<p>CALL FOR PAPERS - Symposium “Economics, Linguistic Justice and Language Policy”<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, School of Business and Economics Berlin, Germany, 2-3 March 2015<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p>The range of problems raised by diversity of languages in international economic and political integration processes calls upon innovative, efficient and fair language policies to manage multilingualism. Language policies are increasingly
acknowledged as being a necessary component of many decisions taken in the areas of labour mobility, access to knowledge and higher education, social inclusion of migrants, and they can affect companies’ international competitiveness and the democratic control
of international organisations.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p>The symposium "Economics, Linguistic Justice and Language Policy" aims at bringing together economists, philosophers, applied linguists and sociolinguists, policy makers, legal scholars, and social scientists in general. The purpose
is to discuss, from an interdisciplinary perspective, the socio-economic effects of language policies, the impact of language dynamics and language planning on justice and inequality at the national or international level, as well as the connection between
democracy, decision-making and linguistic diversity. <u></u><u></u></p>
<p> <u></u><u></u></p>
<p>Prospective participants are invited to submit an abstract on one of the following or related topics:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>1. Theoretical models of linguistic justice and linguistic democracy (e.g. minority languages, immigrants, supranational integration, higher education).<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>2. Assessment of the socio-economic consequences of linguistic diversity, language policies and dynamics.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>3. Evaluation of the costs, benefits and the fairness of language policies.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>4. Languages, linguistic rights and power.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p>5. Multilingualism and economic activities.<u></u><u></u></p>
