We invite scholars, instructors, and researchers to submit abstracts for the second annual conference Languages in the South. The conference aims to examine the state of the field of language teaching, learning, and education from various perspectives with a particular focus on institutions in the Southeastern United States.
We encourage proposals for 15-minute individual presentations that address, but are not limited to, the following:
- Experiential learning
- Acquisition and linguist
Forms of address鈥攕uch as titles, honorifics, and pronominal choices鈥攁re among the most sensitive linguistic indicators of social relations, politeness norms, and identity. As societies undergo social, political, economic, and ideological transformations, corresponding shifts in politeness and address practices emerge. Migrant, colonial, and Indigenous heritage languages, which interact intensively with dominant societal languages, offer a particularly rich terrain for examining these dynamics.

This thesis examines multimodal (im)politeness in telecinematic discourse and its subtitling. It brings together research in (im)politeness, audiovisual translation (AVT), multimodality and the pragmatics of fiction to provide concrete analytical frameworks to study how situated (im)politeness is expressed multimodally in an unfolding interaction and how multimodal (im)politeness is rendered in subtitling, which have received scarce attention in each of the mentioned research field.
