New Ways of Analyzing Variation
New Ways of Analyzing Variation (NWAV) is an annual academic conference in sociolinguistics. NWAV attracts researchers and students conducting linguistic scientific investigations into patterns of language variation, the study of language change in progress, and the interrelationship between language and society, including how language variation is shaped by and continually shape societal institutions, social and interpersonal relationships, and individual and group identities. In 2011, the 40th New Ways of Analyzing Variation (NWAV 40) conference celebrated the special anniversary at its birthplace, Georgetown University. Most recently, NWAV 46 was held at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Madison, Wisconsin, November 2–5, 2017; in 2018, NWAV 47 will be held at New York University.
