Meeting Description:

Home

The 28th Lavender Languages Conference will be hosted in Catania (Italy) from
23 to 25 May 2022. The Conference has an intense and fruitful commitment
towards investigating language use and representation with respect to lesbian,
gay, bisexual, trans*, heterosexual and/or queer life, as well as language and
sexuality more broadly. The Conference supports a broad idea of “language”
which encompass all areas of semiosis, including pronunciation, lexical
choice, grammar, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, (critical) discourse
analysis, and the analysis of communication in various text genres, modes
(spoken, written, signed, multimodal, non-verbal) and media. Historical,
literary, cultural and descriptive studies are also welcomed, as are
performance-centered presentations and poster displays.

The Conference proudly maintains a “no attitudes” atmosphere, which will
continue in Catania (IT): all attendees should feel welcome in what will be a
supportive and collaborative conference space.

2nd Call for Papers:

The 28th Lavender Languages Conference will be hosted in Catania (Italy) from
23 to 25 May 2022, both onsite and online.
The Conference has an intense and fruitful commitment towards investigating
language use and representation concerning lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans,
heterosexual, and/or queer life, as well as language and sexuality more
broadly. The Conference supports a broad idea of “language” which encompass
all areas of semiosis, including pronunciation, lexical choice, grammar,
semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, (critical) discourse analysis, and
the analysis of communication in various text genres, modes (spoken, written,
signed, multimodal, non-verbal) and media. Historical, literary, cultural, and
descriptive studies are also welcomed, as are performance-centered
presentations and poster displays. The Conference proudly maintains a “no
attitudes” atmosphere, which will continue in Catania (IT): all attendees
should feel welcome in what will be a supportive and collaborative conference
space.

We invite abstracts for presentations that explore both macro and micro
contexts, but which acknowledge the need to position research into
site-specific practices within broader contexts of social, cultural, and
linguistic theory. Specific interest will be devoted to papers and panels that
address future directions for language and sexuality inquiry.

The language of presentation is English, research on languages other than
English is greatly encouraged.

- LGBTQ+ discourse
- Literary and media representations of LGBTQ+ life
- (Anti)homophobic and transphobic discourses, and other languages of
discrimination
- Pornography and/or the language of desire
- Queer linguistics and (hetero/homo)normativity
- Queer lexicology and lexicography
- LGBTQ+ in Institutions: policies and inclusiveness
- Variationist approaches to LGBTQ+ language/identity
- Intersectionality, language, and sexual identity
- Language, sexuality, and affect
- Language, sexuality, and pedagogy

Abstracts are invited for individual papers and panels.
