GEOLINGUISTICS<BR><BR></B>Announcing the International Conference
on<BR><BR>LANGUAGE IN THE ERA OF
GLOBALIZATION<BR><BR><BR></DIV><X-TAB> </X-TAB>Globalization
is like the weather that Mark Twain described: Everybody talks about it but
nobody does anything about it. Globalization is feared by some but appears
to be inevitable and when it is discussed that is almost exclusively in terms of
transnational corporations and world markets. But there is at least one
other important
aspect.<BR><BR><X-TAB> </X-TAB>The
American Society of Geolinguistics (ASG) will address LANGUAGE IN THE ERA OF
GLOBALIZATION at an international conference to be held October 2-4, 2003 at
Baruch College (CUNY). It will deal with a broad spectrum of geolinguistic
topics ranging from global challenges to bilingualism, translation, creoles and
linguas francas, to World English in commerce and tourism, the death or
deformation of minority languages, and the backlash that endangered languages
may produce at the
brink.<BR><BR><X-TAB> </X-TAB>Send
today a proposal (of not more than 250 words) for a 20-minute paper to be read
at the conference. Proposals must reach the secretary by 15 July 2003, but
earlier submissions are invited, particularly if you wish to speak on a certain
day or time. Those coming to the conference from overseas are advised that
visas to visit the United States take now much longer to obtain than was the
case in the past. ASG usually holds these international conferences every
second year, but the huge success of the LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY (October 2-5,
2002) conference, with a program of 60 papers and participants from more than
two dozen countries, has prompted ASG to have this 2003 conference. As
with all ASG conferences, papers are refereed and proceedings are
published. In 2003 conferees will be offered reduced hotel rates and will
be able to enjoy New York City at the height of its cultural and entertainment
seasons. Contact the secretary of the conference: Professor Wayne H.
Finke, Modern Languages, B6-280, Baruch College, 1 Bernard Baruch College, New
York, NY 10010-5585. E-mail:
