DiPVaC is a biennial international conference series showcasing cutting-edge, primarily quantitative research on variation and change in what are broadly termed discourse-pragmatic features: this includes (but is not limited to) research on discourse markers or pragmatic particles whose primary functions are interpersonal and textual (e.g., well, like, you know, comme, alors, doch, zwar, diciamo, dakedo, etc.), tag questions, silence, filled pauses, adjectives, adverbs, and general extenders. The conference builds on an extensive international research network with 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.
