Topics might include, but are not limited to national reception of dialect/minority-language literature and verbal culture, dialects/diglossia and their role in group identity formation, the standardization of national and/or majority language(s) and its impact on national or regional politics, multilingualism and its negotiation and practice by the communities of use, use(s) of indigenous languages under transnational states, migration, translation studies, raciolinguistics, and language policy and planning. Dr. Maya Angela Smith, Associate Professor of French at the University of Washington, will deliver the keynote speech on”Senegalese in the Diaspora: What Sociolinguistic Interviews Can Tell Us about Language, Race, Mobility, and Belonging.”
