Linguistic Field(s): Ling & Literature; Sociolinguistics 

Call Deadline: 30-Sep-2016 

Meeting Description:

The panel seeks to bring together interdisciplinary research papers across,
but not limited to, sociolinguistics, cultural studies, formalist and
historicist approaches, medical humanities, literary theory, community-based
revitalization practices, second language acquisition, communication sciences,
and other disciplines seeking to correlate the linguistic correlates of
attrition and loss to individual, community, and societal considerations. By
focusing on the depiction, analysis and interpretation of manifestations of
attrited language in film, literature, and popular culture irrespective of
time periods, languages or spaces, the panel will raise interesting questions
by aiming to carry out a cultural criticism of language loss within a broader
range of topics. In particular, papers that aim to link previous criticism and
theories of language loss with the intersections of globalization and
marginalization, power and language endangerment, literary and non-standard
varieties, identity and migration, minorities and linguistic inequalities,
that might be represented in but not limited to movies, novels, plays,
television, etc., underlying the growing interest on language loss will be
considered. Thus, ''language loss'' for the purpose of this session has
relatively lax categorical (first or second language loss), critical,
historical, language and geographical constraints in order to foster
competitive submissions and attract a wider audience whose research cross
departmental, theoretical, and language boundaries.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
