Aegean Working Papers in Ethnographic Linguistics

2nd Issue: ''Ethnographic Accounts of Linguistic Issues in the Yugoslav
Successor States''

Call for Papers

Ethnographic accounts have been central to debates on language questions
during and after the fall of Yugoslavia and the official disavowal of
Serbo-Croatian. The gradual dissolution of the pluricentric Serbo-Croatian
standard has been accompanied by active language policies in most of the new
nation states emerging after the breakup of the Socialist Federal Republic of
Yugoslavia, using linguistic features and public discussions about language
use as a matter of nation building and delimitation from the new neighboring
countries. However, these specific post-conflict incidents of the lingua
franca of the region --former Serbo-Croatian and present-day BCMS (Bosnian,
Croatian, Montenegrin, Serbian)-- are not the only areas of research which may
be observed in the region adopting an ethnographic perspective on language. A
rich history as well as a multilayered political, cultural and, undeniably,
linguistic everyday life in Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia,
Montenegro, Serbia, Kosovo, and Slovenia make these countries good case
studies for theoretical and empirical questions on the role of language in
people's everyday life.

The scope of the second issue of Aegean Working Papers in Ethnographic
Linguistics will be broad with regard to the issues covered, and yet specific
in its concentration on the region of former Yugoslavia - including not only
the countries where BCMS has always been spoken as a mother tongue, but also
Macedonia, Kosovo, and Slovenia, where Macedonian, Albanian, and Slovenian
have been used as mother tongues along with BCMS, allowing for one of the most
fascinating linguistic and cultural landscapes in Europe.

Work on (but not limited to) the following topics is especially welcome:

- the interaction of language and space
- language change and language contact
- national and state-based language politics (top-down)
- grassroots language politics (bottom-up)
- language and identity (national, ethnic, gendered, sexual, religious, etc.)
- language at the inner and outer borders of former Yugoslavia

The second issue of the AWPEL will appear in summer 2017. Roswitha
Kersten-Pejanić from Humboldt-University in Berlin will be the guest-editor of
this volume.

Papers will be peer-reviewed by specialists in the field and published in
accordance with the open-access online policies of the journal.

Abstracts (400-800 words) should be sent to roswitha.kersten at gmx.de by 13
February, 2017.
Draft papers (8500-9500 words) should be submitted for double blind review by
24 April, 2017.
