The conference builds on an extensive international research network (see www.dipvac.org) and a track record of profiling the latest research in discourse-pragmatic variation and change in a wide variety of languages. It also provides a forum for the discussion of methodological, empirical and theoretical advancements in the analysis of variation and change in the use of discourse-pragmatic features; opportunities for the examination of the social implications and applications of research into the use of these features; and the formation of new international and multidisciplinary research networks. Abstracts are welcomed for oral presentations which take a quantitative approach to data analysis and deal with diverse aspects of discourse-pragmatic variation and change in any language or variety. This is the first time the conference will take place in the Asia-Pacific region; and as such, research on the following is particularly encouraged: discourse-pragmatic variation and change in contexts of language contact; patterns of discourse-pragmatic variation and change in minority and/or under-described languages;the acquisition of discourse-pragmatic variation by second language learners and bilingual speakers. Presentations will be in English, and will be 20 minutes long, followed by a 10-minute question period. This is a single-session conference (i.e., there are no parallel sessions). We welcome papers dealing with, but not restricted to, the following topics: <ul style="margin-bottom:0cm"> <li style="margin-left:15px">sociolinguistic patterns of discourse-pragmatic variation and change;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">discourse-pragmatic variation and change in contexts of language contact;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">quantitative studies addressing the grammaticalization of discourse-pragmatic features;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">contrastive/cross-linguistic studies of discourse-pragmatic variation and change;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">methods in the quantitative analysis of discourse-pragmatic features;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">social and geographical diffusion patterns of innovative discourse features;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">discourse-pragmatic features in the construction and negotiation of social identities;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">acquisition of discourse-pragmatic variation by children, L2 learners and bilingual speakers;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">discourse-pragmatic variation and change across the lifespan;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">socio-perceptual studies of discourse-pragmatic variation;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">discourse-pragmatic variation across interactional, situational and technological settings;</li><li style="margin-left:15px">implications and applications of discourse-pragmatic variation and change within and beyond linguistic theory.</li></ul> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Abstracts should be submitted to EasyChair (<a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__easychair.org_my_conference-3Fconf-3Ddipvac5&d=DwMF-g&c=nE__W8dFE-shTxStwXtp0A&r=QmhZA4PVAobB5LX6f20h_A&m=8ecCXIbrt50tOp_DvmmBYysGDJ8hqmmGPCJpzNNfJCc&s=ZP2tu7qvjhOfrcX8VnRDoWrbWVvg6uplzAkritOB-v0&e=" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:rgb(17,85,204)">https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=dipvac5</a>), be a maximum of 300 words in length (excluding title and references), and be single-spaced and in 12-point font.
