Full Title: Digital Speech Acts in Social Media 

Date: 27-Jun-2021 - 02-Jul-2021
Location: Winterthur, Switzerland 
Contact Person: Zhuo Jing-Schmidt

Linguistic Field(s): Pragmatics 

Call Deadline: 25-Oct-2020 

Meeting Description:

Language use in social media is an integral part of contemporary digital
culture in its various global and local contexts. This 90 minute
interdisciplinary panel aims to explore how language use in social media
performs social acts including but not limited to identity construction, play
and self-expression, political activism and advocacy, as well as aggression
and violence. Researchers who are interested in and concerned with the social,
technological, political, sociopsychological, legal and other aspects of
digital speech acts in social media are invited to participate. The panel
presentations are intended to address emerging forms and functions of digital
communication using verbal and graphical devices in various social media
platforms across and among languages and cultures in order to shed light on
the socio-technological factors that shape the typology of digital speech acts
and the real world consequences of these performative acts for individuals and
societies. We believe the panel will spurt exciting discussions on creative
research topics and innovative research methods and facilitate the exchanges
of ideas and analytical tools in this budding domain of interdisciplinary
inquiries. 

The panel will feature brief oral presentations followed by a Q & A session
and group discussions.


Call for Papers: 

Please submit a 400-word abstract that focuses on the empirical elements of
your study (1) data (2) research methods (3) findings and, finally, (4) the
implications of your study for theories of pragmatics.
