SUMMARY:Purity in Minoritised Languages
DESCRIPTION:\nAn International Conference at the Europa-Universität Flensburg\nJune 19-21, 2025\nOrganized by the Institute for Frisian Studies and Minority Research ( https://www.uni-flensburg.de/en/frisian ), with the generous support of the Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, Bonn), the Centre for Smaller and Regional Languages (KURS, EUF) and the Interdisciplinary Centre for European Studies ( https://www.uni-flensburg.de/en/ices?sword_list%5B0%5D=ices&no_cache=1 ) (ICES, EUF) at the University of Flensburg, as well as the European Centre for Minority Issues ( https://www.ecmi.de/ ) (ECMI, Flensburg).\n\n\nOrganising Committee:\nNils Langer (Flensburg, Germany), Silvia dal Negro (Bolzano/Bozen, Italy), Henrik Rosenkvist (Göteborg, Sweden), Jeff Williams (Texas Tech, USA)\n\n\n\n\nWhat the conference is about\n\n\n\n\nPlenary Speakers:\nProf. Aneta Pavlenko (York): Language ideologies and mobilization of emotions in public discourse\nDr James Hawkey (Bristol): Never to be touched, never to be changed”: Purism, variation and stancetaking among speakers of Esperanto.\nProf. Julia Sallabank (SOAS London): ‘What are we saving?’ Experiences from Guernsey and Cornwall\nA key issue in the study of language policy and planning is to describe – theoretically and practically – the language to be promoted or protected. This often presupposes an essentialist perspective of language: languages are seen to exist as uniform or mono-dimensional entities.  It is considered possible to determine what counts and does not count as part of a particular language, with sociolinguistic variation considered to be disturbing and language contact seen as potentially damaging. Notions of purity are invoked implicitly or explicitly to distinguish between what is core to a language and what is peripheral. What appears uncontroversial in everyday life is highly problematic in the systemic and social study of linguistics. This conference seeks to delve deeper into the fundamental nature of this problem by focusing on minoritized and minority languages. We welcome papers on\n\nPurity: does purity play a part in linguistic discussions, how is purity understood or defined, what reasons are suggested to justify excluding certain features from a language\nNorm: how did a linguistic feature shifted from being normal to being the norm; who are the authorities to determine what a norm is and how do norms find their way into actual language use\nBig vs. Small Languages: are there tangible differences between discourses of purity on hegemonic and minoritized languages or varieties?\nPopular Discourse: How do speaker communities, gatekeepers, and the general population in an area perceive or evaluate the existence of minoritized languages, their changes to social status and in the linguistic properties of a language\nActivism and Documentation: how are issues of essentialism and purity factors in the documentation and promotion of minoritized languages?\n\nThe overarching aim of this conference is to explore dynamics of norm-setting and norm-transmission as means to change the status and use of linguistic features. To allow for good comparison between case studies, contribution should focus on minoritized varieties and languages and make refers to the applicability – or non-applicability – of the notion of purity.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProvisional Programme\n\n\n\n\nRegistration and Payment\n\n\n\n\nTravel, Venue and Accommodation\n\n\n\n\nLunch, Reception, Conference Dinner & Excursion\n\n\n\n\nProceedings\n\n\n\n
