  Do you happen to have any resources that connect language rights to the U.S. Constitution?  Thanks!

    Utrecht University 
    8-11 July 2009 

    The 7th International Symposium on Bilingualism invites proposals for 
    presentations on any aspect of research on bilingualism. 
    Topics may include: 
    - adult second language acquisition 
    - bilingual speech processing 
    - child second language acquisition 
    - contact induced language change 
    - grammatical development in bilingual children 
    - grammatical studies of code-switching 
    - intercultural communication 
    - language contact phenomena 
    - language impairment in bilinguals 
    - language loss 
    - language maintenance 
    - language policy and ideology of bilingualism 
    - language shift 
    - multilingualism and education 
    - multi-modality and multilingualism 
    - neurolinguistic studies of bilingualism 
    - psycholinguistic studies of bilingualism 
    - receptive multilingualism 
    - sociolinguistic studies of bilingual communities and migration 
    - sociolinguistic studies of code-switching 
    - translation- and interpretation studies 

    Proposals regarding original, previously unpublished research results on 
    bilingualism are invited in three formats: individual papers, posters and 
    colloquia. Each paper presentation should be scheduled for 25 minutes, including 
    time for discussion. 

    Proposals for Individual Papers or Posters: 
    Proposals for individual papers or posters consist of one page plain text 
    abstract, including examples and references (max. 3000 characters). The abstract 
    should include enough details 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 (paper presentation or 
    poster session) at the time the work is submitted. 

    Proposals for Colloquia: 
    Colloquia are collections of four paper presentations which relate to a narrowly 
    defined topic of interest. They are submitted as a group, individually reviewed 
    and offered in 120 min. time blocks. Proposals for colloquia consist of one page 
    plain text abstract, including examples and references (max. 3000 characters), 
    describing the colloquium as a whole. In addition, for each of the papers to be 
    presented one page plain text abstract with author's name, professional 
    affiliation, and email address must be included. Sufficient details should be 
    provided to allow peer reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. 
    A chair for the session must also be identified. Instead of a fourth speaker, 
    time can be reserved for discussion lead by a specified discussant. The person 
    submitting a proposal for a colloquium has the charge of securing the permission 
    and co-operation of all participants before the proposal is submitted. 

    Please submit your proposal online at http://www.let.uu.nl/isb7/ 
    For all submissions holds: one presentation as a first author and one as a 
    co-author. 

    Submission Deadline: October 1st 2008 

    If you have problems with online submission, please do not hesitate to contact 
    our conference co-ordinator at isb7uu.nl
