SALSA XXX
We are happy to announce the return of the Symposium About Language and Society, Austin–now celebrating its 30th year! Please join us in Austin on January 16th and 17th, 2026, to share insights on the intersection of language and society. Submissions will be accepted until October 6, 2025. For more information, see the call for papers. This year’s theme panel will be on the theme of taboo and transgression, but we welcome submissions in all areas.
For this year’s Joel Sherzer Memorial Keynote, we are excited to welcome Luke Fleming, of the University of Montreal.
See you in Austin!

SALSA XXIX: Program
Here is the preliminary program for SALSA XXIX. Please note that it may still be subject to minor changes. See you next week in Austin!
Submission decisions
All decision notifications for SALSA XXIX were sent out last month! We received many excellent abstracts, so decisions were a challenge. Congratulations to all the presenters. If you have not yet confirmed your attendance, please do so by emailing salsa.austin.tx@gmail.com within the next few days!
Thank you for your amazing submissions, and we look forward to seeing you all in Austin!
Submission Deadline Extended
The deadline for submitting your SALSA 2025 Abstracts has been extended until Wednesday, November 13th, to allow for additional interested parties to participate.
Any submissions received past the extended deadline will not be considered.
Responses are expected to be sent out in December.
Thanks and we look forward to reading your work,
SALSA Chair
