Welcome to Methods XIX!
19th Methods in Dialectology and Language Diversity International Conference
Conference Theme: “Rethinking Our Assumptions”
UBC will be hosting the 19th “Methods” conference from Aug 4 – 8, 2026 (Aug 8: conference trips only)
Methods in Dialectology and Language Diversity is a triennial conference that traditionally alternates between Canada and Europe. Originally a forum for the discussion of methodological issues in dialect research, Methods conferences have progressively extended their topical range and now include the whole spectrum of regional, historical, and social language variation, which is reflected in the addition of “Language Diversity”. The Methods series welcomes contributions investigating any of the world’s languages.
The conference series website is https://www.methods.uni-mainz.de, where links can be found to previous conferences (Melbourne 2024, Mainz 2022, Tachikawa 2017)
