<p>Language and Super-diversity: Explorations and interrogations</p>
<p> </p>
<p>University of Jyväskylä, Finland<br>
<br>
June 5-7, 2013</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The aim of this international conference is to investigate the perspective and potential offered by super-diversity to language study – to, for example, linguistics, sociolinguistics, sociology of language, linguistic anthropology, applied linguistics, discourse
studies, new literacy studies, pragmatics, ethnography and multi-modality.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The conference provides a forum for researchers to explore the forms, processes, practices and effects of super-diversity and the multi-faceted challenge it poses to language study, calling forth a revision of some of its key tools – its theoretical apparata,
methods of data gathering and analytic concepts.<br>
<br>
The conference is organized by the Department of Languages and the Centre for Applied Language Studies, University of Jyväskylä, and the International Consortium on Language and Super-diversity.<br>
