The Sociolinguistics Circle is a group of Dutch and Flemish sociolinguists whose main purpose is to organise an annual conference day. On this day we want to inform each other and everyone else who is interested in sociolinguistic research on recent results and work in progress.

This year it will be hosted by Utrecht University. A wide range of topics will be presented in 15 papers and 8 posters. The main speaker of this Sociallinguistics Circle will be Isabelle Leglise of the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (Parijs).

We are looking forward to welcoming you on April 5 in Utrecht!

Scientific mission of LOT

The aim of LOT is to create a scientific community in which this research can be optimally pursued, and to educate the next generation of researchers with an open mind toward new disciplinary and interdisciplinary developments, theoretical and methodological alternatives, and possible applications.

LOT stimulates new initiatives and developments in research, and provides a national forum to further communication between the participating institutes with a view to short- and long-term collaboration.

LOT School Series

LOT was officially established in June 1994 by the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences. The LOT school series soon acquired an international reputation as a result of inviting well-known linguists to teach at the schools.

The research by the LOT institutes covers all major areas of linguistics, and exploits a wide range of methodological tools and theoretical frameworks.
