The fifth meeting of Language Variety in the South (LAVIS V), held once per decade, builds on and extends the academic foundation of the previous four LAVIS meetings, which have brought together prominent linguists and researchers in the United States for a thematic symposium to examine issues of language variation and change in the US South. Past LAVIS conferences have focused on the role of African American English, and on language variation and central questions about sociolinguistic methodologies, analysis, description, and application of sociolinguistic data in the regional context of the American South. More recently, and especially in LAVIS V, a greater variety of ethnic groups is considered. This meeting continues and expands upon this tradition by exploring language in the "Changing South," a region that has undergone dramatic demographic, social, and cultural change in the past half-century. This conference and the resultant publication raise awareness (both inside and outside academia) of linguistic and cultural diversity in the South, helping to dispel misconceptions and stereotypes.The Language Variety in the South (LAVIS V) conference features four plenary events including three plenary talks and a panel on African American English that features speakers from three different generations. The balance of the conference offers papers contributed by linguists and other interested scholars about topics relevant to the languages and language variation of the South. LAVIS V is held in conjunction with the annual meeting of the Southeastern Conference on Linguistics, thereby expanding its audience and reach.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

南方语言多样性第五次会议（拉维斯V）每十年举行一次，建立在前四次拉维斯会议的学术基础上，并将其扩展，这四次会议汇集了美国着名的语言学家和研究人员，举办专题研讨会，研究美国南方的语言变异和变化问题。过去的拉维斯会议都集中在非洲裔美国人英语的作用，语言变异和社会语言学方法，分析，描述和社会语言学数据在美国南部的区域背景下的应用的中心问题。最近，特别是在拉维斯V中，考虑了更多的种族群体。本次会议继续并扩展了这一传统，探索语言在“变化的南方”，一个地区，经历了戏剧性的人口，社会和文化变化，在过去的半个世纪。这次会议及其出版物提高了学术界内外对南方语言和文化多样性的认识，有助于消除误解和陈规定型观念。南方语言多样性会议（拉维斯V）包括四个全体会议，包括三个全体会议和一个由三代不同发言人组成的非裔美国人英语小组。会议的其余部分提供了语言学家和其他感兴趣的学者关于南方语言和语言变异相关主题的论文。拉维斯V与东南语言学会议的年度会议同时举行，从而扩大了其受众和影响范围。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
