Conference Theme: “Rethinking Our Assumptions”
UBC will be hosting the 19th “Methods” conference from Aug 4 – 7, 2026
Methods in Dialectology and Language Diversity is a triennial conference that traditionally alternates between Canada and Europe. Originally a forum for the discussion of methodological issues in dialect research, Methods conferences have progressively extended their topical range and now include the whole spectrum of regional, historical, and social language variation, which is reflected in the addition of “Language Diversity”. The Methods series welcomes contributions investigating any of the world’s languages.
Special Session proposal deadline: 31 October 2025 (results communicated by 20 Nov. 2025)
