Language is a distinctly human characteristic and central to all human social organization. It is the medium through which we shape our identities, relate to other people, and construct our social realities. Our focus in this conference is on language as it is used in media, politics, performance, and other public spaces, and how language can affect and be affected by these processes and domains of usage.
