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.


Call for Papers:

For a short 15 min presentation, please submit 250-words abstracts in English
(excluding references).

In this workshop, we discuss the role of media in manifesting, representing,
and reifying identities, and what role language plays in this relationship. We
explore the role of genre, imagined audience, and media creator in language
use, and what implications media consumption has for our own perceptions of
identity and belonging. 

Topics that are particularly welcome:
- Relationships between language and sociocultural stereotypes
- Fictionalized and mediatized language varieties
- Genre, style, and medium
- Language, identity, and fan practices

January 16 Call for papers opens
February 10 Call for papers closes
