We are pleased to announce that the Sixteenth International Conference on Methods in Dialectology (METHODS XVI) will be held at NINJAL (National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics in Tokyo, from Monday to Friday, 7-11 August, 2017. Methods in Dialectology is a triennial conference that alternates between Canada and Europe. Methods XVI, by special arrangement, will be held at National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics (NINJAL), in Tokyo.

Conference Theme: Dialect Contact, Acquisition and Innovation

In recent years, dialectology has expanded its scope. Contact, acquisition and innovation have become major notions in dialectology. Methods XVI especially seeks presentations on these themes to complement the breadth and depth of contemporary studies that have been featured at Methods conferences since 1972.
