*Call for Papers: Linguistic Geography*
AAG Annual Meeting in Denver, 23 March–27 March, 2023

Organizer: Greg Niedt
*Deadline for abstracts*: Sunday, 30 October, 2022

The Linguistic Geography sessions at AAG draw on interdisciplinary
connections—human geography and linguistic anthropology, sociology and
media studies—to consider how language and discourse shape conceptions of
space and place. What things do we say about places that shape our
attitudes towards them? How do the communities that inhabit them use
language(s), from signage to graffiti, in official policy and everyday
conversation, to express themselves or make claims to a place? The session
is intended to show how questions like this can enrich geography work in a
wide variety of spaces, as well as amplify the voices of the people and
communities who occupy them.

(The work of Yi-Fu Tuan has been especially influential on this approach to
the field; in light of his passing, this session is dedicated in his
memory.)

*Call for participation:*
The call is open for any researchers investigating topics such as language
and space, linguistic landscapes (language use in public spaces), language
and power, ethnophysiography, toponymy, dialectology, linguistic
cartography, metageography, and the representation of places in discourse.
Presenters are especially encouraged to consider how their work aligns with
the annual theme, "Toward More Just Geographies," and its focus on "the
spatial dimensions, scope, and scale of racial and social justice, as well
as obstacles to its realization."

Please send your abstract to Greg Niedt at gniedt at pobox.pafa.edu by *Sunday,
30 October* if you would like your paper to be considered for the session.
When emailing, please also indicate whether you plan (at this point) to *attend
in-person or virtually*; advance notice will be needed to set up the
session as a hybrid. (Note that participants must also register for the
conference and submit their abstract to AAG's session gallery by *Thursday,
10 November*; see https://www.aag.org/events/aag2023/ for more details.)
And of course, feel free to send this call to others who might be
interested!

Cheers,
Greg Niedt (organizer)
