Meeting Description:

This edition of the conference aims to bring together these strands
with a view to sharing and expanding knowledge on the topic of
language structures and practices.

Call for Papers:

The 8th edition of SUM puts forward a wide array of interdisciplinary
topics centred around language structures and practices in today’s
context marked by significant global shifts such as migration,
globalization, intercultural communication, and digitalization. The
chosen topic has stirred the interest of scholars involved in various
fields of research.

Linguists define language practices as the choices individuals make in
sound, word usage, and grammar, shaped by both conscious and
unconscious factors (Spolsky 2004: 9). In addition, our general
assumption is that “linguistic structure is not only shaped by how
speakers interact with each other and with the world they live in, but
also by external forces that are outside the control of individual
speakers or speech communities” (Busser 2015: 1).

Sociologists view language as an integral part of social life,
spanning negotiation, politics, and education (Schatski 2001: 70).
Sapir (1921: 221) emphasized the inseparable connection between
language and culture, echoing the sentiment that language exists
within the socially inherited fabric of our lives.

Education, particularly foreign language learning, focuses on
developing language skills in reading, writing, and oral
communication, emphasizing real-world application (Gee 2004, in Storto
et al. 2023: 3). The emerging field of neurodidactics delves into
brain research, exploring conditions that influence learning
(Elsenbaumer 2013: 3). Additionally, digital language practices
enabling global interaction through various digital media, such as
social networks and blogs, have begun shaping new language structures
reflective of our digital age (Androutsopoulos and Juffermans 2014).

This edition of the conference aims to bring together these strands
with a view to sharing and expanding knowledge on the topic of
language structures and practices. We welcome contributions from
scholars who theoretically or empirically address topics that could
cover, but are not limited to:

Language policies and practices
Morpho-syntactic/semantic/pragmatic language structures and practices
Societal evolution and language structures
Digital language practices
Culture and language practices
Socio-/psycholinguistic practices
Language practices and global connectivity
Translanguaging
Scholars from sociology, neurodidactics, intercultural studies, and
language instruction are encouraged to submit their contributions.
