Meeting Description:

Crossing linguistic boundaries within and outwith

This is a special session sponsored by the Forum for Research on the Languages
of Scotland and Ulster (FRLSU) and organised by Dr Joanna Kopaczyk (Glasgow)
and Megan Bushnell (Oxford). To encourage early career scholars to
participate, the FRLSU will sponsor a £200 award for the best early career
presentation, selected by the organising committee and the audience attending
the special session.  For more information about FRLSU please check out their
website: https://frlsu.org/.


Call for Papers:

We invite presentations which explore boundaries from a linguistic angle and
place the language of an author, a text, a community, a period, etc. in the
centre of the investigation, in the context of medieval and early modern
Scotland. The topics may include: 

- Defining / exploring / problematising boundaries between linguistic levels
(e.g. sound vs spelling, lexicon vs grammar) 
- Defining / exploring / problematising boundaries between different languages
(e.g. English vs Scots, Scots vs Latin) 
- Defining / exploring / problematising differences between authors and their
language use 
- Reconciling approaches to historical texts across disciplinary boundaries
(e.g. literature, linguistics, digital humanities, textual editing, manuscript
studies, historiography, etc.) 
- Linguistic aspects of periodisation and any other conceptualisation imposed
on textual material. 

Papers should not be more than 20 minutes.
Please follow this link to submit a 300‐word abstract:
