Borders and Language: International Perspectives A Thematic Issue of the International Journal of the Sociology of Language. As globalization continues to impact ways of knowing, ways of being, and ways of speaking around the world, the contribution of border-oriented scholarship will move from the margins of social and humanistic inquiry to the center of disciplinary inquiry and engagement (cf. Mignolo 2000). Border- oriented sociolinguistics is no exception in this impending conceptual shift. Following Omoniyi, border sociolinguistics has been characterized as a study of language in society that foregrounds spatial adjacency between two or more polities and that highlights the communicative dynamics of the populations that inhabit these polities. Border sociolinguistics may thus be characterized as an intentional transcendence of bounded speech communities and a heightened awareness of the effects of boundaries and borderlessness on language practices and language ideologies. The purpose of this thematic issue of The International Journal of the Sociology of Language is to highlight the salient role of border sociolinguistic research in the understanding of the impact of globalization on the languages and communicative practices of the world. We are seeking abstracts of papers dealing with any topic related to language and borders. We are particularly interested in works dealing with borders in Eastern Europe and/or India. Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words. Please send your abstract to Dr. Glenn Martinez, Issue Editor at martinezgutpa.edu or glenmtz505aol.com. The deadline for abstract submissions is October 30, 2010. Authors will be notified if their abstracts have been accepted no later than December 1, 2010. If the abstract is accepted, complete manuscripts will be requested by March 1, 2011.
