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. 

 
In 2022, HiSoN-2022 will be hosted by the University of Murcia, located in the touristic Region of Murcia on the south-eastern coast of Spain. The conference venue will be the Facultad de Letras, on the city centre university campus (Campus de La Merced).
 
Conference date
1st – 3rd June, 2022
 
Macro and Micro Perspectives in Historical Sociolinguistics will be the thematic orientation for our Murcia edition of the HiSoN conferences in 2022. Macroscopic research in Historical Sociolinguistics has traditionally been able to reconstruct the sociolinguistic contexts of language variation and change as occurred in remote periods largely at the inter-writer level of the speech community. Additionally, microscopic perspectives are focussing on individuals and their microcosm, which is complementarily enriching research through intra-writer designs.

              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.
