Borders and Language: International Perspectives

As globalization continues to impact ways of knowing, ways of being, and ways 
of speaking around the world, the contribution of border-oriented scholarship will 
move from the margins of social and humanistic inquiry to the center of 
disciplinary inquiry and engagement (cf. Mignolo 2000). Border-oriented 
sociolinguistics is no exception in this impending conceptual shift. Following 
Omoniyi, border sociolinguistics has been characterized as a study of language 
in society that foregrounds spatial adjacency between two or more polities and 
that highlights the communicative dynamics of the populations that inhabit these 
polities. Border sociolinguistics may thus be characterized as an intentional 
transcendence of bounded speech communities and a heightened awareness of 
the effects of boundaries and bordelessness on language practices and 
language ideologies. The purpose of this thematic issue of The International 
Journal of the Sociology of Language is to highlight the salient role of border 
sociolinguistic research in the understanding of the impact of globalization on 
the languages and communicative practices of the world.

We are seeking 300 word abstracts on any aspect of languages in border 
regions throughout the world. We are particularly interested in studies that focus 
on borders in Eastern Europe or India.
