Meeting Description:

new dates of the conference are 22-23 March, 2021. Visit our website for more
details: http://xperohs.sdu.dk/conference/

Hate speech and offensive language is a widespread phenomenon in modern
societies. Hate speech can be roughly defined as any communication that
attacks individuals or groups “on the grounds of ‘race’, colour, descent,
national or ethnic origin, age, disability, language, religion or belief, sex,
gender, gender identity, sexual orientation and other personal characteristics
or status” (Council of Europe 2016). However, still relatively little is known
about the linguistic and communicative mechanisms underlying the expression
and perception of hate speech.

This conference aims to fill in a few of these gaps and shed light on various
linguistic and social aspects of current manifestations of hate speech,
providing an international forum for researchers working in the field.

It is organized by the members of the Velux-project “Towards Balance and
Boundaries in Public Discourse: Expressing and Perceiving Online Hate Speech
(XPEROHS)”.

Invited speakers are Jonathan Culpeper (Lancaster University) and Jörg
Meibauer (Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz).


Call for Papers: 

NEW: Due to the Corona Pandemic, the conference will be organized as a hybrid
event: In any case, you can participate online. At the same time we hope to
welcome all those who want to/may travel to Odense in person. Technical

abstracts for shorter talks (400 word abstract). Long talks will be allocated
a slot of 30 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion. The shorter ones are
limited to 15 minutes plus 5 minutes for discussion.
