Meeting Description:

The poststructuralist perspective of language learning and use has allowed
applied linguists to examine various aspects of communicative acts in relation
to social contexts rather than adhere to studies of linguistic structures and
mental processes. Such a perspective has generated sociocultural theories,
which enable us to apply an analytical lens to the sociocultural factors of
second language acquisition and intercultural interactions as well as the
processes in which language learners and/or users undertake activities
embedded in social contexts. While contributing to the investigation of
individual and group behavior toward language, Language Management Theory
(LMT) has established its own specific position in the field of sociocultural
research. In particular, LMT has played a crucial role in expanding the
sociocultural approaches to elucidating cultural contact on the grounds that
it helps us analyze the processes in which norm deviations occur in contact
situations and are followed by noting and evaluating the deviations,
adjustment planning, and implementing plans and strategies to rectify such
deviations (Jernudd & Neustupný, 1987; Neustupný, 1985, 2004). 

This symposium aims not to recycle and/or reproduce the previous findings of
research on contact situations but to provide new insights into this research
area by re-exploring intercultural interactions at the macro and micro levels
on the basis of LMT and other sociocultural and sociolinguistic theories.
Emphasizing the view of languages as mobile resources in the globalized world,
the symposium will focus on not only linguistic and sociocultural problems,
which participants face in contact situations, but also on how participants
encounter positive intercultural phenomena and how they appreciate them.

Invited Speakers:

- Björn H. Jernudd (independent scholar, Washington, DC)
- Satoshi Miyazaki (Waseda University, Tokyo)
- Jiří Nekvapil (Charles University, Prague)
