</span><font color="#ff9900">Theme -</font> <b><i><font color="#3d85c6">Bounded languages ... Unbounded</font></i></b>,<font color="#666666"> a theme highly pertinent to <span class="gmail-il">Mediterranean</span> and <span class="gmail-il">European</span> regions
and countries in the current climate of transnationalism. The <span class="gmail-il">COMELA</span> <span class="gmail-il">2020</span> theme, “Bounded languages … Unbounded,” encapsulates the ongoing struggle throughout <span class="gmail-il">Mediterranean</span> and <span class="gmail-il">European</span> regions.
The tension between demarcation and legitimization of languages, language ideologies, and language identities, is entering an era where new modes of interactivity require language communities with roles superordinate to the past. Flexible citizenship now operates
within, and not only across, language communities, to unbind languages, yet to create new boundaries never seen throughout history. The <span class="gmail-il">COMELA</span> <span class="gmail-il">2020</span> invites work on shifting boundedness of Language
Communities of the <span class="gmail-il">Mediterranean</span> and Europe. Submissions should acknowledge and describe processes of language shape, change, and ideology, pertinent to social, cultural, and political histories and futures, of <span class="gmail-il">Mediterranean</span> and <span class="gmail-il">European</span>regions,
or work by those working in <span class="gmail-il">Mediterranean</span> and <span class="gmail-il">European</span> regions.</font><br>
