Meeting Description:

INAR 5: Contrasting Address

The fifth workshop/conference of the International Network of Address Research
is taking place in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England on 5-7 June 2019.

Themes:

As in previous workshops, we welcome abstracts on all aspects of address and
address research, but this year we would like to pay special attention to
contrastive studies about address in two or more languages. In addition, we
continue to be keen to hear papers about less well known and less widely
described languages.

Venue:

The workshop is taking place in the Humanities Research Institute of the
University of Sheffield. Information about hotel accommodation and other
arrangements will follow in due course. 

About INAR:

The International Network of Address Research is an informal network of
scholars researching and writing about address in the world’s languages. We
consider all forms of language that are used to address an interlocutor as our
object for research. This includes pronominal forms, verb forms such as
imperative or addressee honorific forms, nominal address such as kinship
terms, titles and honorific nouns, and terms of endearment and abuse. Address
related phenomena such as salutations, address forms used in generic meaning
and address-derived discourse markers are wider fields of interest. 

The inaugural INAR workshop took place in Berlin in 2013, followed by
Hildesheim (2014; where the acronym was coined), College Station (2015) and
Helsinki (2017). There is no formal infrastructure for the network and anyone
who wishes to be on the circulation list, which is maintained by Leo
Kretzenbacher in Melbourne, is deemed to be a member. Leo is also the
webmaster of a website linked to the network (inarweb.wordpress.com). Topics
in Address Research (TAR) is an occasional series published by John Benjamins
in Amsterdam. The first volume is in print. 

Address research has also been covered at other international conferences,
such the Sociolinguistics Symposium and IPrA, which regularly host panels on
the subject, and the regular international conferences on address in Spanish
and Portuguese. There will also be a panel on address at the international
conference Languages, Nations, Cultures: Pluricentric Languages in Context(s)
at Stockholm University (22–24 May, 2019).

2nd Call for Papers:

Reminder: We are still inviting abstracts for papers (300 words max. plus
references) to be submitted by 1 December 2018 via the Linguist List Easy Abs
