CALL FOR PAPERS
 
38th Annual Convention
MIDWEST MODERN LANGUAGE ASSOCIATION
APPLIED LINGUISTICS SECTION
 
TOPIC:  ELECTRONIC LITERACY
 
NOVEMBER 7-9, 1996
 
Minneapolis Marriott City Center
Minneapolis, Minnesota
 
 
The 1996 Applied Linguistics Section of M/MLA invites papers that
explore the ways in which computers are affecting language practices
and the politics of literacy.  Popular writers and literary scholars
often discuss the dramatic ways computers are affecting reading and
writing in the late twentieth century.  What do applied linguists say?
What does linguistic analysis tell us about the ways computers are
transforming our language practices?
 
Possible presentation topics include:
 
changes in language theories
due to electronic literacy
 
methodologies useful for
researching the impact of computers on language
 
ethnolinguistic studies of computers
in schools and workplaces
 
empirical studies of new genres
or other language formations
 
the possibilities, features, and problems
of hypertext as a new genre
 
the significance of race, class, and gender
variables on electronic literacy
 
the implications of electronic literacy
for critical or social change education
 
cyberspace as a new
linguistic frontier
 
One or two page proposals should be
received by Friday, March 29, 1996.  Include the title
of your presentation and list your name,
address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
Please remember the format for M/MLA presentations:
