New Ways of Analyzing Variation 45
Pachan̓tsut | Spreading Roots | November 3–6, 2016
Vancouver sits in the heart of the Pacific Northwest rainforest, founded on the traditional territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations. From its establishment, and especially over the last two decades, Vancouver has grown by embracing immigrants from a wide range of countries, who formed vibrant communities of their own. Like the plants of the rainforest that surrounds them, Vancouver’s communities remain strong by spreading their roots in the sociolinguistic ecosystem of the city.
In the process, they come into contact, collaborate, compete, and give shape to a region that is the site of rich cultural and linguistic variation, historically and currently. Co-hosted by Simon Fraser University and the University of Victoria, NWAV 45 highlighted the ways in which communities and individuals shape their identities through language variation and change.
