Ce colloque bisannuel offre aux chercheuses et chercheurs, professeures et professeurs qui s’intéressent aux variétés de français et à la francophonie nord-américaine une occasion de partager leurs travaux et leurs réflexions en la matière, quelles que soient les approches théoriques et méthodologiques mobilisées par leurs recherches. Il est aussi prévu des présentations étudiantes avec un prix (à la fois symbolique et pécunier) décerné à la meilleure présentation évaluée par un jury de chercheuses et chercheurs aguerri(es).

Diverse cultures, languages, worldviews, and human experiences characterize the world that we live in. Diversities reflect the multitude of domains related to us and our lives, such as language, culture, gender, ethnicity, and age. Diversity is a lens through which we gain insights into the various perspectives and experiences that shape us and our world. By acknowledging and studying diversities in interaction, we open our research and ourselves to a wealth of knowledge that broadens our understanding of ourselves and the world around us and creates positive social change. Thus, diversity is a force fueling innovation and progress. The theme of ICCA2026—Diversities, Language, Interaction—highlights the multiplicity of diversities and brings a diversity lens to our research on language and interaction.

Diversities, Language, Interaction

Methods in Dialectology and Language Diversity is a traditionally triennial conference that originated in Canada as a forum for discussing methodological issues in dialect research. Methods conferences have progressively extended their topical range and now include the whole spectrum of regional, historical, and social language variation, as reflected in the now expanded conference name. The Methods series welcomes contributions investigating any of the world’s languages.
