Meeting Description:

The 85th Southeastern Conference on Linguistics (SECOL) will be held in
Blacksburg, Virginia at the Inn at Virginia Tech and Skelton Conference Center
on April 19-21, 2018. The theme is ''Crossing Borders'':

There are many borders that speakers orient to: state borders, dialect
borders, language borders, and social class borders, to name a few. Within the
South, these borders are changing as mobility across them increases. We hope
to spur conversations about how these borders are interpreted by various
individuals, and how language practices can interact with and across them. To
this end, we invite papers that focus on any aspect of language use that
crosses borders, though research findings in any subfield of linguistics are
welcome.

Our plenary speakers are:

Jennifer Cramer, University of Kentucky
Robin Dodsworth, North Carolina State University

We will also be screening ''Talking Black in America,'' a documentary by the
Language & Life Project After the viewing, the filmmakers will present about
instructional materials that can accompany the film.

SECOL is the oldest regional linguistic association in the US, and is
dedicated to the advancement of the study of language in all its aspects. The
annual spring conference provides a venue for SECOL members to read and
discuss scholarly papers. SECOL also publishes peer-reviewed articles and book
reviews in The Southern Journal of Linguistics. For more info on SECOL visit
www.secol.org.  


Call for Papers:

We invite papers that focus on any aspect of language use that crosses
borders, though research findings in any subfield of linguistics are welcome. 
We invite abstracts of up to 500 words, excluding title and references, for
20-minute presentations. Authors may submit up to two abstracts, one
individual and one joint. Abstracts will be subjected to double-blind review,
so author names should not appear anywhere on abstracts.

Abstract submission opens September 30, 2017. Electronic submission of
abstracts (.pdf or Word document) will be managed through Easy Abstracts. All
submissions must be received by 11:59pm (EST) on December 31, 2017.
