HiSoN-2022
11th Historical Sociolinguistics Network Conference 2022
Welcome to the website of HiSoN 2022, the eleventh international conference of the Historical Sociolinguistics Network (HiSoN). The HiSoN conferences were begun in 2003 by a group of historical sociolinguists who saw the need for a forum to discuss research findings and to debate theoretical and methodological issues concerning language from a socio-historical perspective.
HiSoN-2022 invites contributions that call for interdisciplinary approaches to historical sociolinguistic phenomena and apply macro- or/and micro- perspectives to the individual and/or to the community focussing on:
- Koineisation and new dialect formation (in the past)
- Hispanic historical sociolinguistics
- Historical cognitive sociolinguistics
- Historical dialectology and geolinguistics
- Historical discourse analysis
- Historical language contact and multilingualism. Code-switching
- Historical pragmatics
- History of the discipline
- Language and gender (in the past)
- Identity and prestige patterns
- Language birth (pidgins and creoles) and language death (in the past)
- Language history 'from below'
- Language ideology
- Language policy in the past
- Linguistic attitudes in history
- Methodology and the use of corpora
- Norms, standardisation, purism and prescriptivism
- Registers, genres and text-types (in the past)
- Third-wave historical sociolinguistics: intra-speaker variation and communities of practice
- Variationist sociolinguistics: inter-speaker variation (age, gender, class, social networks…)
- Etc.
In addition to this major trend, contributions to any of the directions within the spectrum of the socio-historical linguistic paradigm are welcome.
