Historical Sociolinguistics Network Conference 2025Info Location Attendee Categories Additional Items Event Information
DescriptionIn 2005, Nils Langer, Stephan Elspaß, Joachim Scharloth, and Wim Vandenbussche organised a conference on Language History from Below: Linguistic Variation in the Germanic Languages from 1700–2000 at the University of Bristol, which led to the foundation of the Historical Sociolinguistic Network. Since then, research in historical sociolinguistics has flourished and the network has grown beyond its Germanic roots. At the 20-year anniversary edition of the Historical Sociolinguistics Network Conference, we will return to and build on the study of language history ‘from below’ by looking at current trends in historical sociolinguistic research, such as the study of historical multilingualism and research on linguistic impacts of colonialism, to identify future directions of the field.
