The purpose of this conference is to bring together scholars to share original sociolinguistic research that analyzes Spanish data or data from contact situations between Spanish and other languages. We invite abstracts for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for discussion) on any aspect of sociolinguistic research. In particular, we look forward to receiving studies dealing with synchronic and diachronic approaches to language variation and change, contact linguistics, bilingualism, Spanish in the US and pidgin & creole languages. Papers and presentations can be delivered in Spanish or English.
