Meeting Description:

Sociolinguistics Symposium is the world’s main gathering of sociolinguists
internationally. This two-yearly event provides a unique opportunity and forum
to develop and exchange ideas and research findings about language and society
in its manifold connections and manifestations. From its beginnings as a small
meeting in the UK in 1976, the tradition of Sociolinguistic Symposia has grown
into the largest sociolinguistic networking event in the world. Attracting
hundreds of participants and exhibitors, the Symposium is also a stimulating
space for networking.

It is with much enthusiasm that we announce Sociolinguistics Symposium 24.
SS24 will be held in Ghent in July 2022. In close consultation with previous
symposium organizers and our colleagues in Hong Kong, the tradition of a
meeting in even years is upheld. SS24 in 2022 will mark the 20th anniversary
of the first Sociolinguistics Symposium hosted on the European mainland (SS14
in Ghent in 2002). SS24 is organized by Ghent University in close
collaboration with the Belgian sociolinguistic community. The dates of the
conference are 13-16 July 2022.

The conference theme is ''Inside and Beyond Binaries''. According to some, we
live in increasingly polarized worlds. Which are the binary distinctions – cf.
“marked/unmarked” - that can be noted in sociolinguistic enquiry, its history
of developments, and how have these been instrumental in pushing the
discipline’s social, linguistic and interventionist agendas forward? At the
same time, critiques of binary thinking itself have been formulated at various
stages: a logic of seemingly stable oppositions often stifles debate,
contributes to the cultivation of insurmountable gaps, invites scientific
reductionism, and hinders rather than foster inclusiveness. Presenters at SS24
are encouraged to address how the conference theme is relevant for their
specific research niche, or sociolinguistics more generally. In addition to
the conference theme, tradition has it that sociolinguistics symposia are
committed to hosting papers and colloquia in any area of sociolinguistic
enquiry.
