This international workshop explores the evolving landscape of sociolinguistics in a rapidly changing global society.
As social structures, migration patterns, and cultural identities shift, the discipline faces critical questions about the limits of its current theories and the future of its methodologies.
"Sociolinguistics. Now and Next" provides a vital platform to critically assess where the field stands today and map out its upcoming trajectories.
Key themes include the intersection of language with social inequality, identity construction, and the ongoing debate between variationist and interactional frameworks as well as the linguistic impact of artificial intelligence, global migration patterns, and the evolution of digital speech communities.
By bridging established traditions with new empirical approaches, this event aims to redefine how we analyze the relationship between language and society.
We invite scholars and researchers to contribute to this essential dialogue.
Together, we will examine pressing theoretical challenges and shape the next generation of sociolinguistic inquiry.
