Meeting Description:

13th Historical Sociolinguistics Network Conference (HiSoN 2024)
5–7 June 2024 | University of Zurich (Switzerland)
Main organizers: Andreas Krogull | Daniel Schreier | Guido Seiler

Conference theme: Diversity and uniformity across time and space
Over the past decades, historical sociolinguistics has grown and
diversified considerably, contributing to our increasingly
multifaceted understanding of language histories. Two key themes that
have emerged as overarching research directions in the field are
linguistic diversity and linguistic uniformity. On the one hand,
historical sociolinguists have studied and uncovered many different
facets of linguistic diversity in past societies. These include
aspects of both individual and societal multilingualism, historical
settings of language contact and conflict, the social embedding of
language variation and change, and so on. Diversity in historical
sociolinguistics has also been foregrounded by drawing on sources from
different genres and domains, and by including language users,
networks and communities from a wide range of social backgrounds,
regions and periods. On the other hand, historical sociolinguistics
has a strong research tradition that focuses on linguistic uniformity.
Scholars in the field have addressed topics related to language
standardization processes, prescriptivism and purism, and of course
language norms more generally, as well as underlying ideologies and
beliefs. By investigating sociohistorical and linguistic developments
in different regions, periods and comparatively across languages, both
‘from above’ and ‘from below’, traditional models and theories of
standardization have been rethought and refined. While diversity and
uniformity may be considered as two opposite poles, they could equally
be interpreted as two complementary perspectives on language
histories. Therefore, in addition to research on either linguistic
diversity or uniformity, we warmly welcome submissions that tackle the
complex interplay between linguistic diversity and uniformity in times
past.

Call for Papers:

We invite suggestions for papers relevant to the field of historical
sociolinguistics in the broadest sense, that is, research dealing with
language and society in the past, preferably with a link to the
central conference theme of Diversity and uniformity across time and
space. Topics and (sub)disciplines might include, but are not limited
to:

- Language variation and change
- Historical multilingualism, language contact and code-switching
- Language maintenance, language shift and heritage languages
- Language standardization, norms, prescriptivism and purism
- Language policy and planning in the past
- Language ideologies, beliefs and attitudes
- Language history ‘from below’
- Text types, registers, genres and domains
- Methodological approaches and corpus linguistics
- Historical dialectology and geolinguistics
- Historical pragmatics and discourse analysis
- History of linguistics and history of language teaching.

*************

We welcome abstracts for two different formats (individual papers;
thematic panels):

Individual papers are formal presentations on original research by one
or more authors, which will be allotted 30-minute slots at the
conference (20 minutes for presentation plus 10 minutes for
discussion). Abstracts for individual paper presentations should not
exceed 500 words (incl. title and references).

Thematic panels, roundtables or workshops should follow the 30-minute
structure of the conference. We have a strong preference for shorter,
focused events (e.g. an introductory paper, 3-4 papers by different
contributors and a final discussion). Panel convenors are expected to
invite contributors and discussants in advance, and submit one full
proposal. This proposal includes the overall aims and rationale of the
event (max. 500 words), as well as the names, affiliations and short
abstracts of 200-300 words for each contribution (incl. introduction
and/or final discussion). Please note that panel convenors take active
responsibility for the quality of all contributions and are expected
to guide their invited participants through the formal process.

*************

Abstracts can be submitted via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/cfp/hison2024.

The deadline for submitting abstracts is 31 December 2023.

Authors will receive a notification of acceptance in February 2024.
