Meeting Description: 

This two-day online event brings together experts on English as a lingua
franca (ELF), inter-/transcultural communication, sociolinguistics and
multilingualism to explore research perspectives that the theoretical and
empirical engagement with communication in transient contexts has for applied
linguistics. The aim of the symposium is to critically reflect on current
concepts, methods and research practices in (applied) linguistics and to
identify future perspectives for applied linguistic research that emerge in
light of the lingua-cultural diversity and fleetingness of many international,
local and virtual communicative settings. Being linked to ongoing research on
ELF in Transient International Groups (TIGs) in the #ELFinTIGs project, the
symposium takes ELF communication as a case in point, but explicitly welcomes
the exploration and discussion of theoretical and methodological implications
that go beyond the study of ELF communication. It invites connections with
other *languages and different multilingual and transient communicative
situations.

Invited speakers
Dr. Will Baker (University of Southampton)
Prof. Brigitta Busch (University of Vienna/Stellenbosch University)
Dr. Janus Mortensen (University of Copenhagen) 
Prof. Barbara Seidlhofer (University of Vienna)

The symposium is designed to include keynote talks as well as longer periods
of interaction with participants. Its aim is to provide a forum for academic
discussion. The issues raised and discussed during the symposium are expected
to be of relevance for research on spoken interaction, transient and/or
multilingual groups and applied linguistics more generally.
