Meeting Description:

In the last years, there has been a strong drive within Linguistic Landscape
studies to 'go beyond the signs', which often has been interpreted as talking
to the producers, owners and readers of signs to learn more about how they
conceptualise the value and meaning of signs and languages. The 12th
Linguistic Landscape Workshop invites you to take a closer look at the
political, economic and technological structures and processes that regulate
the production, circulation and consumption of semiotic resources in and about
places. A political economic perspective on language allows us to
conceptualise the differential valorisation of semiotic resources in
particular spaces and places. This is important since different language
hierarchies and regimes prevail in different spatiotemporal contexts,
resulting in varied (in)visibility and (im)mobility for individual semiotic
resources.


Call for Papers:

We particularly invite contributions focusing on topics related to the overall
theme of the workshop, but we also welcome contributions addressing other
topics of relevance to the field of Linguistic Landscape.

We invite you to submit an abstract no later than 31 January 2020 through the
online conference tool (https://easychair.org/my/conference?conf=ll12). Please
make sure that your abstract is no longer than 300 words and you specify which
theoretical approach you draw upon, which analytical framework you employ and
what data you investigate.
Your abstracts will be reviewed by the conference’s scientific committee and
decisions will be sent out by 15 March 2020. 

A PhD course will be given in conjunction with the workshop, on the topic of
political economy of language and space/place. More information about it is
found on the conference web site.
