Meeting Description:

The Linguistic Colloquium Language, Region, Identity aims to foster
scientific exchanges within the Alpine region and beyond. It is
specifically targeted at young researchers (PhD students and
post-docs). The colloquia, jointly organised by a team from six
universities and research centres in Austria, Germany, Italy, and
Switzerland, intend to offer a forum for discussing current and
recently concluded projects. The yearly editions are organised around
three keywords: language, region and identity.

2nd Call for Papers:

The 7th edition of the LRI workshop series will address the topic of
"language and belonging". Despite often being equated with the notions
of identity and citizenship, the notion of belonging can capture
various different ways in which people may belong and form emotional
attachments. For several decades now, different fields of linguistic
research have tackled issues in relation to belonging with different
theoretical and methodological orientations. From variationist
sociolinguistics, which has attempted to work out how certain
linguistic features pattern around people’s belonging to certain
places, social classes or genders, research on language and belonging
received important contributions from orientations such as
Sociolinguistic Ethnography or Discourse Analysis that have conceived
of belonging as a resource that people employ strategically to
construct, claim or resist forms of social inclusion or exclusion.

We welcome contributions that deal with language and belonging in
relation to various intertwined social categories and groups (genders,
social status, (sub)cultural groups, nationalities, professional
groups, etc.) and investigate:
• how belonging is expressed, perceived, negotiated, resisted and
contested,
• how categories and groups of belonging form, change and dissolve
over time and in different spaces,
• how belonging links to authority, ownership and power,
• how the relation between language and belonging can be
conceptualised and tackled methodologically.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers:
Rita Vallentin (University of Frankfurt (Oder)): “Doing Belonging:
Linguistic Practices, Materialities and Temporal Trajectories”

Florian Busch (University of Bern): “Chronotopische Zugehörigkeiten
und mediatisierter Sprachgebrauch: Biographie und Repertoire in
alltäglicher Smartphone-Kommunikation”
