Meeting Description:

Part of Arctic Congress Bodø 2024, 29 May-3 June 2024

The 11th International Congress of Arctic Social Sciences (ICASS XI),
partners with UArctic Congress and High North Dialogue to organize a
major Arctic Congress Bodø 2024.

Bringing three conferences together in Bodø - one of the 2024 European
Cultural Capitals - will be an extraordinary showcase of Arctic
cooperation. The Arctic Congress Bodø 2024 will provide excellent
opportunities to exchange knowledge, and to meet and connect across
the Arctic. The themes of the congress will be aligned with Norway’s
Arctic Council chairmanship program in partnership with the Norwegian
Ministry for Foreign Affairs.

The congress will include a meeting of the IASSA General Assembly,
high-level plenary and parallel sessions, as well as networking and
social activities.

Call for Papers:

Abstracts (250 words) are being accepted until 5th January 2024 at
17:00 CET for language sessions at International Congress of Arctic
Social Sciences XI. ICASS does not typically have a strong showing
from linguists, so we hope to change that next year! All linguistic
and applied linguistic work involving Arctic languages will be
considered for one of these sessions.

4.3.5 Language structure and language use in a changing Arctic

Convener:
Jessica Kantarovich

Arctic communities are currently the sites of rapid change, both
social and climatological: globalization, coupled with warming
temperatures, has made Arctic regions more accessible than ever
before. In particular, urban areas are seeing increasing numbers of
migrants in search of work as well as (eco-)tourists interested in
visiting the remote cities and landscapes of the Far North. Remote
Arctic areas are also increasingly "plugged in," with more reliable
access to the internet and, in turn, far-ranging modes of
communication and information-sharing. The result has been increasing
cultural and linguistic contact between Arctic peoples and outsiders
(i.e., speakers of majority languages), as well as among different
Arctic communities that are separated by enormous geographic
distances.

Differences in societal structure have long been thought to condition
differences in language structure and use, particularly when comparing
small-scale intimate societies and urban settings with ever-changing
social networks. This session invites papers that engage with the ways
that changing social ecologies are affecting all aspects of language
use in the Arctic, including (but not limited to) language structure,
multilingualism and translanguaging, and language identity and
ideology. Examples of potential topics might be contact-induced
change, code-switching, the emergence of new mixed languages,
linguistic landscapes, urban language/metrolingualism, and language
variation.

While submissions that relate to this session's theme about language
in the context of changing conditions in Arctic communities are
preferred, we welcome all submissions about the linguistic structure
of Arctic languages, from descriptive, anthropological, typological,
or formal perspectives.

4.3.4 Strengthening Indigenous language vitality in the Arctic

Convener:
Lenore Grenoble

In recognition of the importance of language to Indigenous identity
and culture, UNESCO has declared 2022-2032 the International Decade of
Indigenous Languages. In the Arctic, a significant percentage of the
population is Indigenous, and Arctic Indigenous languages are
experiencing considerable pressure due to a variety of factors. These
include climate change, economic development, and migrations (both
permanent and temporary), a massive increase in tourism and a massive
increase in internet availability, which introduces yet another
pathway for language entry. These factors combine to bring in more
speakers of majority languages, newcomers and outsiders who put
pressure on Indigenous residents to communicate in the national
language and/or English, the global lingua franca. Despite the
challenges they face, Arctic peoples are embracing use of their
languages and developing their languages to meet the needs of future
generations.

In this session we welcome papers that discuss methods for bolstering
Indigenous language vitality and sustainability, with attention to
both successes and challenges. Possible topics include (but are not
limited to): language revitalization, formal education programs, the
development of digital content, pedagogical and reference materials
aimed at increasing language knowledge, the role of literacy and
orthographies in bolstering language mechanisms for fostering language
use, and the implementation of L2 language programs for Indigenous
groups and outsiders.
