Meeting Description:

The nature of interaction between language and identity is a central topic in
today’s academic discourse in numerous fields, including linguistics,
psychology, education, media, and political science. The complexity and
urgency of the topic has resulted in a number of approaches and methodologies
aimed at the detection and investigation of features of identity, ranging from
approaches informed by sociolinguistics and anthropology to those rooted in
developmental and social psychology. Today, while simultaneously exploring the
particularities of mechanisms of identity expression in and through language,
linguistics identity research also informs approaches to multicultural
education, language policy, and language in the workplace. 

In this workshop series, we focus on building common ground between various
approaches to identity and language, forming a cross-disciplinary view on such
fundamental issues as levels of identity (personal, relational, or
collective), identity stability and fluidity, the broader nature of identity
(discovered or constructed), and identity and language in the context of
digitization and globalization. These workshops aim to present a diachronic,
multidisciplinary view on approaches to language and identity in a variety of
linguistic contexts and traditions. We also welcome researchers investigating
the interaction between language and identity from the perspectives of media,
political science, psychology, healthcare, and history. 

The workshop series opens with an event aimed at discussing the fundamentals
of language and identity from a theoretical perspective. They will be followed
by workshops focusing on the interaction between language and identity in
media and communication, education policy, and linguistic landscape.

Each workshop will open with a keynote lecture followed by a discussion.  Each
workshop aims to discuss several short papers on the topic.

Workshop I: Theory and Methods of Linguistic Identity

Keynote Lecture: 
Professor Li Wei (University College London), Transpositioning: a New Take on
Translanguaging and Identities

Keynote Abstract:
This talk extends the concept of translanguaging by looking at transitional
mutilinguals’ journey of Transpositioning – a process where people break from
their pre-set or prescribed roles and switch perspectives with others, through
communicative practices such as translanguaging and transmodalities, by
releasing one’s self from conventions and fostering a greater sense of
possibility, freeing ourselves from habitual thinking, and building empathy
for others involved in the process. Transpositioning highlights the multiple
and interwoven layers of emplacements and positionings that are entailed in
communications which cross and transcend the boundaries that have historically
shaped our thinking about the world and its inhabitants. Transpositioning
requires border thinking, i.e. thinking from the outside, using alternative
epistemological traditions and alternative languages of expression.
Methodological implications of taking a transpositioning perspective on doing
identity in a diverse and ever-changing world will be discussed.


Call for Papers:

In this workshop, we are aiming to present up-to-date approaches to linguistic
identity and multilingualism. Focusing on linguistic identity as emerged
through various forms of natural speech, we will discuss how transnationalism,
migration, pandemic, and digital communication affect linguistic identities.

Presentations will be 15 minutes.
