Meeting Description:

24th International Association for World Englishes (IAWE) University of
Limerick, Ireland 20-22 June 2019

The International Association for World Englishes is committed to the study of
the forms and functions of varieties of Englishes in diverse cultural and
sociolinguistic contexts. The association focuses on global issues relating to
three major aspects of world Englishes: language, literature, and pedagogy.
The 24th Annual IAWE conference will be hosted by the University of Limerick,
Ireland, from June 20 – 22 2019. The theme for the conference is World
Englishes: Peripheries and Centres.

Peripherality and centrality are temporally and spatially defined, as well as
constantly shifting. We invite contributions which explore the tensions and
dynamics of centrality and peripherality in relation to, for example: changing
centres and peripheries in terms of world Englishes; the changing global
political economy of world Englishes; shifting centres of norms in world
Englishes; new roles for peripheral world Englishes through technology,
globalisation and commodification; and the evolution of peripheral
normativities which are locally determined as challenges to central norms.
While favouring a focus on the conference theme we will also welcome papers
connected to the core concerns of the field of world Englishes.


Call for Papers:

The conference theme for IAWE 2019 is ''World Englishes: Peripheries and
Centres''. The theme has particular relevance for the conference location:
Ireland is part of the centre in terms of being within the Inner Circle of
English, yet within that context the English spoken in many parts of Ireland,
including Limerick as a geographically peripheral site, can also be seen and
understood as peripheral. Peripherality and centrality are temporally and
spatially defined, as well as constantly shifting. We invite paper and poster
contributions which explore the tensions and dynamics of centrality and
peripherality in relation to, for example: changing centres and peripheries in
terms of world Englishes; the changing global political economy of world
Englishes; shifting centres of norms in world Englishes; new roles for
peripheral world Englishes through technology, globalisation and
commodification; and the evolution of peripheral normativities which are
locally determined as challenges to central norms. While favouring a focus on
the conference theme we will also welcome papers connected to the core
concerns of the field of world Englishes. 

Abstract proposals for paper (20 min + 10 min questions) or poster
presentations of no more than 250 words, in English, should be submitted to
iawe2019 at ul.ie
