Linguistics and Language Studies in German Studies
The Linguistics and Language Studies Interdisciplinary Network of the
GSA invites papers on topics relevant to linguistics and language in
German Studies, broadly conceived. We seek to bring together
transdisciplinary approaches to the study of both the German language
in its various forms, periods, and functions and the study of minority
languages of historical and political relevance to German Studies. We
welcome papers from the diverse fields for which language is a central
object of analysis, including but not limited to:
 - applied linguistics
 - dialectology
 - historical linguistics
 - language pedagogy
 - linguistic anthropology philology
 - philosophy of language poetics
 - second language acquisition
 - semiotics
 - sociolinguistics
 - new forms and varieties of German (e.g., Kiezdeutsch, Namdeutsch)
 - stylistics
 - translation studies
We also welcome papers from any subfield that employs language as an
analytical tool through methodologies such as, but not limited to:
 - corpus-linguistic research
 - digital text analysis
 - discourse analysis
 - linguistic ethnography
 - narrative analysis
Please submit a 350 to 500-word abstract and a short bio or CV to
Jorge Clavo Abbass (clavoabbass.1 at buckeyemail.osu.edu) and Douglas
Lightfoot (lightfoot at ua.edu) by February 28, 2026. Please do not
hesitate to contact us if you have any questions.
