Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics 

Call Deadline: 30-Apr-2019 

Meeting Description:

We are delighted to invite interested scholars and colleagues to participate
in the opening event of the ERC-project ‘Everyday writing in Graeco-Roman and
Late Antique Egypt. A socio-semiotic study of communicative variation’
(2018-2023).

The main aim of the conference is to explore to what ex­tent it is possible
and desirable to found a discipline such as historical social-semiotics,
parallel to historical socio-linguistics. This novel, interdisciplinary
approach is particularly relevant for ‘everyday’ documentary texts: since
these texts represent autographs, their external characteristics can also be
brought into interpretation. Some of the characteristics to be considered as
expressions of social meaning (functioning as ‘semiotic resources’) are – but
are not limited to – writing material, document format, and language choice.
The conference will mainly focus on documentary texts from the Mediterranean
region, roughly spanning the period from the first millennium BCE to the first
millennium CE.

Confirmed speakers include:

James Clackson (Cambridge)
Mark Depauw (Leuven)
Jean-Luc Fournet (Paris)
Antonella Ghignoli (Rome)
Tonio Sebastian Richter (Berlin)
Petra Sijpesteijn (Leiden) 


Call for Papers:

Please submit a one-page English abstract to evwrit at ugent.be by April 30,
2019. Notification of acceptance will be given by June 1, 2019.
