Slavic Sociolinguistics at AAASS: Call for Papers

[Curt F. Woolhiser]

Dear Colleagues:

I am organizing a roundtable on "New Directions in Slavic Sociolinguistics" at
AAASS in Boston, Dec. 4-7, 2004, and am looking for two to three additional
participants. Presentations for this roundtable should discuss research which
applies recent innovations in sociolinguistic theory and methodology in the
study of language variation and change in the Slavic-speaking world. Of
particular interest are presentations relating to the following areas:
variationist approaches to social dialectology; socio-historical linguistics;
gender linguistics; sociopragmatics; ethnography of communication; social
psychology of language; folklinguistics and perceptual dialectology; language
ideology; and applications of sociolinguistic research in foreign language
pedagogy. Presentations discussing the use of new theoretical frameworks and
methodologies in the study of more traditional topics in Slavic
sociolinguistics (language planning and policy, bilingualism and language
contact), and those addressing metatheoretical issues, such as the relevance of
western sociolinguistic models to (post-)socialist societies in eastern Europe
and Eurasia, are also welcome.
     If you are interested in participating in the roundtable, please e-mail me
a brief summary of the topic of your proposed presentation, together with the
information requested on the CV form on the AAASS website (http://
www.fas.harvard.edu/~aaass/), by January 14th.

Best regards,

Curt Woolhiser
