Copenhagen Winter School in Sociolinguistics, University of Copenhagen, Denmark, 11-15 March 2024. Deadline: 1 December 2023.
The LANCHART Centre and the Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics at the University of Copenhagen once again invite applicants for a PhD winter school in sociolinguistics. The winter school will take place from 9:00 to 17:00 from the 11th to the 15th of March 2024 at the University of Copenhagen.
Invited guest teachers: David Britain (Universität Bern), Alexandra Georgakopoulou (King’s College London), David Karlander (Uppsala University and The Swedish Collegium for Advanced Study); Local teachers: Andreas Candefors Stæhr, Pia Quist, Janus Spindler Møller, and Malene Monka (University of Copenhagen).
The overall theme for the course is sociolinguistics understood broadly, and the participants will gain insights into different research fields within contemporary sociolinguistics. Focus is on newer developments, and instructors will address themes and questions raised within the study of language, variation and indexicality as well as discourse oriented studies of language, diversity and social media. These issues will be discussed both from a theoretical and an empirical perspective.
All participants should prepare a 20-minute presentation of their project with a special focus on themes that they would like to have discussed as part of the course. This could be for instance theoretical or methodological issues, or it could be ongoing analyses that would benefit from a discussion. The idea is for all participants to get an opportunity to have their projects discussed, and to get comments from both teachers and other participants.
