CALL FOR PAPERS · 2027_ The 2nd TaLS Workshop on Language and Society
Call for Abstracts | The 2nd TaLS Workshop on Language and Society
What makes being understood possible? Whose voices are heard, and whose contributions are misunderstood or overlooked?
The Taiwan Language and Society Research Network (TaLS) invites submissions for our 2027 workshop:
“Conditions for Being Understood: Language, Difference, and Social Participation”
We welcome contributions from the sociology of language, linguistic anthropology, sociolinguistics, conversation analysis, and related fields, including work that brings research into dialogue with practical experience. The theme provides a shared focus rather than a requirement: other research on the relationship between language and society is equally welcome.
Workshop: 14 May 2027
Venue: National Chengchi University, Taipei, Taiwan
Abstract deadline: 31 January 2027, 23:59 Taiwan time (UTC+8)
Notification: 28 February 2027
Submit an abstract in English of up to 500 words, with 3–5 keywords. The main text should fit on one A4 page; references, extracts, figures, and tables may appear on a second page. Presentations will be 20 minutes, followed by 10 minutes of discussion.
Scholars, graduate students, and language practitioners are all welcome. Contributors need not be based in Taiwan, and research need not focus on Taiwan.
Full call for papers and submission form (https://tals-2027-submissions.a552745.chatgpt.site/)
Please share the call with your friends, colleagues, and students—and consider submitting your own work too!
