[Linganth] Language, Indexicality and Belonging Conference - CALL FOR PAPERS

[LIB Conference]

*LANGUAGE, INDEXICALITY AND BELONGING*

LINGUISTIC ANTHROPOLOGY CONFERENCE

SOMERVILLE COLLEGE | UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD

7-8 April 2016
Please find attached a call for papers for the Language, Indexicality and
Belonging conference to be held at the University of Oxford in April
2016. This 1.5-day conference brings together leading scholars and
graduates in linguistic anthropology and related fields in order to explore
the relationship between languages and senses of belonging. Focus is placed
on the indexical character of language in the modern, changing world as
manifest in communicative practices that are impacted by social, political
and economic processes that bring different languages or forms of language
into contact. Participants in three dedicated conference panels will
examine how global, state, local and institutional aspects of belonging are
indexed through language, how these levels can be distinguished from one
another, and how linguistic anthropology and sociolinguistics can account
for related linguistic transformations.
