Meeting Description:

The international conference Languages, Nations, Cultures: Pluricentric
Languages in Context(s) explores the complex relationships that exist between
languages, nations and cultures. In particular, it does so from the
perspective of pluricentric languages; languages that have more than one
national centre. While speakers from different nations may share a common
language, they may display different cultural preferences and norm
orientations, evident in divergent language use. By exploring pluricentric
languages in a variety of settings, ranging from the micro context of
interaction and practical activities, to the macro context of societal
institutions, the conference contributes to an increased understanding of the
communicative challenges involved when speakers of different (national)
varieties meet, despite being speakers of the same language. This is a
relevant question not least at a time when both educational providers and
business operators act more and more globally, across national boundaries.

By bringing together scholars who work from a variety of theoretical and
methodological perspectives, as well as representing a wide range of
languages, the conference also aims to stimulate and further our theoretical
understanding of the conditions that exist between different (national)
varieties of the same language and how nation and culture is constructed in
and through language.


Call for Papers:

We invite papers (20 mins.+ 10 mins discussion) based on empirical data and
theoretical and/or methodological contributions alike, and encourage papers
that represent interdisciplinary perspectives on issues of languages, nations
and contexts. We welcome contributions from a broad range of sociolinguistic
perspectives on pluricentric languages, including, but not limited to, the
following:

- Interactional perspectives (conversation analysis, interactional 
linguistics, interactional sociolinguistics)
- Intercultural and/or cross-cultural communication 
- Language attitudes
- Language policy and planning 
- Linguistic justice, ownership and responsibilities
- Non-dominant varieties of pluricentric languages
- Variational pragmatics
