Meeting Description:

The International Symposium on Language Ideologies and Attitudes
(IDEOLING) will be held at the Universitat de les Illes Balears on
October 18th and 19th, 2024. We are delighted to inform that our
invited speaker for IDEOLING will be Laura Villa (Universidad Autónoma
de Madrid). The Call for Papers is now open, and we are pleased to
provide you with all the information on this website. We encourage you
to submit your proposal by February 29, 2024.

Call for Papers:

Language ideologies and attitudes have been the focus of various
works, particularly in recent years, which have covered a diverse
range of topics. Studies have analysed language ideologies and
attitudes in language policy and planning (Blommaert, 2006; O’Rourke &
Hogan-Brun, 2013; Ó Giollagáin, 2014), other studies have focused on
how language ideologies and attitudes reflect power relations
(Kroskrity, 1998; Pujolar, 2001; Del Valle 2003; Gal, 2006, etc.) or
how they account for particular culturally-specific mental
representations (Irvine, 1998; Gal & Woolard, 2001; Woolard, 2016),
etc. In fact, the perspectives shown in the works range from critical
sociolinguistics to linguistic anthropology, without forgetting
glottopolitics. All of this has given rise to different theoretical
and methodological approaches to the topic and has led to a large
amount of varied and diverse research.

This diversity of approaches and the amount of research relating to
ideologies and attitudes has motivated us to organise the
International Symposium on Language Ideologies and Attitudes at the
University of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca, on October 18 and 19,
2024. The symposium aims to serve as a meeting place for various
researchers to share their work in this area, along with the
epistemological and methodological challenges it presents. Potential
avenues for research include (although they are not limited to):

    Epistemological and theoretical approaches to language ideologies
and attitudes (tensions between structure and agency, critical
realism, etc.)
    Language ideologies and attitudes and language policy and planning
(revitalisation language strategies, standardisation processes, etc.)

    Language ideologies and attitudes in education and language
learning (teachers’ language ideologies and attitudes towards minority
students, students’ attitudes towards language diversity, etc.)
    The effect of language ideologies and attitudes on language use
(linguistic insecurity, standard/non-standard varieties, shifting
registers, contact varieties, etc.)
    The influence of language ideologies and attitudes on language
variation and change (dialect shift/levelling, teaching language
variation and change in school environments, effects of gender roles
on linguistic patterns, adoption or rejection of specific
linguistic/lexical patterns, etc.)
    Language ideologies and attitudes of heritage speakers (language
maintenance, family language policy, language brokering, etc.)

We welcome contributions from different areas of study, such as
sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, glottopolitics, social
psychology, etc. We invite you to send applications for 20-minute
papers (to be followed by ten minutes of discussion). We ask that each
participant only submit one proposal as an individual or a maximum of
two proposals as a coauthor. The symposium will involve a keynote
lecture, presentations by participants, and a final colloquium that
will bring together the various contributions. The deadline for
submitting a proposal is February 29, 2024. The acceptance of
submissions will be sent during the month of May 2024. Proposals
should be sent via this form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQ
LScUN1gkn48rbIJqg2MKP6X16Qrgs1u8VWNqwXoTXdOg8WtDWQ/viewform  We
welcome oral presentations in English, Catalan and other languages. As
the main language of the symposium is English, we ask those presenting
in a language other than English to provide visual support for their
presentation in English (e.g. PowerPoint slides), and to be prepared
to discuss their work in English in the post-paper discussion.
