Three upcoming Conferences.

[joshua raclaw]

here are three upcoming conferences aimed at language use in general, but look
like they'd be very open to work done within CMC.

The Southwest Popular Culture Association is actually devoting a large portion
of this year’s conference to language and society, with a call for papers
specifically dealing with Language and the Media, Language and Gender, Language
in Advertising, Language and Law, Code-switching, Dialects, Conversation
analysis, Discourse analysis, and Language and education .

There’s room in those categories for any number of research proposals dealing
with CMC.  The deadline for abstracts is coming up in November, and I believe
they’re still accepting proposals for panel discussions if anyone is interested
in getting something together.  More information on the conference can be found
here:

The conference on Directions in English Language Studies is having a call for
abstracts dealing with future directions in English Language research – it
could be good for anyone studying Anglophone speakers. The deadline is Oct 31,
though, so act quick!

There’s a conference on language attitudes coming up, hosted by the Popular
Culture Association - there’s a lot waiting to be done on linguistic norms and
ideologies up in CMC, and a working paper here might be a nice starting point.
The deadline for abstracts is also coming up pretty soon in early November.
