Meeting Description:

As a premier gathering of international sociolinguists, this biennial event
has emerged as a unique and innovative forum to develop and exchange new
ideas, broaden the scope of the discipline, and create new academic networks.
>From its beginnings as a small meeting of UK-based academics in 1976,
Sociolinguistic Symposium has grown into the largest sociolinguistic
conference in the world. Its Hong Kong edition will mark the conference’s
first appearance in Asia.

The theme of the conference is Unsettling Language. The contemporary world is
an unsettled place due to numerous conflict zones, forced migration, economic
imbalances and uncertainties, as well as ideological extremism resulting in
(or caused by) unsettling language emanating from powerful people, political
organizations, and the media. As a form of social action, this sort of
language requires serious, critical consideration, assessment and
counter-action.

Furthermore, the notion of ‘language’ itself is undergoing a critical
reassessment in how it is being theorized. Language is increasingly understood
as more than ‘just’ a set of linguistic resources. Its embodied nature, the
materiality of its modalities (speech and writing), interaction with other
modalities (sound, music, images, etc.), and with time and space, requires
integration of broader contexts of analysis, multimodal data sets, and
multidisciplinary approaches. We invite abstracts addressing the conference
theme as well as other contributions focusing on current and innovative themes
and theoretical challenges.
