Welcome to UKLVC15
September 2025, Lancaster
Organised by Lancaster University & The University of Central Lancashire
UKLVC is a biennial conference that showcases international research on language variation and change, sociolinguistics, and dialectology, as well as applications of these branches of linguistics to a variety of different fields. We seek to foster diversity in theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of language variation in all of its forms and across a wide range of linguistic and cultural contexts.
We welcome research on spoken and sign languages. The languages of the conference will be English and British Sign Language (BSL).
For any questions about accessibility at the conference, please contact the organising committee at the earliest opportunity via the conference email address.
