The Sociolinguistics Circle aims at bringing together students and researchers of language variation, sociolinguistics and social dynamics of language with a connection to the Low Countries. The initiative organizes conferences and meetings about sociolinguistics.
The first of these was hosted by the University of Groningen in March 2014. The next edition will be hosted by Tilburg University, and will take place on 31 March 2017. For this fourth edition, we also invite BA and MA students to submit their work for (poster) presentation.
