Call for papers
ISA Research Committee on Sociolinguistics RC25
V ISA World Congress of Sociology
Brisbane, Australia
July 7-13, 2002
ISA Research Committee on Sociolinguistics RC25 invites proposals for its
sessions at the XV ISA World Congress of Sociology in Brisbane. Abstracts
are invited from scholars working in any field of sociolinguistics with
interests in the following topics:
1. Colonial Languages and their Legacies
This session will consider a range of issues concerning the
linguistic effects of colonial languages on indigenous languages, and the
perceived threat of English to local languages. We would particularly
welcome participation from scholars in the developing world. Please
contact Bob Herbert: warthog at binghamton.edu
2. Code-Switching
This session will consider the social and political issues raised
by code-switching as a linguistic phenomenon in a globalising
world. Please contact Rodolfo Jacobson: jake at dbp.gov.my
3. Language and Gender
This session will present research from different
sociolinguistic traditions about gender differences in language and
communication, and it will look at how femininity and masculinity are
constructed interactionally in ordinary activities.
Please contact Isabella Paoletti: ipaolett at unipg.it
4. The Writing Society
This session will address the political issue of how written
international professional communication can be made more
multilingual. It invites papers which examine how different languages
are used in international organisations, or
multilingual communities, and the special role of 'world languages' in
formal communication and record-keeping. Please contact Donald Sola:
dfs8 at cornell.edu
5. Language, Technology and Work
This session invites papers from ethnographers, and
discourse analysts working in the fields of computer supported
co-operative work (CSCW) and human-computer interaction. Please contact:
Max.Travers at bcuc.ac.uk
6. Helplines
This session invites contributions from conversation analysts and
other sociolinguists who are researching interaction on helplines. Please
contact Mike Emmison: m.emmison at mailbox.uq.edu.au
7. Language and Law
This session will present research about language-use in legal
settings. We would particularly welcome papers about the linguistic
problems faced by minority groups in Australia in the legal process, but
contributions on any aspect of
language and law would be welcome. Please
contact: john.gibbons at linguistics.usyd.edu.au
8. Language and Education
This session invites papers about any aspect of interaction in
educational settings. Please contact Carolyn
Baker: c.baker at mailbox.uq.edu.au
Abstracts of 200-300 words should be submitted to session chairs

theories, philosophical foundations).
