HOSTS - University of London, SOAS and University of The Philippines Diliman GENERAL INFORMATION - The CALA 2021 (SCOPUS / ISI indexed) is the annual conference and workshops and lectures on the Linguistic Anthropology, The Sociolinguistics, and the Language and Society, of Asia. THEME - Symbol and New Society: The CALA 2021 invites work on the linguistic symbols of Asian and global Asian society, in a new era. Submissions should acknowledge and describe the transfer of language and communication in this new era. Papers should focus on the ways in which communication has increasingly taken on both evolutionary and revolutionary form, following recent large-scale changes in Asian society, and in Asia’s new or revised interrelatedness with global scapes.
