CLASP V - Call for Papers (Deadline June 2)

 

CLASP V is the fifth multidisciplinary conference run by graduate students
that promotes the broad connections between culture, language, and society

array of national and international scholars from diverse countries and
sub-disciplines for the CLASP V conference this year in Boulder, CO.

 

The conference is open to students and faculty who are interested in
language, social practice, and interdisciplinary study. Abstracts for papers
covering topics in various areas of sociocultural linguistics are invited

traditions may include, but are not limited to:

 

Sociolinguistics, Linguistic anthropology, Narrative studies, Critical
discourse analysis, Conversation analysis, Language and identity, Discourse
pragmatics, Computer-mediated discourse, Ethnography of speaking

Language and literacy, Verbal art and performance, Bilingualism and
code-switching, Second language acquisition, Language and globalization,
Intercultural communication, Language socialization, Interactional

Best Graduate Student Paper in Culture, Language, and Social Practice

 

The winner of this competition will have their name mentioned in the
official conference program and will be offered a student plenary spot at
the conference. This student plenary will be approximately 45 minutes and
will provide an opportunity for the winner to share their research in more
depth than a typical presentation slot. Note however that the plenary spot
is a potential honor and depends on the quality of submissions received.

 

To be considered in the competition for the student plenary, authors
(graduate students only) should submit a paper of up to 8,000 words plus
references. Your submission email should indicate whether you would like to
be considered for a regular conference presentation if you do not win the
plenary spot.

 

Please email your (up to) 8,000 word-paper to clasp.abstracts at gmail.com
<mailto:clasp.abstracts at gmail.com>  by June 2nd, 2017. The paper should be
attached in Microsoft Word (.doc) or PDF format and should contain NO
information identifying the author(s) of the paper.
