Description:

The main goal of the 25th international scientific conference “Variation across Languages and their Varieties” is to bring together international academic community interested in various aspects of variation in languages and their varieties and provide the opportunity for scholars representing different schools and approaches to exchange ideas, expertise and knowledge in any area of variation. Jonas Jablonskis's works are especially significant for the Lithuanian language, as well as for the entire Lithuanian nation. Therefore, it is symbolic that the latest conference named after this linguist celebrates the 25th anniversary in the year of the 100th anniversary of the restoration of Lithuanian statehood. Since Jonas Jablonskis's works cover almost all areas of the language, the conference will focus on the problems of variation in old writings, dialects and standard language, as well as will attempt at revealing cultural aspects of different varieties. The conference will include four sections dealing with variation issues on various levels: - Standard language (phonetics, accentology, lexis, grammar, syntax, stylistic, social variation, codification significance and variety of uses) - Dialectology (variation of lexical units, grammatical forms or syntactic structures in dialects) - Ethnolinguistics (cultural aspects of variation) - Texts of Old Languages (diachronic lexicology and lexicography, word usage, variation and distribution in old writings) Conference languages: English, Latvian, Lithuanian, Polish and Russian. Presentations: 20 minutes. Abstracts: - Anonymous abstracts should be sent to the conference organisers (gintare.judzentytegmail.com) by July 1, 2018 (abstracts should not exceed 500 words). - The abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific committee and the notification will be given on 1 August, 2018.

VARIATION ACROSS LANGUAGES AND THEIR VARIETIES will be held in Vilnius,Lithuania on date 2018-09-28
