Key objectives
- To unravel systematic patterns in linguistic variation within and across different types of languages, language users, and contexts of language use and emergence;
- To understand how different types of constraints interact to explain variation and commonalities in language;
- To integrate approaches to language variation from psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, theoreticallinguistic, evolutionary, and typological perspectives into a comprehensive account of language variation.
Events
Two meetings per month, which alternate between a workshop session and a presentation by an invited external or internal speaker.
