Academic blog dedicated to the issue of language variation addressed from a comparative perspective

Speech and language knowledge supports a growing number of strategic domains such as Human Language Technologies (HLT), Language Learning (LL), and Clinical Linguistics (CL). A crucial issue to these domains is language variation, which can result from dysfunction, proficiency, dialectal specificities, communicative contexts or even inter-individual differences. Variation is often an important part of the question itself. This project seizes this international opportunity to place variation at the center of the debate.
