DiaClas<\/strong>
Dialect classification – past, present and future<\/strong>
Ljubljana, April 23-25, 2025<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

About the Conference<\/strong><\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DiaClas invites submissions for paper and poster presentations focusing on methods and techniques for dialect classifications and on the future of dialect classifications in the study of dialectology and language variation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symposium is linked to the DIACLEU project (Dialect Classifications of Languages in Europe, diacl.eu<\/a>), that aims to publish a complete, state-of-the-art, and historical overview of dialect classifications of the endogenous languages spoken in Europe. DIACLEU collects all the classifications published until now for these languages and makes them accessible for an international audience in the open access journal Dialectologia<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DiaClas will take place 23-25 April 2025 in Ljubljana (Slovenia). It will be hosted by ZRC SAZU (Research Centre of the Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts) – Fran Ramov\u0161 Institute of the Slovenian Language, and is co-organized by Fryske Akademy and Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The final conference day, Friday 25 April, will host the 5th Slovenian dialectology conference (SDP 5), dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the first geolinguistic study of the Slovenian language (Tesni\u00e8re 1925). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The symposium has a double perspective:  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) looking back: critical analyses of past and present dialect classifications; <\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) looking forward: discussing principles, methods and techniques of future classifications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The papers can focus on both linguistic (e.g., usage-based vs. system-based, theoretical frameworks) and quantitative (e.g., sampling, statistical techniques, hierarchization of boundaries) aspects and their combination (e.g., weight of linguistic features, requirements for definition as a dialect). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are pleased to announce that our plenary speakers will be Alfred Lameli<\/a>, Philipps-Universit\u00e4t Marburg and Danguol\u0117 Mikul\u0117nien\u0117<\/a>, Institute of the Lithuanian Language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also invite scientists involved with technologies or methodologies outside linguistics that can be applied to the investigation of dialect classification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be an in-person only symposium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
