Meeting Description:

The Sociolinguistics Symposium Committee at the University of Illinois at
Urbana-Champaign is pleased to announce the third annual Sociolinguistics
Symposium (SOSY), which will be held virtually on February 26-27, 2021 in
conjunction with the 13th Annual Illinois Language and Linguistics Society
Conference.

SOSY is a graduate student-run symposium aimed primarily at providing graduate
and advanced undergraduate students a forum to present and discuss their
research on topics related to sociolinguistics. Following the success of last
year’s symposium on “Rethinking Speech Communities”, this year’s theme is
“Marginalized Language: Race, Identity and Society”. This session invites
abstracts that focus on various semiotic practices —including but not limited
to codeswitching, stance-taking, lexical choice, script choice, and phonetic
variation—of meaning-making in different modalities. We especially encourage
research that explores the identity processes uncovered, recovered, encouraged
or discouraged at the loci of linguistic marginalization through a variety of
analytical/theoretical sociolinguistic approaches.


Call for Papers: 

Submissions are limited to two abstracts per author: one single author
abstract and one multi-author abstract OR two multi-author abstracts. The
student must be the first author and presenter. Abstracts should be a maximum
of 500 words, with one extra page allowed for images, data, and/or references.
Full references are not necessary; but if used - please use the (Author, Year)
format. Abstracts should be submitted in PDF format with NO IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION of the presenter in the document.

Deadline for abstract submissions: November 14, 2020,11:59pm CST. Authors will
be notified of abstract decisions by mid December, 2020.
