Ordinariness + Innovation<\/h2>\n

Conversely, through a contemplating of what ordinariness entails or how it is imposed, the complex natures of communities, patterns, and hierarchies are often interrogated. Continued explorations of ordinariness and innovation across ecologies, landscapes, platforms, modalities, pedagogies, disability and neurodiverse cultures are required to further critical assessments for theory and application. Considerations of languages on the periphery \u2013 indigenous and migrant, minority and endangered \u2013 including engagement with everyday policy and practice, and development of innovative technologies, are particularly timely, in light of the UN\u2019s International Decade of Indigenous Languages (2022-2032).<\/p>\n

As a premier gathering of international sociolinguists, the biennial Sociolinguistics Symposium has emerged as a unique and innovative forum to develop and exchange new ideas, broaden the scope of the discipline, and create new academic networks. From its beginnings as a small meeting of UK-based academics in 1976, it has grown into the largest sociolinguistic conference in the world.<\/p>\n

The 25th Sociolinguistics Symposium (SS25) \u2013 the conference\u2019s first appearance in Australia, on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja [Perth land of Noongar people] \u2013 explores diverse manifestations of Ordinariness and Innovation.<\/p>\n

Innovation in language practice is increasingly celebrated, at times even romanticised \u2013 however this inadvertently invents the linguistic Other through exoticising the ordinary epistemologies of language. Conversely, through a contemplating of what ordinariness entails or how it is imposed, the complex natures of communities, patterns, and hierarchies are often interrogated. Continued explorations of Ordinariness or Innovation across ecologies, landscapes, platforms, modalities, pedagogies, disability and neurodiverse cultures are required to further critical assessments for theory and application. Considerations of languages on the periphery \u2013 Indigenous and migrant, minority and endangered \u2013 including engagement with everyday policy and practice, and development of innovative technologies, are particularly timely, in light of the UN\u2019s International Decade of Indigenous Languages (IDIL 2022-2032).<\/p>\n

SS25 invites abstracts for papers, colloquia or posters addressing the conference theme, as well as other contributions focusing on current and innovative themes and theoretical challenges in sociolinguistic enquiry.<\/p>\n
