2024 Workshop Theme

Fluidity and Fixity in Borderlands

The theme of Linguistic Landscape 15 is focused on fluidity and fixity in borderlands. We conceive of 'borderlands' broadly, to include both physical and imagined spaces, as well as both empirical and theoretical conceptualisations. This year's conference features papers that investigate the linguistic landscapes of borderlands, including (and going beyond) the themes listed below:
  • LL at and around geographical borders
  • LL at and around political borders
  • LL in language planning and policy, defining borders
  • Ideological borders in the LL
  • Crossing the borders of academia into community-led LL research 
  • Crossing the borders between LL research and pedagogical application
  • LL research and disciplinary borders
  • Methodological borders in LL research
  • Theoretical borders in LL research
  • Historical borders in LL research
  • Modality borders in LL research
  • Linguistic borders in LL research
  • Ethical borders in LL research
In addition to the conference, we are hosting the first New Zealand Linguistic Landscape Winter School, featuring a guided walking tour and ideas for pedagogical application.
