The Meertens Instituut (Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences) and chair Languageculture in Limburg at Maastricht University is organising the 2nd ‘Sociolinguistics Belonging’ workshop. Two ‘new’ Sociolinguistic professors in the Netherlands (Janet Fuller, RUG and Marina Terkourafi, University Leiden) work on the topic of belonging and we look forward to exchanging ideas and results.
Date: 5 October. Location: Meertens Instituut, Amsterdam.
The Meertens/UM Languagecultural team is a continuation and broadening of the PhDs’ networks, and it scopes wider than just linguistic variation, it also includes language practices, and language ideologies and we are very much interested in and inspired by other disciplinary perspectives – such as anthropology and sociology. We especially like to generate ideas among presenters and audience.
