Jack Sidnell

Department of Anthropology
University of Toronto, Canada

Jack Sidnell has conducted field research in the Caribbean, Vietnam, India and North America. The structures of social interaction have been the object of long term study. Other research has focused on the anthropology of knowledge and the ontology of action. His current research examines interlocutor reference (i.e. reference to speaker and hearer) in Vietnamese across a range of contexts including those involving the socialization of young children and those involving forms of public address (e.g. television and radio). This research poses a set of broad theoretical questions concerning the linguistic mediation of social relations and the consequences of linguistic diversity for social life.

Mary Bucholtz

Department of Linguistics
University of California, U.S.A.

The research of Mary Bucholtz lies in trying to understand how linguistic forms take on sociocultural meanings through their association with particular kinds of speakers, settings, and activities, and how these associations can be reinforced or altered in specific contexts. Through ethnographic and interactional methods, we can examine speakers’ own perspectives on this phenomenon: What identities matter in a local context? What ideologies about language and social categories influence speakers’ choices? How do speakers jointly and publicly engage in cognitive processes (thinking, feeling, perceiving) through embodied language use as part of social and cultural activities? To answer these questions, rather than examine a single linguistic feature or level, I prefer to investigate how multiple elements of language—from phonology to syntax to the lexicon—work together in embodied interaction, as well as how elements of language are represented ideologically through metalinguistic means. This sociocultural approach reveals the real-world consequences of language as a resource for social power and identity as well as for participating fully as a member of a culture.

Presentation lengths

Submitters must plan around the following:

Abstract Submission Guidelines

Submission of proposals for papers, posters, and colloquia should be completed via the online submission website, or by email

• 18-word maximum presentation title
• 400-word maximum abstract, including references
• Colloquia: Upload the abstract for the colloquium, in the submissions box. The abstract must contain both the main description of the colloquium, as well as a summarized description of each individual paper to be presented within the colloquium. This information must include the names and affiliations of each author and presenter, the title of each respective session/presentation, as well as any other information believed relevant.
• For individual papers submitted for review and acceptance into the general sessions, the first author will be the nominated ‘Corresponding Author’, but can also be a ‘Presenting author’ when completing the profile.
• Each author must also confirm their role: Presenting author, non-presenting author, chair, or discussant.
  

Evaluation of proposals

Proposals for individual papers, posters, and colloquia will be evaluated by the GLOCAL CALA Review Committee, with criteria as follows:

• Appropriateness and significance of the topic to GLOCAL CALA themes
• Originality/significance/impact of the research
• Clarity/coherence of research concerns, theoretical and analytical framework(s), description of research, data collection, findings/conclusions, rhetoric, and exegesis as a whole
• For colloquia, importance/significance of the overarching topic and/or framework(s) addressed, and its coherence of and with individual presentations.
• All abstracts for presentations within the colloquia will not be peer reviewed by the GLOCAL CALA review committee, but are expected to be at a standard commensurate to the parent colloquium abstract, which will be peer reviewed by the GLOCAL CALA review committee. Thus, the acceptance of the colloquium, and hence all presentations and discussions within that colloquium, becomes predicated on the success of the review of the main proposal for that colloquium, submitted by the main organizers of the respective colloquium.
• All abstracts for general sessions, which are selected and placed by the GLOCAL CALA selection committee, will be double blind reviewed.

Conditions of Submissions

• A participant may be first author/presenter in a maximum of two presentations, be it individual papers, posters, or papers within colloquia.
• In addition, a participant may act as chair, discussant, or co-author in one further presentation.
• Alternatively, participants may act as first author/presenter in one presentation, and chair, discussant, or co-author in a maximum of two other presentations.
• All proposals must present or interpret original work otherwise yet unavailable.
• The language of the GLOCAL CALA is English. However, abstracts may be submitted in any language, but together with an English translation.
• Presenters can present in any language, but must prepare an English translation for the presentation.
• The GLOCAL CALA Committee will assign all relevant schedules to accepted individuals and groups.
