Workshop organisers

This workshop is organized with the financial support of the Leverhulme Trust, as part of a Leverhulme Early Career Research Fellowship, held by Olivia Walsh at the University of Nottingham for her project “A History of Language Purism in France and Quebec”.

The workshop is also receiving financial support from the AHRC-funded MEITS project (Multilingualism: Empowering Individuals, Transforming Societies).

Is this for you?

This is a workshop and networking event for Early Career Researchers on the influence of standard language ideology on non-standard language(s).

The workshop aims to provide an investigation into how attitudes towards standard languages interact with, and influence, attitudes towards other language varieties or usages, in order to trace commonalities and differences. The question will be examined from both a current-day and a historical perspective.
