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. Different languages and
language varieties, together with the place where we were born, grew up, and
where we live, are in fact important and interdependent factors that are
constitutive of our identity. In language interactions, these factors play a
key role in the processes of identifying with and distinguishing oneself from
other interlocutors.


Call for Papers:

Each Linguistic Colloquium workshop has a specific topic of interest. The 6th
edition will address the topics of oral communication and plurilingualism. We
welcome contributions that deal with orality and spoken language, focusing in
particular on oral communication in connection with:

- territorial multilingualism; this could also include aspects related to
migration;
- the positioning of speakers from a sociolinguistic or variational linguistic
perspective;
- communicative acts within a specific genre of private or institutional
communication, e.g. family talk, communication with public authorities,
medical practitioners, at school or university etc.;
- the linguistic features of spoken language from a phonetic-phonological,
lexical, morphological, syntactical, pragmatic, or interactional point of
view; this may also include a contrastive perspective;
- the learning and teaching of oral competences in the first, second or
foreign language;
- methodological challenges in research on oral communication and spoken
language.

Different languages and varieties in the Alpine region will provide the focal
points of the workshop; however, the workshop is also open to related topics
and projects.

Confirmed Keynote Speakers: Marcella Costa (University of Turin), Jan D. ten
Thije (Utrecht University)
