Subject: Borderland Linguistics Conference

 
Full Title: Borderland Linguistics Conference 

Date: 27-Jun-2016 - 28-Jun-2016
Location: Bristol, United Kingdom 
Contact Person: James Hawkey
Meeting Email: james.hawkey at bristol.ac.uk

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 16-Mar-2016 

Meeting Description:

The notion of border is highly complex and problematic, whether it be an
officially demarcated border between two states, or a less rigorously defined
meeting space of somehow differentiated social or ethnic groups. Leading
theorists have proposed that a broad-reaching 'theory' of borders may in fact
be infelicitous, due to the contextual specificities of each different border
area that may constitute an area of study. Nevertheless, borders remain
fruitful sites for scholarly inquiry, and this conference invites
contributions from linguistics researchers of all levels whose work focuses on
borderlands. 

Keynote speaker: Dr Phillip M Carter, Florida International University. 
June 27-28, 2016. Clifton Hill House, University of Bristol, UK. 

Organised by Dr James Hawkey (Department of Hispanic, Portuguese and Latin
American Studies), and supported by the British Academy and Leverhulme Trust.


Call for Papers:

This conference welcomes contributions from scholars of all subdisciplines of
linguistics as well as researchers in border studies whose work relates to
language or communication.
