Alemann:innentagung

Dear colleagues

From September 9-11, 2024, we would like to invite you to the 21st Alemannic Dialectology Conference (Alemann:innentagung) in Bern. After the successful conference in Chur (Graubünden) in 2022, we are delighted that this traditional event will once again take place here in Switzerland.
and we hope to be able to welcome you all to the beautiful federal city on behalf of the Institute of German Studies and the CSLS (Center for the Study of Language and Society) of the University of Bern.

Guiding theme- In the field of tension between linguistic stability and social dynamics

The 21st Alemann:innentagung will take place under the guiding theme "In the field of tension between linguistic stability and social dynamics". With this deliberately broad topic, we would like to focus on sociolinguistic aspects of variation, stability and change in the Alemannic language area. In addition, the Alemann:innentagung naturally also offers space for contributions on all areas of Alemannic dialectology. We are delighted that Luise Kempf (University of Bern), Noemi Adam-Graf (Institut für Kulturforschung Graubünden) and Simon Pröll (Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg) have already confirmed their participation as plenary speakers.

The planned forms of presentation are lectures (20+10 minutes) and posters. We are also planning to publish selected contributions in an anthology.

We are now accepting your submissions for presentations or posters (abstracts max. 300 words without title and bibliography) via ConfTool until 15 March 2024. Please use the template provided on the conference homepage: www.alemanninnentagung2024.ch. The submitted abstracts are subject to a subsequent anonymous review. You will be informed of the decision on acceptance or rejection by the end of April 2024.
