Creole Language and Music

edited by
Joseph T. Farquharson, Andrea Hollington, Byron Jones

Call for Papers:

Links between language and music have been explored in various contexts, from
the adoption of Noam Chomsky’s linguistic generative approach to music through
Jackendoff and Lehrdahl’s “generative theory of tonal music” (1983) to
sociolinguistic accounts of popular music such as Hip Hop (Alim (2006), Alim,
Ibrahim & Pennycook 2009, Terkourafi (2010)) or Reggae and Dancehall (Devonish
(1996, 1998, 2006), Devonish and Jones (2017) Farquharson (2005), Hollington
(2016, 2018), Jones (forthcoming)). While this volume, like the latter works,
seeks to look at language and music as social practices, it does not focus on
a specific music genre. Instead, it looks at creole languages and the ways
they feature in and impact on various music styles. We are therefore inviting
scholars to contribute papers that investigate creole languages in music
including (but not limited to) topics such as  language and identity,
ethnography of communication, multilingualism and language contact, language
attitudes and ideologies. While Jamaican music features more prominently in
the study of creole language and music, we particularly also invite scholars
focusing on other music genres and parts of the world in order to draw a more
holistic picture of the complex thematic. Interested potential authors should
send their abstracts to andrea.hollington at yahoo.de or jtfarquharson at gmail.com.
Deadline for the submission of abstracts is 15 November 2018.
