27 July – 3 August, 2014
University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway.

This is the eight summer school organized by the Historical Sociolinguistics Network (HiSoN) and it will offer classes by leading experts on modern and historical sociolinguistics. The venue is the University of Agder, Kristiansand, Norway. Classes will take place in the morning and afternoon and you will have the opportunity to present your own research at a special session.

The summer school is co-sponsored by the Norwegian Graduate Researcher School in Linguistics and Philology (http://www.ntnu.edu/lingphil)”.

Our teachers in 2014 will be

• Peter Trudgill (UiA)
• Dennis Preston (Oklahoma)
• Ana Deumert (Cape Town)
• Lars-Gunnar Anderson (Gøteborg)
• Agnieszka Kielkiewicz-Janowiak (Poznan)
• Rik Vosters (Brussels)
• Jan K. Hognestad (Stavanger)

Each course will explore its particular topic with an application to research questions and methods from the field of historical sociolinguistics

The school will last for one week and will cost €300, which includes accommodation, lunch and dinner every day, tuition, and an excursion. We would like to point out that we’re not making a profit from this and neither organizers nor teachers get a fee for their work.
