NWAV 49 (Sociolinguistics conference)

NWAV is the biggest variationist sociolinguistics conference. 

It's coming up, virtually, Oct. 19-24. You can already check out the program at https://www.nwav49.org/

Many UofT students are presenting: Abram, Justin, Kaleigh, Katharina, Lauren, Lisa Schlegl, Pocholo and Vidhya plus Derek, Marisa, Jeremy, Naomi and Sali. You can preview some of these talks at LVC Group on Friday, Oct. 1 at 10am. Ask Kaleigh for the Zoom link. 

NWAV is offering a "group registration" at a reduced rate for classes this year. Please let Naomi (or your sociolinguistics instructor) know if you'd be interested, ASAP. The amount of the reduction depends on how many of you register. Full student rate before Oct. 5 is $32. 

How the conference works this year: Talks will all be pre-recorded by Oct. 10 (and posters by Oct. 18), for you to watch at your leisure (if registered). Then there will be discussion only during the conference days, 9-1 Texas time, so 10-2 in Toronto.

Hope to see many of you there!
