Meeting Description:

Rationale:
The increased use of digital tools and technologies in the past two
decades has revolutionized the way people access information,
communicate and interact. This rapid digitalization – embodied by the
rise of social media and online platforms, the increased need for
multilingual content creation and translation, and the emergence of
efficacious artificial intelligence – has created new challenges for
language management practices, at both micro and macro levels.

The symposium will focus on how digital technologies affect the
management of language and communication, that is, both the choice of
linguistic resources for communication and the multiple other
components of communication. The latter include – in the vein of Dell
Hymes – the management of the setting, participants, ends, act
sequence, key, instruments and so on, that is, for example, also the
ways people manage the use of digital tools in their private and
professional communication. At the same time, attention needs to be
paid to cultural, economic, political, safety and other interests
involved in such language management.

We welcome contributions from researchers, scholars, and practitioners
in linguistics, communication studies, computer science, sociology,
education, and related fields. Though the preferred theoretical
framework is Language Management Theory originated in the works of J.
V. Neustupný and B. H. Jernudd, other approaches are also welcome.
