SALSA XXV:

Language Contact and Multilingualism

April 14-15, 2017 at University of Texas at Austin

The Symposium About Language and Society (SALSA) is an annual symposium
promoting linguistic, linguistic anthropological and communication research
at the University of Texas at Austin. Originally created through the joint
efforts of students from the Linguistic, Anthropology and Communication
Studies Departments at the University of Texas, SALSA has developed into an
interdisciplinary conference with contributions from various fields,
including foreign language education, educational psychology, media
studies, and numerous language departments. Our annual proceedings appear
in special editions of Texas Linguistic Forum.

This year’s theme is Language Contact and Multilingualism. We look at
contact broadly as the point where different languages and cultures come
together and influence one another. We want to examine language contact
throughout history and how it has shaped the present day languages in a
variety of contexts and outcomes. Through this perspective we examine
questions such as how does language contact impact bilingual and
multilingual societies? How does contact affect methods of communication?
How do intersecting cultures influence language use? What types of language
ideologies influence and arise out of this contact situation? How has
contact impacted the relationship between identity and language? In a world
where contact is seemingly everywhere, how do we understand the
particularities of different contact situations? How is contact encoded in
the features of the languages in contact? How do social media and other
forms of mass media impact contact? What role does contact play in projects
of revitalization and documentation of languages? SALSA XXV seeks to
explore these questions and more in order to contribute to literature in
linguistics, anthropology, communication sciences, and interdisciplinary
fields such as media, queer, critical race, area, and women's and gender
studies.

The committee of SALSA XXV welcome papers from all disciplines; potential

   -
