Meeting Description:

Title: Talking about Talk: Examining Social Life through Metalanguage

Researchers in applied linguistics are increasingly focused on shifting modes
of engagement, 'glocal' information flows, and superdiverse communicative
styles. Metalanguage—or talk about talk—has proven to be an invaluable
research lens in these complex settings, allowing researchers access to
participants’ “emic” interpretations of real-time interactional dynamics and
social contexts. The reflexive nature of language-in-use is proving to be a
rich analytical resource in, e.g., medical encounters, education spaces, and
online spaces. However, an integrated theory of metalanguage as a research
lens has yet to be developed.

This symposium aims to aid in this development by answering the following
questions: (a) How can metalanguage be used as a lens for revealing how
interlocutors orient to, and interpret, situated communication? (b) How does
metalanguage provide insights to changes in social relations over time?

The first question is addressed in Subtheme 1: Metalanguage in synchronous
discourse. We invite papers with a systematic focus on talk-about-talk in
either real or virtual “face-to-face” interactions (e.g., those happening in
real-time).
The second question will be addressed in Subtheme 2: Metalanguage in
asynchronous discourse. We invite papers that explore metalanguage in, e.g.,
policy discourse, online comments sections, social media, or other discourses
taking place over time.


Call for Papers:

We welcome abstract submissions at https://www.aila2020.nl/call-for-papers
before the deadline of 16 September 2019, under Symposium number 94.
