I'm pushing the deadline for this session out to October 30. But if

</p><p>…</p>
<p>The intersection of language, discourse, and space has become a
growing subject of attention in recent years, in a range of disciplines
including cultural geography, linguistic anthropology, sociology, and
political science. Following a hiatus last year, there is an opportunity
for the interdisciplinary Linguistic Geography session to return to the
AAG annual meeting. This call is for any scholars whose work touches on
the ways in which landscape and language are connected, and the impact
they have on our understanding of the world.</p>
<p>Possible topics include language and space, linguistic landscapes
(language use in public spaces), language and power, ethnophysiography,
toponymy, dialectology, linguistic cartography, and the representation
of places in discourse. Papers that engage with the conference themes
for 2021, especially "Geographies of Access: Inclusion and Pathways" and
"Ethnonationalism and Exclusion around the World" are especially
encouraged. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the desire for
international participation, this is planned to be a <strong>virtual session</strong>; note that the session will not be finalized until it is clear that there will be a minimum number of participants.</p>
<p>Please reach out to Greg Niedt at <a href="mailto:gniedt@pobox.pafa.edu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">gniedt@pobox.pafa.edu</a> by <b>Friday, October 30th</b>
if you are interested in presenting in the 2021 sessions, or if you
have any questions. (You are also welcome to send abstract drafts, if
you have ideas prepared.) More information about the conference can be
found at <a href="http://annualmeeting.aag.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span>http://annualmeeting.aag.org/</span></a>, and feel free to disseminate the CFP to anyone you know who might be interested.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
