Meeting Description:<br><br>
3rd European Conference on Plurilingualism <br>'Languages without Borders: Plurilingualism' <br> <br>Plurilingualism
does not mean the disappearance of borders, whether they are physical,
political, religious, intellectual, artistic or any others. Such as a
door, the border can be opened or closed; it is a marker of identity and
of differentiation, but at the same time, it is a condition for a real
and authentic exchange. Whatever the border, plurilingualism transforms
them as areas of exchanges, enrichment and creativity, a creativity
nurtured by an assumed and recognized otherness. <br> <br>Such is the
main set of themes for the 3rd European Conference on plurilingualism
which will decline themselves into four henceforth standard registers:
education, economy, politics and culture. <br> <br>The Conference will
be held at the Representation of the European Commission in Rome, Via
quattro Novembre, 149-00187 Roma, on the 10th, 11th and 12th of October
2012.<br><br>
Call for Papers: <br> <br>The aim of the Conference is the apprehension
of concrete problems and the search for feasible solutions to answer
them. The presentation will be presented in an argumentative manner and
will include an analysis of the situation, a presentation of the
problematic, if possible supported by experiences and precise cases, and
concrete proposals to help nurture a platform on plurilingualism. <br> <br>The
accepted presentations will have to give a complete text of 6 pages
long, around 18,000 characters maximum, spaces included, summaries and
bibliographies included, according the following format aimed at the

<br>The text will be accompanied by a 15 lines summary in three languages. <br> <br>Style
sheet language or structured document: the style sheet or structured
document (file in .dot or .ott) enclosed is readily usable. It is also
downloadable with an example on the website of the EOP in the menu

compatible with Word is also usable. <br> <br>Notes at the end of the article: <br> <br>The
notes will have to be placed at the end of the article, and not at the
end of the pages. When they are bibliographical notes, the official
norms will have to be followed. <br> <br>Linguistic Regulations: <br> <br>The linguistic regulation is as follows: <br> <br>The
oral presentation will have to be given in one of the official
languages of the conference: English, French, German and Italian. As for
the interpretation regulation, it is planned is to have an
interpretation in each of these official languages. <br> <br>Whatever
