Meeting Description:

As ocularcentric animals, humans engage with the world primarily through our
eyes. Using language, i.e. languaging, is deeply mediated by the visual
modality. Although linguists since Saussure have traditionally regarded the
auditory channel of speech as primary in the study of language, in more recent
times we have also recognised the importance of visuality in languaging, for
example in our attention to computer-mediated textual communication,
multimodality, semiotic landscapes, embodied sociolinguistics, matched-guise
testing, sign language, translanguaging and raciolinguistics. Either in the
form of printed letters on a page and digital text-signs on a screen or in the
form of signifiers inscribed on and through our bodies, visuality plays an
important role in how we communicate with each other. And indeed, visuality
also seems of utmost importance as a methodological tool in the analysis of
languaging, when we think of phonetic symbols and spectrographs, transcripts
of interaction or graphs used in quantitative analysis of variation, for
example. In a word, we hear with our eyes, as much as we see with our ears. 

With this online conference, we aim to understand the intersections between
languaging and visuality. We take both a historical and a future-oriented
perspective to unite a wide range of engagements with language and visuality
under a new panorama that could be called visiolinguistics. This is an
approach that conceptualises our visual sense as deeply interconnected with
our auditory and articulatory organs.
