Meeting Description:

The Linguistic Colloquium Language, Region, Identity aims to foster scientific
exchanges within the Alpine region and beyond. It is specifically targeted at
young researchers (PhD students and post-docs). The colloquia, jointly
organised by a team from six universities and research centres in Austria,
Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, intend to offer a forum for discussing
current and recently concluded projects. The yearly editions are organised
around three keywords: language, region and identity. Different languages and
language varieties, together with the place where we were born, grew up, and
where we live, are in fact important and interdependent factors that are
constitutive of our identity. In language interactions, these factors play a
key role in the processes of identifying with and distinguishing oneself from
other interlocutors.


Final Call for Papers:

Following the successful workshops in Merano/Meran (Italy) in 2014, 2015,
2017, and in Innsbruck (Austria) in 2016, the 5th workshop for young academics
of the linguistic colloquium Language, Region, Identity (LRI) will be again
hosted at the Villa San Marco, Merano/Meran (Italy). The workshop, jointly
organised by a team from six universities and research centres in Austria,
Germany, Italy, and Switzerland, aims to foster scientific exchanges within
the Alpine region and beyond by offering a forum for discussing current and
recently concluded projects. The workshop will feature oral presentations of
20 minutes with a subsequent discussion time of 20 min.

Each Linguistic Colloquium workshop has a specific topic of interest. The 5th
edition will address the topics of writing and written language. We welcome
contributions that deal with written texts produced in everyday life. The
workshop is open to:

- synchronic research on digital and non-digital writing,
- diachronic research that focuses on the change of communication forms and/or
textual conventions over time,
- presentations which take the context of texts (e.g. following a linguistic
landscape approach) into account,
- presentations which address the positioning of the author of a text (e.g.
from a socio-cultural or variational-linguistic point of view),
- presentations which approach the topic from the scientific field of
multilingualism,
- presentations which discuss methodological challenges that arise when
researching script and writing in everyday life.

Different languages and varieties as well as the diversity of dialects in the
Alpine region will provide the focal points of the workshop; however, the
workshop is also open to related topics and projects.

Confirmed keynote speakers:

- Federica Guerini (University of Bergamo)
- Barbara Soukup (University of Vienna)
