There were two distinct themes which emerged from this conference: those papers which dealt primarily with Discourse and Pragmatics are published in this volume; those papers which have as their major concern psycholinguistic issues are published in Variation in Second Language Acquisition Volume II: Psycholinguistic Issues, also published by Multilingual Matters. The purpose of the conference was to bring together scholars from two related areas of research. In particular, it was our goal to create a dialogue between sociolinguists and second language acquisition researchers in an attempt to understand precisely where their areas of concerns intersect and how those shared concerns contribute in a broader perspective to the issue of language variation. The conference succeeded in bringing together scholars from North America, Asia, Eastern Europe and Western Europe, representing a wide range of geographical and academic backgrounds. As usual in such a large undertaking, there are many people to thank. The University of Michigan, continuing its commitment over the years to language teaching and learning, provided through a number of resources the principal funding and the setting for this endeavour. The English Language Institute and its Director, Professor John Swales, gave the essential financial and logistic support. The Interdisciplinary Program in Linguistics, the English Composition Board, The Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures and the Rackham School of Graduate Studies also provided financial support as did the Polish Exchange programme of Eastern Michigan University and the English Language Center of Michigan State University. Many colleagues, students and staff helped with the running of the conference, and we are grateful to them as well. < previous page page_vii next page > < previous page page_1 next page > Page 1 SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION < previous page page_1 next page > < previous page page_1 next page > Page 1 SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION < previous page page_1 next page >
