Location: Istanbul, Turkey

Call Deadline: 30-Sep-2022 

Meeting Description:

Since the establishment of the term “linguistic landscape” by Landry & Bourhis
in their groundbreaking study (1997), the field has developed swiftly.
Empirical studies conducted in different regions and covering various
languages and language combinations were complemented by publications
centering on methodological aspects. The focus increasingly shifted from a
mere “counting the languages” on signs to more comprehensive approaches,
including sociolinguistic descriptions of the neighborhoods, interviews with
the authors and recipients of these signs and others.

Studies focusing on Istanbul, other towns in the Republic of Turkey or
Turkish-speaking regions elsewhere are rather rare and scattered, including
information about on-going projects (see the references below). Thus, the
planned workshop “Linguistic Landscape of Istanbul: Possibilities and
Prospects”, conducted by İstanbul Büyükşehir Belediyesi, Orient-Institut
Istanbul and University of Potsdam, aims to:
- bring together academics in the field of linguistic landscape studies who
have worked on Istanbul, Turkey or Turkish-speaking regions,
- stimulate discussions on methodological questions, such as the compilation
of corpora,
- help to identify common research questions and topics, thus enabling future
joint research.


Call for Papers:

We are planning an in-person workshop in Istanbul between 24–25 February 2023
(details will follow in due time). A keynote speech will be delivered by
Professor Florian Coulmas (Universität Duisburg-Essen, Germany).

We invite abstract submissions for presentations (40 minutes presentation plus
20 minutes discussion) on any aspect related to the workshop topic. Your
proposal should represent original work, published or unpublished. 

Please send your abstract (in pdf format, up to 500 words plus references) to
Ruth Bartholomä (bartholomae at oiist.org) by 30 September 2022. The selection of
papers for presentation and notification of acceptance will be carried out
until 31 October 2022. For practical reasons, the language of the conference
is English. Presentations in Turkish are possible, but presenters must provide
slides/handouts in English. Abstracts must be submitted in English.
