Subject: Call for Chapters: Address Forms in Contrast

 
Call for papers for a volume entitled 'Forms of address in contrastive
contexts'

Address is a ubiquitous component in everyday human interaction, whether
spoken or written, face-to-face or virtual. It is expressed linguistically
through a range of different forms which can be nominal (e.g. names, titles,
honorifics, terms of endearment or abuse), pronominal (1st-, 2nd- or
3rd-person, singular or plural) and verbal (e.g. in imperatives and other
directive structures). Forms of address are important both because of their
deictic and their social function: in interaction they identify the
addressee(s) and frame the social relationship between interlocutors. They
have been widely studied from a number of different linguistic perspectives,
among them historical (e.g. the development of 2nd-person pronouns in European
languages), variationist (e.g. dialect and sociolect forms), sociolinguistic
(e.g. their use in asymmetrical relations in a workplace), pragmatic (e.g.
their use as an expression of stance in a specific social situation). Address
forms differ from language to language formally but also in the way they are
used to express social relationships, and within languages they also differ
from one variety to another. The volume 'Forms of address in contrastive
context' aims to highlight such inter- and intralinguistic variation in the
expression of address and its functions. At the same time we hope that the
volume will also contribute to a discussion about contrasts in theoretical and
methodological approaches to the study of address. One section of the volume
will be specifically dedicated to this. Contributions may therefore be
concerned with contrastive or comparative analyses of:

- theoretical and methodological approaches to studying address
- address systems
- addressee responses to address practices
- address practices in related languages
- address practices in dialects, registers and/or domains of a single
language, or national varieties of a pluricentric language
- historical address systems/practices across languages or different phases of
the same language

The volume will be published in John Benjamins’ peer reviewed series Topics in
Address Research (TAR; https://www.benjamins.com/catalog/tar). You can signal
your interest in contributing by submitting an abstract of c. 500 words (excl.
references) by 30 September 2019 to the editors through the following email
address: inar05 at sheffield.ac.uk. Successful submissions will be notified by 31
October 2019 and your full contribution will be required by 1 April 2020.
