Call for Proposals 
The 4th International Symposium on Bilingualism invites proposals for 
presentations in any aspect of research on bilingualism. In the past, 
topics have included grammatical development in bilingual children, 
sociolinguistic and grammatical studies of codeswitching, bilingual 
speech processing, language impairments in bilinguals, sociolinguistic
studies of bilingual communities and migration, child/adult second
language acquisition, language policy and ideology, language shift,
language attrition/forgetting, and bilingualism in school settings.
Proposals regarding original, previously unpublished research on 
bilingualism are invited in three formats: Colloquia, individual papers,

and posters. 
Proposals for colloquia. Colloquia are collections of paper 
presentations which relate to a narrowly defined topic of interest, and
are offered in either 2-hour or 3-hour time blocks. Proposals for
colloquia are limited to 700 words, and should include brief summaries
of each of the papers to be included, along with paper titles and
individual authors' names. Sufficient detail should be provided to allow
peer reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. A chair
for the session must also be identified. It is the responsibility of the
person submitting a proposal for a colloquium to secure the permission
and cooperation of all participants before the proposal is submitted.
Proposals for colloquia must indicate whether a 2-hour or 3-hour time
block is requested. Typically, each paper presentation within a
colloquium should be scheduled for 30 minutes, including time for
discussion.
Proposals for individual papers or posters.  Please submit an abstract 
of no more than 700 words.  The abstract should include enough detail to

allow reviewers to judge the scientific merits of the proposal.
Abstracts for paper/poster presentations will be double-blind
peer-reviewed.
Authors will be asked to specify a format (colloquium, paper, or poster)

for the proposal at the time the work is submitted. 

How to Submit Proposals 
Proposals may be submitted electronically at isb4.asu.edu before 
September 1, 2002. In cases where electronic submission is not possible,
