Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition; Sociolinguistics

Meeting Description:

A homogeneous, static standard language does not exist. This is
evident in the fact that language usage varies depending on regional
origin, age, situational context, and more – not only in spoken, but
also in written language. There is a wide range of variations in
written language, and it would be incorrect to assume that linguistic
norms apply uniformly in all writing contexts. However, in foreign
language teaching, whether for German or any other language, rules
must be conveyed, which are codified in the grammars, dictionaries,
and orthography of the respective language. How should this challenge
be addressed in language education? Another question to be discussed
in the context of this colloquium relates to how language variability
within the same language is constituted and how it is used in everyday
life. There are situational-pragmatic norms that we take for granted
and unconsciously follow in communicative situations. Language usage,
however, does not solely result from such expectations and anticipated
expectations (dt. ‘Erwartungserwartung’); we can also use language
performatively to mark our social position and, in the sense of
Bourdieu, increase our "symbolic capital." Or to put it in
interactional sociolinguistic terms: we have various language
identities that we can call on or construct in each situation. The
colloquium will explore this understanding of language identity, and
also consider the significance of language identity in the context of
multilingualism. At LingColl 2024, we welcome presentations that
discuss these aspects from the perspective of language education,
sociolinguistics, and multilingualism.
