 The main objective of this event is to promote an exchange of
knowledge in the field of research on bilingualism. After the success of
the First International Symposiun on Bilingualism (October, 1997, Univ. of
Vigo), this Second International Symposium on Bilingualism will have a
central subject: "Bilingualism and education, from the family to the
school". This subject is reflected in the four keynote speakers and in
part of the Colloquia that will take place.
 However, we will accept papers on all the fields of research about
bilingualism. The proposals about bilingualism and education will NOT have
priority over the proposals about any other field.
