7th LRI Workshop for Early-Career Researchers
Language and Belonging
Merano/Meran, 6-7 June 2024
Call for Papers

Following the successful workshops in Merano/Meran (Italy) in 2014,
2015, 2018, 2019, and in Innsbruck (Austria) in 2016, the 7th workshop
for early-career researchers of the linguistic colloquium Language,
Region, Identity (LRI) will be hosted again at the Villa San Marco,
Merano/Meran (Italy). The workshop, jointly organised by a team from
six universities and research centres in Austria, Germany, Italy, and
Switzerland, aims to foster scientific exchanges within the Alpine
region and beyond by offering a forum for discussing current and
recently concluded projects. The workshop will feature oral
presentations of 20 minutes with a subsequent discussion time of 20
min.

Each Linguistic Colloquium workshop has a specific topic of interest.
The 7th edition will address the topic of language and belonging.
Despite often being equated with the notions of identity and
citizenship, the notion of belonging can capture various different
ways in which people may belong and form emotional attachments. For
several decades now, different fields of linguistic research have
tackled issues in relation to belonging with different theoretical and
methodological orientations. From variationist sociolinguistics, which
has attempted to work out how certain linguistic features pattern
around people’s belonging to certain places, social classes or
genders, research on language and belonging received important
contributions from orientations such as Sociolinguistic Ethnography or
Discourse Analysis that have conceived of belonging as a resource that
people employ strategically to construct, claim or resist forms of
social inclusion or exclusion.

We welcome contributions that deal with language and belonging in
relation to various intertwined social categories and groups (genders,
social status, (sub)cultural groups, nationalities, professional
groups, etc.) and investigate:

    how belonging is expressed, perceived, negotiated, resisted and
contested,
    how categories and groups of belonging form, change and dissolve
over time and in different spaces,
    how belonging links to authority, ownership and power,
    how the relation between language and belonging can be
conceptualised and tackled methodologically.

Conference Venue: Academy of German-Italian Studies, Villa San Marco,
Merano/Meran (Italy)
