Description:

This conference aims to zone in on the interface between history and linguistics, with a sharp focus on historical discourses on language and power. Power plays a central role in shaping social interactions and various forms of group membership. It enables the construction of insiders and outsiders in relation to ethnicity, social class, gender, religion and so on. From a historical perspective, in what ways has language been central to constructing, challenging and reconfiguring boundaries? Additionally, in what ways do contemporary discourses on language and power draw on historical events to justify or contest social practices? 

2nd Call for Papers:

Contributions are welcome from but not limited to the fields of sociolinguistics, historical linguistics, social history and cultural anthropology. 

The deadline for abstracts of 250-300 words (bibliography included) is 31 August 2013. Abstracts and queries about the conference should to be sent to the conference email address: hisonsheffield at gmail.com. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 31 October 2013.
