Symposium on Language Analysis<BR><BR>7th Biennial Conference on Forensic
Linguistics/Language and Law, <BR>Cardiff, July 1 - July 4,
2005<BR><BR>Since the 1990s, language analysis has been used by a number of
governments<BR>to help establish asylum seekers' origins. Recently,
linguists have started<BR>to critically evaluate the procedure (Eades et
al., 2003; Arends and Eades,<BR>in press), thus providing a basis for the
development of professional<BR>standards and a scientific methodology. In
June 2004, the Language and<BR>National Origin Group, an international group
of linguists published the<BR>Guidelines for the Use of Language Analysis in
Relation to Questions of<BR>National Origin in Refugee Cases (see
www.iafl.org, the home page of the<BR>International Association for Forensic
Linguistics). The guidelines provide<BR>a useful and necessary starting
point for the development of professional<BR>standards, but a lot of work
remains to be done.<BR><BR>In July 2005, the IAFL will organize her 7th
Biennial Conference on<BR>Forensic Linguistics/Language and Law. De
Taalstudio is planning to<BR>organize a symposium on Language Analysis in
refugee cases. By organizing a<BR>thematic session, we hope to interest
scholars for this new field of<BR>forensic linguistics, and to create an
opportunity for face-to-face<BR>discussion and expertise-sharing. The
symposium will last 120 minutes, of<BR>which we would like to dedicate 20
minutes to discussion. <BR><BR>Hereby, we invite abstracts for a 15 minute
presentation on any topic<BR>related to Language Analysis as it is used in
asylum cases, preferably<BR>discussing the use and implementation of the
aforementioned Guidelines.<BR><BR>If you are interested to participate,
please send an abstract before<BR>December 5th by e-mail to
sdikker@taalstudio.nl. With a selection of the<BR>abstracts we receive, we
will put together a symposium proposal to the IAFL<BR>organizing committee.
By the end of the year, we will inform all submitters<BR>whether or not
their abstract has been included in the symposium proposal.<BR><BR>For your
abstract, please follow the IAFL regulations:<BR>Abstracts should be 250-300
words long and should include: <BR>o Title of the presentation<BR>o Name(s)
of the presenter(s)<BR>o Affiliation of the presenter(s)<BR>o Both e-mail
and postal addresses <BR>o Any special audio-visual/IT requirements
