Meeting Description:

The Western Conference on Linguistics is an annual conference held in rotating
locations in the western part of the United States and Canada since 1988. In
addition to papers accepted in all sub-fields of linguistics, the 2017
conference will host a special session on Language and Displacement.

Invited Speakers:

Martha Bigelow (University of Minnesota)
Christine Sims (University of New Mexico and Linguistics Institute for Native
Americans)


Final Call for Papers:

Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks (with 10 minutes for discussion) or
poster presentations on any aspect of theoretical, experimental, documentary
or applied linguistics. Abstracts addressing issues related to displacement
and language are especially welcome.

Special Session 1: Language and Displacement

Displacement, or forced migration, can manifest in myriad ways including the
removal of indigenous people from their homelands, exile, and refugee
resettlement, and has been shown to have traumatic effects not only on the
people who are physically displaced but also on following generations. We also
conceive displacement more broadly to include not only physical, but also
generational, social, ecological, and cultural displacement and its impact on
identity and community. Of course, the effects of displacement on language may
be devastating in any of these conceptualizations.

We are seeking abstracts addressing issues of language and displacement as can
be seen through studies of:

- Language and identity
- Language documentation and revitalization
- Ethnographic accounts
- Community and civic engagement
- Language education

Special Session 2: Undergraduate Research

We would like to extend a special invitation to undergraduate students in
linguistics interested in submitting abstracts for paper or poster
presentations in any sub-field of linguistics. In addition to their
presentations, we will be hosting a professional development session as well
as several social activities, sponsored by the Boise State Linguistics
Association.

Submissions are limited to one individual and one joint abstract per author.
All abstracts should be in English, and submitted in PDF format at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wecol2017 (free account required).
Abstracts should be limited to one page (using 1-inch margins on all sides and
11pt font size) with an optional additional page containing examples and
references.

Non-standard fonts and software should be avoided and all fonts should be
embedded in the PDF document. The papers presented at WECOL 2017 will be
eligible for publication in the official proceedings of the conference.

Submission Deadline: May 7, 2017
Notification of Acceptance: June 30, 2017
Early Registration Opens: June 30, 2017
