University of Limerick, Ireland with the focus on Language(?) in the

Call For Papers
4th International Language in the Media Conference
Language(?) in the Media(?): Rethinking the Field
Monday 6th to Wednesday 8th June 2011, University of Limerick, Ireland
Conference Theme
Following on from the previous three conferences, the fourth language in
the media conference seems like a good occasion to take stock of our focus
and revisit some of our basic concepts. Given the mundanity of media as an
unremarkable and integrated part of everyday life, does it still make sense
to delineate particular domains and activities as 'media'? Similarly, given the
inherent multimodality of contemporary media and the continuing
deconstruction of 'language' as a monolithic concept within sociolinguistics,
can and should we continue to mark out and focus on a particular set of
practices as 'language', and if so, how? With these questions in mind, we
invite you to submit abstracts for papers which explore the representation,
construction and/or production of language in the media, but in a way which
questions and problematises both 'language' and 'media'. One particular
area which seems to be ripe for this type of rethinking is that of minority
languages and media, and given the location of the conference in Ireland
and the interests of the local organisers, we would like to call in particular
for papers which address this topic in an innovative and paradigm-shifting
way. Alongside this particular focus, the 2011 conference will continue to
prioritize papers which address the following types of contexts/issues:
standard languages and language standards;
literacy policy and literacy practices;
language acquisition;
multilingualism and cross-/inter-cultural communication;
language and communication in professional contexts;
language and class, dis/ability, race/ethnicity, gender/sexuality and age;
media representations of speech, thought and writing;
language and education;
political discourse;
language, commerce and global capitalism.
