Meeting Description:

The annual Symposium About Language and Society, Austin (SALSA) is now
accepting submissions for April 10-11, 2020. 2020’s theme Texts in
Circulation: Language, Power, and Identity continues SALSA’s tradition of
promoting the study of language and its intersection with society. Originally
created through the joint efforts of students from the departments of
Linguistics, Anthropology, and Communication Studies at The University of
Texas, SALSA grew as a transdisciplinary conference through presentations from
a variety of fields, including foreign language education, educational
psychology, media studies, and the language departments of French & Italian,
Spanish & Portuguese, German, and English. SALSA’s annual proceedings appear
in special editions of the Texas Linguistic Forum.


Call for Papers:

The study of language and communication has focused on power and identity at
multiple levels of linguistic expression, such as: grammatical forms,
rhetorical strategies, and full discourses. Power and identity interact with
texts of any modality, including written, signed, spoken, gestured, and
visualized. We welcome papers from all disciplines which examine how power and
identity are expressed through the medium of texts, and explore questions such
as:
 
How are identities developed and expressed in different social situations?
How do language ideologies influence social behavior? 
What rhetorical and poetic resources in language reflect particular linguistic
or cultural groups? 
How can particular linguistic traditions and forms help us understand the
nexus of  language, culture, and the individual?
How can languages be revived, revitalized, and/or maintained through language
policies and planning?
In what ways do social media and other forms of mass media impact language use
and change?
How does political discourse transform societies?
