Meeting Description:

Workshop Series: Language and Identity

The nature of interaction between language and identity is a central
topic in today’s academic discourse in numerous fields, including
linguistics, psychology, education, media, and political science. The
complexity and urgency of the topic has resulted in a number of
approaches and methodologies aimed at the detection and investigation
of features of identity, ranging from approaches informed by
sociolinguistics and anthropology to those rooted in developmental and
social psychology. Today, while simultaneously exploring the
particularities of mechanisms of identity expression in and through
language, linguistics identity research also informs approaches to
multicultural education, language policy, and language in the
workplace.

In this workshop series, we focus on building common ground between
various approaches to identity and language, forming a
cross-disciplinary view on such fundamental issues as levels of
identity (personal, relational, or collective), identity stability and
fluidity, the broader nature of identity (discovered or constructed),
and identity and language in the context of digitization and
globalization. These workshops aim to present a diachronic,
multidisciplinary view on approaches to language and identity in a
variety of linguistic contexts and traditions. We also welcome
researchers investigating the interaction between language and
identity from the perspectives of media, political science,
psychology, healthcare, and history.

The workshop series opens with an event aimed at discussing the
fundamentals of language and identity from a theoretical perspective.
They will be followed by workshops focusing on the interaction between
language and identity in media and communication, education policy,
and linguistic landscape.

Each workshop will open with a keynote lecture followed by a
discussion.  Each workshop aims to discuss several short papers on the
topic.

Call for Papers:

for a short 15 min presentation, please submit 250-words abstracts in

In this workshop, we discuss the possible implementation of research
