and Switzerland.

The Conference of the Association is held in the Fall, generally between
mid-September and mid-October. Each of the approximately 150 sessions features
three scholarly papers, a moderator, and a commentator. The topics are

Call for Papers:

CfP: Panel Series - Linguistics and Language Studies in German Studies: Pasts,
Presents, Futures

Open Call for Papers sponsored by the Linguistics and Language Studies
Interdisciplinary Network of the GSA for the 46th Annual Conference of the
German Studies Association, Houston, Texas, September 15-18, 2022. Extended
Deadline: March 21, 2022.

Linguistics and Language Studies in German Studies: Pasts, Presents, Futures

This inaugural panel series of the GSA interdisciplinary network for
Linguistics and Language Studies seeks to explore a broad and urgent yet
long-neglected question: what role did, do, and should linguistics and
language studies play in contemporary German Studies?  Although German Studies
and linguistics share many of the same disciplinary roots, and in earlier
iterations of German Studies linguistics played a major role in the formation,
maintenance, and growth of departments, the expansion of German Studies into
new and exciting fields has unfortunately come at considerable expense to some
of the traditional areas of the field, like linguistics.  As such, the place
of linguistics in both German Studies specifically and in language departments
more generally has long been a contentious topic. Nonetheless, the methods and
central questions of linguistics continue to spark both disciplinary and
transdisciplinary interest within German Studies, as evidenced by GSA seminars
and panels on topics ranging from Linguistic Indifference to Multilingualism
and Linguistic Others in recent years.

This panel series thus seeks to bring together scholars interested in
transdisciplinary approaches to the study of both the German language and
minority languages of historical and political relevance to German Studies. We
welcome papers from the diverse fields for which language is a central object
of analysis, including but not limited to:

applied linguistics and language pedagogy
dialectology
historical linguistics
language pedagogy
linguistic anthropology
philology
philosophy of language
poetics
semiotics
sociolinguistics
new forms and varieties of German (e.g., Kiezdeutsch, Namdeutsch)
stylistics
translation studies

Given the location of the 2022 conference, we particularly invite papers on
Texas German and other varieties of German spoken in the United States. We
also welcome papers from any subfield that employs language as an analytical
tool through methodologies such as, but not limited to:

corpus-linguistic research
digital text analysis
discourse analysis
linguistic ethnography
narrative analysis

Please submit a 350 to 500-word abstract and a short bio or CV to Marc Pierce
(mpierc at austin.utexas.edu) and Lindsay Preseau (presealy at ucmail.uc.edu) by
March 21, 2022. We expect to assemble a series of 3-4 panels.  Please do not
hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
