Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics 

Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2020 

Meeting Description:

This conference is conceived of as an accessible new forum for cutting-edge
sociolinguistic research. It is open to a broad range of sociolinguistics
researchers, including those working outside the Anglo-Western sociolinguistic
tradition, who address the varying and rapidly changing modes of linguistic
interactions in the highly diverse world of today. Following two realizations
in Budapest, the event is now moving to another of the major Central European
capitals, Prague. Coming from the European context, we are highly aware of the
importance of perspectives from different corners of the world, including
those not usually heard from.

The main themes of the conference are diversities, new media and language
management. They reflect the most visible trends from both global and local
perspectives: evolving diversity and the omnipresence of the new media in the
contemporary social world. The dynamic character of diversity in contemporary
societies may lead us to be more sensitive to the management of language and
communication we are doing on an everyday basis, and make us increasingly
reflect our language use and communication practices overall. New media and
their various genres represent spaces where we can very quickly and easily
reflect upon language use, and use various modes to do so. Of course, the
management of language and communication has always existed. What has evolved
in recent years is its sociolinguistic analysis, driven, among others, by the
changes continually happening around us. 

Considering the wide range of research traditions and theoretical frameworks
used in sociolinguistic research around the world, we invite contributions
that address both the topics addressed above and all other relevant topics
from any area of sociolinguistics.

Plenary Speakers:
- Felix Banda (University of the Western Cape, South Africa)
- Collective MX90 (international)
- Dong Jie (Tsinghua University, China)
- Milan Ferenčík (University of Prešov, Slovakia)
- Nkonko Kamwangamalu (Howard University, USA)
- Goro Christoph Kimura (Sophia University, Japan)


Call for Papers:

The deadline for the submission of abstracts of individual papers and panels
has passed, but we still invite abstract submissions for late-breaking
posters.

Poster presentations will be allocated their own time slot during the
conference. No printed posters will be presented; posters will be displayed on
digital screens and thus can include multimodal materials (sound, video etc.).

Abstracts should be created in doc, docx or rtf format and consist of max. 300
words plus references and should also contain 3–5 keywords. The abstracts
should be submitted directly to vit.dovalil at ff.cuni.cz by April 15, 2020.

Abstracts should include information on the theoretical framework, research
questions, data and methods and summarize the main findings. The selection of
papers for presentation at ICS.3 will be carried out by the Scientific
Committee and the Organizing Committee.

Note on Registration:
Poster presenters and other attending participants must register for the
conference. Each participant may submit only one abstract as the first or sole
author, but can be a second, or subsequent, co-author of another paper or
papers.
