The aim of this workshop is to bring together two traditionally distinct lines of research related to the study of variation in language use, one being concerned with social factors and the other one dealing with individual cognitive mechanisms. In this context, theoretical approaches and empirical results on the interplay of both sets of factors are of particular interest, e.g., the social modulation of cognitive processing in linguistic interaction, or the individual mediation of societal influences on language use.
The workshop is intended as a small-scale 2-day meeting that brings together experienced and novice colleagues from different countries.
Confirmed guest speakers:
Holly Branigan (University of Edinburgh)
Morten H. Christiansen (Cornell University)
Dirk Geeraerts (Universiteit Leuven)

We are looking forward to your paper submissions (in form of abstract of 300-500 words), ideally by the end of July 2011. Late proposals will also be considered.
Papers which address issues of language variation and change from a sociolinguistic and/or psycholinguistic perspective are especially welcome.
If you are interested in a participation without contribution you are also invited to contact us.
