The 5th Variation and Language Processing Conference (VALP5) will be held at University of Copenhagen (Denmark) from 25-27 August 2021, after successful previous conferences in the UK, New Zealand, the United States and Australia.
Plenary speakers are:
Associate Professor of Sociolinguistics Kathryn Campbell-Kibler
Professor of Psycholinguistics Marianne Gullberg
Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience Peter Hagoort
The conference provides a venue for researchers coming from traditionally distinct fields, such as sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive science, experimental phonetics, syntax and pragmatics, who work on the relationship between linguistic variation, in its widest sense, and language processing. A main theme of this year’s conference will be the processing of linguistic and indexical variation by bi- and multilingual individuals, and we encourage submissions both within and beyond this theme.
Please visit the conference website for more information on how to attend the conference and how to submit an abstract: http://nors.ku.dk/english/calendar/2021/5th-variation-and-language-processing-conference/
COVID-19 precautions: Plans for both virtual and physical participation
We plan to host the conference at University of Copenhagen with a mix of physical and virtual participation.
Vaccination against COVID-19 has started in Denmark. According to estimations by the Danish Health Authority, the entire adult Danish population will be offered COVID-19 vaccine before the end of June 2021, i.e. two months before the VALP5 conference. In the light of this positive prospect, we plan for a conference with physical participation while also allowing for online attendance. We will of course continue to follow official guidelines on social distancing, hand hygiene and staying home when ill.
In case of continued travel restrictions for international participants, it will be possible to attend the conference virtually, so please do not hesitate to submit your abstract.
Abstract submission deadline
Abstracts should be maximum one page and no more than 500 words, excluding references, with all author information removed from the document. Abstracts will be anonymously reviewed and considered for both oral and poster presentations.
