Meeting Description:

The contemporary sociolinguistic situation in the Arctic calls for an
engagement with language ideologies and inequality, examining the
diverse and unpredictable ways in which language form part of everyday
inequalities. The LIIA conference invites papers examining and
discussing issues within this context. Research presented at the
conference does not have to be directly based on work in the Arctic
area, but it should be clear how it is relevant to these contexts.

Call for Papers:

Language ideologies and inequality with a perspective on the Arctic
(LIIA)
International conference at Ilisimatusarfik (University of Greenland),
Nuuk, Greenland
23-24 May 2024

The Arctic is a site of huge sociolinguistic changes. Historically,
different types of migration have led to complex sociolinguistic
situations with language ideologies and policies, implicitly or
explicitly, supporting certain linguistic practices while suppressing
others. This is evident in the way colonial powers have sought to
install certain languages as legitimate, e.g. through processes of
standardization, while others have been constructed as inferior and
perhaps even uncivilized and unfit for modern life. In many Arctic
regions indigenous languages are no longer the unmarked everyday
language, but this does not mean that they have lost their importance
as markers of identity and belonging, and at the same time, these
languages and dialects can gain new meaning and value. The linguistic
situation in the Arctic is furthermore impacted by modern processes of
globalization, mobility, and language contact, leading to new complex
sociolinguistic situations. Long distance labor migration to e.g.
Sápmi or Greenland leads to the presence of languages such as Arabic
and Tagalog, whereas English is ubiquitous as the global lingua franca
and as a prominent everyday language in many aspects of modern life,
also in the Arctic.
The contemporary sociolinguistic situation in the Arctic calls for an
engagement with language ideologies and inequality, examining the
diverse and unpredictable ways in which language form part of everyday
inequalities. The LIIA conference invites papers examining and
discussing issues within this context. Research presented at the
conference does not have to be directly based on work in the Arctic
area, but it should be clear how it is relevant to these contexts.
