Meeting Description:

On Thursday, April 25, there will be a Sociolinguistics Symposium held at the
University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The focus for this symposium will
be ''Acts of Identity.'' Identity construction, as performative acts in the
intersection of race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, and nationality,
presents opportunities for us to theorize on language as the quintessential
human-social activity. This session invites abstracts that focus on various
semiotic practices --including but not limited to codeswitching,
stance-taking, lexical choice, script choice, and phonetic variation--of
identity-construction/meaning-making in different modalities (spoken, written,
visual).

Plenary Speakers:
Erica Britt (University of Michigan-Flint)
Sharese King (University of Chicago)
Krystal Smalls (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) 


Call for Papers:

Submissions are limited to two abstracts per author: one single-author
abstract and one multi-author abstract OR two multi-author abstracts. The
student must be the first author and presenter. Abstracts should be maximum
500 words, with one extra page allowed for images, data, and/or references.
Full references are not necessary; please use the (Author, Year) format.
Abstracts should be submitted in PDF format with no identifying information of
the presenter in the document.

Deadline for abstract submission: March 1, 2019, 11:59pm.
Authors will be notified of abstract decisions in late March, 2019.
