Meeting Description:

The Department of Foreign Languages at Towson University announces a
conference, ''Forging Linguistic Identities'' to be held on March 14-16, 2019
and invites proposals for papers.  The conference seeks to examine language as
socially embedded within historical and geo-political  contexts.


Call for Papers:

Possible topics might include, but not be limited to:

- Dialects/diglossia and their role in group identity formation
- The standardization of national and/or majority language(s) and its impact
on national or regional politics
- Multi-lingualism and its negotiation and practice by the communities of use.
      
- Use(s) of indigenous languages under transnational states
- National reception of dialect/minority-language literature and verbal
culture
- Migration
- Translation studies

The scope of the conference is not limited by region, language, or time
period.  Proposals involving languages taught by the Department of Foreign
Languages (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Ancient Greek, Biblical and Modern
Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish) are
especially encouraged.  Proposals are welcomed across disciplines, from
scholars of languages and literatures, education, geography, history,
psychology and sociology.  

Please send an abstract of 250 words by email to: Prof. George McCool
(gmccool at towson.edu).  

Please include your name, institution affiliation, day telephone, and email
address.  

Please note that Conference papers must be in English and limited to 20
minutes.

Faculty at all ranks, as well as graduate students, are encouraged to
participate. We will offer discounted hotel rooms near campus, and a graduated
scale of conference fees.

Deadline for submissions is November 1, 2018
