Subject: Heteroglossia and Language Play in Second-Language Speech (De Gruyter Mouton)

 
Ludic language play, as characterized by Bakhtin (1934/1981), has been
proposed as one way in which learner language use in social context may
influence second-language acquisition processes (Broner & Tarone, 2001;
LaScotte, 2019; LaScotte & Tarone, 2019; Tarone, 2000, 2019). Adult and
adolescent second-language learners have been shown to systematically
manipulate elements of both their first and their second language in the
service of imagination, irony, and sarcasm. In doing this, second-language
learners can exercise and expand their mastery of a range of language
registers and dialects (what Bakhtin referred to as "voices"). Instances of
language play like those documented in Broner and Tarone (2001) suggest that
interlanguage variation is not simply a one-time response to a single social
context; rather, they show that learners have internalized a range of
second-language varieties—that is, their speech is heteroglossic—and they can
produce these varieties at will in new social contexts as part of ludic
language play.  

With a focus on heteroglossia and language play in second-language speech, we
invite scholars to submit chapter proposals for empirical studies documenting
use of Bakhtin's constructs of language play, multivoicedness, and
heteroglossia in studying second-language learner speech, including
acquisition processes. We wish to solicit novel contributions from a diversity
of language teaching contexts, learner populations, and topics in the theory
and/or practice of second and foreign language teaching. 

How to submit:
Submit an abstract of your proposed book chapter in 500 words (excluding
references). In your proposal, please clearly state the following: 
- The theoretical framework 
- The context of your research (country, language taught, student population)
- How your contribution offers empirical, original, and significant work
- Implications of your research on the research and/or practice of language
teaching and learning

Submit your proposal via the form here:

Timeline:
Submission of book chapter proposal: August 15, 2021
Notification of acceptance for proposed book: October 1, 2021

Publisher:
This book is in consideration to be published in De Gruyter Mouton’s series on
Language Play and Creativity (series editor Nancy Bell). For additional
information regarding the series, please visit:

Final call for proposals--- ONE WEEK LEFT TO SUBMIT!

NOTE: Some scholars have inquired whether we would consider a proposal that
focuses on language play in L2 writing, or whether we would consider a
thought-piece or position paper instead of an empirical study. At this point
in the editorial process, we are open to considering both and would make our
final decisions after reviewing all submitted proposals.
