Meeting Description:

The Ohio State University's Slavic Linguistics Forum and Department of Slavic
and East European Languages and Cultures is happy to announce the first annual
DSEELC Linguistics Symposium, a conference which will feature work by scholars
at different career points working on language as it is spoken outside what it
is traditionally considered its ''homeland''.

It is often taken for granted that national boundaries delineate linguistic
boundaries. However, languages are not circumscribed by political borders. We
therefore invite scholars working in contact linguistics, bilingualism,
heritage language, immigrant language, sociolinguistics, dialectology,
historical linguistics, second language acquisition, and related fields to
submit abstracts pertaining to the study of language as spoken elsewhere than
what is considered its traditional “homeland.”

We are also very happy to announce that our keynote speaker will be Dr. Renee
Perelmutter, Associate Professor of Slavic and Jewish Studies at the
University of Kansas. Dr. Perelmutter’s research interests include Yiddish and
Slavic morphosyntax and pragmatics, (im)politeness, identity construction, and
women’s online discourse. Her current research focuses on Israeli Russian
conflict discourse, code-switching, and language/prestige issues.

Call for Papers:

Abstracts in the following fields are also welcome, provided they fall within
the scope of the Symposium theme: phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax,
semantics, pragmatics, discourse analysis, conversation analysis,
psycholinguistics and computational linguistics.

We encourage scholars working in both formal and functional frameworks to
participate in this event. Interdisciplinary projects from scholars in related
fields such as anthropology, sociology, geography, psychology, history, and
comparative studies are welcome, as far as they are related to the study of
language away from the homeland. Undergraduates are also welcome to apply to
the Symposium.

Each presentation will be allowed 20 minutes plus 10 minutes for discussion.
Please send  abstracts (maximum 500 words excluding references) to Ekaterina
Kibler (kibler.76 at osu.edu) by November 1, 2016. The abstracts should be
anonymous. Please include your name, affiliation, mailing address, and email
address in the body of the email. Accommodation with local graduate students
will be available.

If you have any questions, please contact the organizers.

Organizers:

Ekaterina Kibler (kibler.76 at osu.edu)
