Globalising Sociolinguistics 3: Language and Inequality
Tallinn University, Estonia 
22-24 August, 2024

Language is commonly used towards creating or reflecting inequalities of all sorts and at many levels. In interpersonal discourse, subtle prosodic and lexical choices can be denigratory and divisive. Silences can also be employed towards this end, and so can body language and eye movement. In conflict, including war, language choices are made towards manipulation, othering, and negative propaganda.

Globalising Sociolinguistics 3 (GloSoc3) calls out to scholars to join us in discussing this theme in a broad sense. Participants are asked to demonstrate the detrimental workings of subtle language choices, both conscious and less conscious, leading to inequalities. Preference is given to research based on empirical data.
