The Department of Languages, Literatures & Cultures at Towson University announces the 9th edition of “Forging Linguistic Identities” and invites proposals for papers. The conference seeks to examine language as socially embedded within historical and geo-political contexts. Possible topics might include, but not be limited to:
- National reception of dialect/minority-language literature and verbal culture
- Dialects/diglossia and their role in group identity formation
- The standardizatio
