A speaker’s hometown, birthplace, neighborhood, region, or country may be
key, if not primary, factors in their self-identity, often in interaction
with other social factors such as gender, ethnicity, or political
affiliation. While region or geography is sometimes taken for granted in
linguistic work, recent research has highlighted the complexity of the
ways in which speakers use language to orient towards place, demonstrating
that linguistic practice does not merely reflect place, but also
constructs it.
Locating Language: A Symposium on the Linguistics of Place invites
dialogue about the relationship between language, place, and identity from
both well-established researchers and new voices. The format of the
symposium will mix traditional presentations with extended
question/discussion periods.
HOSTED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF LINGUISTICS, THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY
