Call Deadline: 30-Jun-2023

Meeting Description:

The VALS-ASLA Conference 2024 will be held at the University of Bern
on 12-13 February 2024.

VALS-ASLA, the Swiss Association for Applied Linguistics, is a forum
for the exchange of knowledge and information in the field of Applied
Linguistics, an interdisciplinary field of linguistics in which
language-related challenges and real-life problems are examined and
results are applied in both practice and theory development.

The theme of the 2024 conference in Bern is Asymmetries and
Inequalities in Language. With this theme, we seek to highlight the
ways in which language and language issues reflect and reproduce
social divisions, but also how linguistic analyses can help to uncover
and sometimes even redress inequalities in society. We aim to showcase
research on language and social issues from a wide range of
theoretical, methodological and geopolitical perspectives, and to
encourage discussions on the role that asymmetries and inequalities
play in our research.

Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for oral presentations drawing on original
research related to any sub-discipline of sociolinguistics or applied
linguistics (including critical sociolinguistics, variationist
sociolinguistics, interactional sociolinguistics, conversational
analysis, language policy, and language teaching and learning, among
others). We particularly encourage submissions related to the
conference theme. We aim to showcase a diversity of theoretical and
methodological approaches as well as linguistic and cultural contexts.
Oral presentations will last 20 minutes (with 5 minutes for questions
and discussion) and can be given in German, French, Italian or
English.

Abstracts should be submitted via our website:
https://www.conftool.pro/vals-asla-2024/. Abstracts (in German,
French, Italian or English) should not exceed one page of text.
References, examples, and images may appear on a second page.
Abstracts should be submitted as PDF documents and be fully
anonymized. The deadline for submission is Friday, June 30, 2023. All
abstracts will be evaluated by the scientific committee.
