Anthropology, Cognitive Science, Literature, Neuroscience and
Psychology.

*PARASESSION* -- Phonetic Sources of Phonological Patterns:
Synchronic and Diachronic Explanations
The Parasession invites submissions on the role of phonetics in
shaping phonological patterns. Papers representing all views and
approaches are sought. Those addressing the relative merits of
synchronic and diachronic explanations of phonetically-motivated
phonological patterns are particularly welcomed.

From: Angela Reyes <reyesa at dolphin.upenn.edu>
Subject: Asian American Identities
CALL FOR ABSTRACTS for a Special Issue devoted to linguistic
anthropological/sociolinguistic research on Asian Pacific Islander
(API) Americans
"HETEROGENEITY, RELATIONALITY AND CIRCULATION: CONSTRUCTIONS OF ASIAN
AMERICAN IDENTITIES THROUGH DISCURSIVE PRACTICES"
Co-edited by
Angela Reyes, University of Pennsylvania
Adrienne Lo, University of California at Los Angeles
Papers should closely analyze empirically-gathered language use, and
be part of larger ethnographic projects in which discursive practices
are examined within their social contexts. Broad areas of concern are
the heterogeneity of API American communities, the spread and
commodification of Asian languages, and how the category of "Asian
American" is relationally positioned within wider American discourses
of race. Suggested topics include language and identity, discursive
constructions of race, ethnicity and gender, the circulation of Asian
(American) stereotypes, styling, passing and crossing. Papers should
be primarily devoted to discourse analysis, and draw on principled
methodological and theoretical foundations in linguistic anthropology
and/or sociolinguistics.
Please email 500-word abstract submissions by February 1, 2003 to
reyesa at dolphin.upenn.edu and alo at ucla.edu.
