This conference explores the role of asymmetric communication in
ancient societies, focusing on how power imbalances, status
differences, and socio-cultural hierarchies shaped modes of
interaction. We welcome contributions from scholars working in the
fields of Register Studies, Historical Linguistics and related
disciplines, who analyze these dynamics through linguistic, visual,
and contextual perspectives.
