Final Call for Papers:

We are pleased to announce the 28th Conference on Spanish in the United States
and 13th Conference on Spanish in Contact with Other Languages will be held in
person at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, TX (USA) from April 6-8,
2023.

The theme of the conference is: US Spanishes: Toward Standardization

In the last decade, US Spanish has received attention and recognition in
academic linguistic circles, but it has also established an undeniable
presence in all domains of public life in the United States. Media,
advertising, politics, economy, education, and culture have all seen a
substantial influx of Spanish. In this process, inevitably, certain structural
properties and bilingual practices are becoming informally standardized or
unofficially legitimized.

Does this suggest the need for establishing an official standard or standards?
If so, which structural properties and bilingual practices are headed toward
legitimization? Which individuals and institutions, if any, should be part of
these conversations and decision-making? And since standardization affects
many areas of life besides language, what would be the impact of an
institutionalized norm or norms on education, society, economy, and politics
given the global, highly mobile and multilingual context in which we live?

With this theme in mind, we would like to invite submission of papers that
investigate the tensions surrounding standard language, standardization, and
institutionalized normativity in a US context.

As is the conference tradition, we also welcome submission of papers in all
areas of language research related to any aspect of Spanish in the United
States or Spanish in contact with other languages, including but not limited
to the following:

bilingualism/multilingualism, educational policies and practices, formal
aspects of US Spanish, translanguaging, heritage language acquisition,
heritage language learning and teaching, third generation heritage Spanish,
language and identity, language and the law, language contact and change,
language ideologies, raciolinguistics, language in politics and politics of
language, language maintenance, shift and loss, language planning, language
policy, language rights, linguistic anthropology, linguistic variation, mass
media and Spanish, Spanish in the professions, Spanish and the economy.

words (excluding the title, with a second page reserved for tables, examples
