[lg policy] call: International Journal of the Sociology of Language

[Harold Schiffman]

International Journal of the Sociology of Language


Call Deadline: 31-Dec-2012

The International Journal of Sociology of Language (IJSL) is calling
for papers for a special issue dedicated to analyzing in detail the
dynamics of communicative practice, language ideologies, and
intercultural and transnational conflict in Hispaniola.

Some of the central questions specifically addressed in this issue
include: 1) how are languages and linguistic practices inserted in the
general relations of power in the island?; 2) what are the politics
and consequences of language education in the Dominican Republic?; 3)
what are the political consequences of language contact in
marginalized communities and transnational areas such as Samaná (a
historically multilingual area), or the border?; 4) what is the
history and current state of language policies and ideologies in
Haiti?; and 5) how do language ideologies contribute to the
representation of differences and contact between languages and to the
preservation of power regimes? The prospective issue will reflect a
collective and interdisciplinary effort that engages critical theories
of language and discourse and combines diverse methodologies.

All papers will be submitted to a peer review process. Those
interested in contributing should initially submit a title and an
abstract (200 words) with three keywords. The deadline for submitting
papers (7,500 words + bibliography) to the issue editor is December
31, 2012 at the following email address: valdezjuan158gmail.com. For a
style sheet consult the following site:

papers to any interested colleagues.
