Meeting Description:

The theme of this conference, “Language and Religion,” draws on the universal
notion of a bond between speech and worship. This bond fosters group identity
and determines social roles. To the degree that language and religion shapes
self-identification as the basis for determining one’s membership in the
social group, it likewise establishes perspectives on those considered as
outsiders. One of the most significant indicators of this emic-etic
distinction involves the use of language appropriate to insiders that reveals
who is a member and who is not, such as in the classic example of the
shibboleth.  Areas of interest to the conference theme include, but are not
limited to, scholarly studies of liturgical language and speech acts,
religious diglossia, calques and traductology in sacred texts, religion as
political language, etc.

Venue: St. John’s University, New York City
Theme: Language and Religion
