Linguistic Field(s): Applied Linguistics

Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2023

Meeting Description:

The conference focuses on the topic of language documentation from the
various perspectives offered by different ‘minority’ situations
(migrant languages, minority languages, dialects). Its aim is to
provide an interdisciplinary look at a topic which is today the focus
of renewed interest, both in epistemological and theoretical terms.

On an epistemological level, the increasing need to document the
unprecedented super-diverse linguistic reality inherent in migrant and
transit communities, which is typically associated with the field of
investigation classified as linguistic documentation, has the
inevitable consequence of broadening the spectrum of associated
disciplines (contact linguistics, sociolinguistics, variational
linguistics, …) and of the themes with which it intersects (language
attrition, language contact, contact-independent innovations, …).

At a purely methodological level, new technology has made possible
remote and virtual investigations, using digital resources and
platforms, making it reasonable to ask what the future might be for
methods such as participant and participatory observation,
documentation of communicative practices within communities, and
descriptions of the cultural practices associated with written and
oral forms of communication.

The conference will accept proposals on the following key themes:

- Language documentation and language contact

- Language documentation in superdiverse and urban settings

- Language documentation of linguistic minorities, of dialects, of
heritage languages

- Language documentation and new technologies

- Corpora and annotation (speech, gestures, …)

- Standardization of minority languages

- Ethnography, anthropology and linguistic documentation

- Language documentation from a multimodal perspective

Interested parties should send an abstract of 500 words (in Word or
pdf format) to margherita.disalvo at unina.it by no later than April
15th. The abstracts will be evaluated by the Scientific Committee and
notification of acceptance will be communicated by May 15th.
