The Reading Group on LVC (Language Variation and Change) and Statistics is open to anyone at the university who is interested in quantitative methods and linguistic variation. We meet for an hour every other week to discuss recent and/or important articles in LVC, particularly with respect to statistical methods. Participants from Honours-level undergraduates and higher are welcome, although it is expected that all group members will be engaged in their own empirical research projects.

Feel free to get in touch if you would like to come.
