The ESRC Centre for Bilingualism in Theory and Practice invites  
submissions for talks and posters on the topic of "Models of  
Interaction in Bilinguals", broadly defined to include, e.g.,  
interaction between the bilingual's two languages, interaction  
between language and cognition, interaction between bilinguals'  
writing systems/literacy, and any other relevant topic.

Ellen Bialystok, York University and Rotman Research Institute of the  
Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care, Toronto

Psychology, University College London, UK

Oral Presentations will be half hour talks.  N.B.:  All invited and  
accepted speakers must submit a short version of their talk prior to  
the conference, for circulation to other presenters and for  
availability through our website to other participants.
Posters should be 80 x 120 cm (A0) or less.

The word limit for abstracts for oral presentations and posters is  
200 words, excluding references, title, and author information.

[Note: A selection of papers from the conference will be submitted to  
a peer-review process for possible inclusion in a special issue of  
International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism on  
"Models of Interaction in Bilinguals", with Virginia Gathercole as  
Guest Editor.  We will invite all oral presenters to submit more  
complete copies of their papers for consideration, and all poster  
presenters will be invited to similarly submit papers for possible  
inclusion.  A separate call will also go out for possible submissions  
from outside the conference.  All papers will be peer-reviewed.   
Please note that paper submission will not guarantee acceptance,  
however.]
