New Ways of Analysing Variation
Asia Pacific 8 / SINGAPORE

 

4 to 7 August 2025

The theme for NWAV-AP 8 is “Asia Pacific: Always Variable, Always Changing”. This is a celebration of the linguistic diversity and constant evolution of the languages of the multilingual-multicultural Asia Pacific contexts. In this 8th meeting, we would like to bring the focus to issues of diversity and inclusivity in the larger context of interactionism, wherein lies the intricate symbiotic relationship of individual and community social behaviours and meaning-making.

We particularly invite submissions on language variation and change that align with the theme of the conference, and welcome work from all areas of variationist inquiry focused on the Asia Pacific contexts.
