*Diversity and Super-Diversity: Sociocultural Linguistic Perspectives*



*GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY, Washington D.C.,*

*March 13-14-15, 2015*



http://units.georgetown.edu/linguistics/gurt/2015/index.html







The objective of *GURT 2015* is to foster and advance a reflection on the
ways in which linguistic and communicative practices are affected by and
contribute to diversity and on the theoretical-methodological challenges
that accounting for such phenomena poses to sociocultural linguistics.



GURT invites papers that explore the connections between diversity and
linguistic/communicative practices. We are particularly (although not
exclusively) interested in the following topics:



·      The impact of diversity on sociocultural linguistic theory and
research methodologies

·      The relationships between diversity and hybridity in linguistic and
semiotic practices

·      Challenges and responses to linguistic and cultural diversity in
different institutional and non institutional domains

·      Diversity and the construction/negotiation of identities

·      The use of linguistic and other semiotic resources within new
practices involving diverse communities

·      Language policies and diversity issues in the public space

·      Diversity of genres, practices and participation frameworks in
mediated communication

·      Diversity and time/space scales



*Deadline for submission of abstracts*: October 15, 2014
