The deadline for abstract submissions has now been closed.

 

The 6th meeting of the New Ways of Analyzing Variation – Asia Pacific conference invites submissions of abstracts for papers to be delivered virtually in an online conference to be held on 17-20 February, 2021. 

NWAV-AP is a unique venue for sharing research on language variation and change in an Asia-Pacific context. The theme of this year’s conference is “Asia on the move”; we welcome papers that speak to this theme, including studies of language variation and change in relation to transnational migration, urbanization and development, language contact, and language revitalization. As in previous years, NWAV-AP particularly aims to highlight new variationist research on the indigenous languages and contact varieties of the region.
