Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; History of
Linguistics; Language Documentation; Linguistic Theories

Call Deadline: 21-Jul-2023

Meeting Description:

The present conference will attempt to bring together the historical,
reflexive, and prospective dimensions of research in linguistic
anthropology,
— by re-examining the questionings and theoretical foundations on the
basis of which the different traditions of ethnolinguistics and
linguistic anthropology were built during the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries, including specifically French contributions;
—by providing an overview of the variety of current approaches in this
field, from the point of view of their objects, research questions,
methods, conceptual apparatuses, and interdisciplinary complicities;
—by seeking to open up new avenues of research.

Call for Papers:

These are some of the questions which the conference proposes to
discuss (the list is not exhaustive):
—what does it mean to do ethnolinguistics or linguistic anthropology
nowadays?
—what leads ethnologists to be attracted or attentive to linguistic
questions, or linguists to be interested in ethnological questions?
—the traditions and theoretical sources of ethnolinguists and
linguistic anthropologists, in linguistics, anthropology, or other
disciplines;
—national or continental particularities, schools of thought;
—the academic organization of research: linguistic anthropologists
most often work in anthropology departments or research groups rather
than linguistics departments, where on the other hand sociolinguists
are to be found. What are the origins of this disciplinary
organization and what consequences has it had on researchers’ modes of
approach?
—how do ethnolinguists or linguistic anthropologists approach
language? What concepts do they use?  What linguistic knowledge and
references do they base their work on?  Pragmatics, for example, and
later cognitive linguistics have been key to the work of
ethnolinguists;
—how have ethnolinguists and linguistic anthropologists approached key
concepts like “context” and “interaction” which they share with other
disciplines in the social sciences?
—how does one do fieldwork in ethnolinguistics or linguistic
anthropology?
—the relations with other subfields or disciplinary branches: oral
literature, ethnoscience and ecological anthropology, descriptive and
typological linguistics, sociolinguistics, pragmatics,
ethnomethodology, interactionism, cognition, intercultural
psycholinguistics, ethnomusicology, ethnopoetics…;
—the tension between the designations “ethnolinguistics” and
“linguistic anthropology”;
—the place of the researcher in society:  by envisaging linguistic
activity in social situations, linguistic anthropology has worked to
reveal situations of minority oppression and has served as a means of
action for preserving and valorizing the diversity of human
experience;
—ethnolinguistics and linguistic anthropology beyond the human:
communication with and between non-humans, communication between human
being and machine.

Abstracts should be around 250 words long and include a bibliography.
