The Sociolinguistics Symposium is the world’s main gathering of sociolinguists internationally. Started in 1976, the Sociolinguistics Symposium has grown into the largest sociolinguistics conference in the world. This biennial event provides a unique opportunity and forum to develop and exchange ideas and research findings about language and society in its manifold connections and manifestations.
Themed Ordinariness and Innovation: Linguistic Diversity and Disparity, this conference will place emphasis on the importance of understanding language from contrasting yet complementary aspects, exploring diversity and disparity as challenge and as opportunity.
