Meeting Description:
INAR (International Network for Address
Research) is a recently formed network,
following the workshop on ‘Sociolinguistics and
Grammar of Terms of Address’ held in Berlin in
the early summer of 2013. The aim of the
network is to describe address in as wide a
number of languages as possible in order to
arrive at an overarching model of address. It
will do so by enhancing closer ties between
members, all of them linguists who have been
working on address for years.
This workshop is the first in a series that
will take place once a year, organized by
different network members around the globe. We
wish to bring together practitioners in the
field the specific workshop focuses on (e.g.
diachrony, translation etc.) and researchers
studying address in different languages and
working in different frameworks (e.g.
sociolinguistics, interactional studies,
pragmatics and grammatical description).
Conference fee: 75 euros (40 for students),
including snacks and refreshments during the
breaks and conference dinner
Call for Papers:
Aim of the Workshop:
Many theories of address so far have been
rather static, implicitly or explicitly
assuming that address, once established between
interlocutors, will remain the same throughout
the relationship. Lately, interaction studies
and studies focusing on address in the social
media have shown that change in address forms
occurs far more often than previously thought,
indexing the interlocutors’ perception of the
current state of their interpersonal
relationship. Also, there is a strong ludic
element to be observed. In the case of
multilingual address choice, interlocutors may
opt for one language over another in order to
avoid having to choose between address pronouns
that may be deemed too intimate or too
distanced (as is the case of English as a
Lingua Franca on international
conferences).
The workshop invites papers that observe the
negotiation of address choice in ongoing
interaction and variation in address choice.
Topics might include, but are not limited to,
discussion of the following phenomena:
- Strategies for permanent change in address
pronouns: how exactly is address ‘negotiated’
between interlocutors?
- Temporary changes and their motivation, e.g.
to mark a heightened emotional state (anger,
but also fondness and love)
- Choice and negotiation of address in specific
groups, e.g. in the workplace or in internet
discussion forums
- Address choice in larger groups, where some
participants use T-address, while others use
V-address
- Playing with pronominal and nominal address,
e.g. for ludic purposes, teasing, name-calling,
flattering, or ironic distancing
- Language choice in order to avoid decision on
address in another language
We welcome papers on any kind of language,
especially on sign languages, lesser studied
languages and in multilingual environments. It
is intended to publish a selection of papers in
an edited, peer-reviewed volume.
Abstracts are invited for 30-minute talks (plus
10 min. discussion). They should be no longer
than 500 words, including examples and
references.
