
<http://www.unibg.it/anglistica/slin/ehd1-home.html> by June 2003.
Details concerning travel, accommodation, social programme and registration
are also available in the conference website.
There is no conference fee, but participants are expected to return the
registration form available in the Conference website by 15th June 2003.
Keynote speakers: Michael Benskin (Oslo) and Roger Lass (Cape Town).
Scientific Committee: Michael Benskin, Markku Filppula, Margaret Laing,
Anneli Meurman-Solin, Keith Williamson; Maurizio Gotti, Richard Dury and
