<p class="MsoNormal">The University of Jyväskylä Language Campus is pleased to announce the 16th International Conference on Minority Languages (ICML XVI) & 34th Summer School and Conference of Applied Language Studies in Jyväskylä & Närpes, Finland August
28-30, 2017<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times",serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Conference theme:</b> Revaluing minority languages<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times",serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Minority languages have long been used by different groups of social actors for identity and community building purposes, such as the symbolic, material, and political mobilisation of linguistic and cultural rights. Currently, under changing
political, economic and cultural conditions around the world, minority languages are subject to multiple, overlapping and even contradictory discourses and practices of valuation and revaluation.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times",serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The peripheral position of minority languages, as structured by nation-state logics, and the central role endowed to them in the political projects of various minority groups are now complexified by both the increasing economic value of
minority languages as a resource of distinction and authenticity, and by the intensified mobility of languages and their speakers. Some of the consequences of this complexification result in re-evaluating relationship between minority and migrant languages
and the trajectories of so-called “new speakers” of minority languages.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Times",serif;color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">ICML XVI will address critical questions such as how minority languages are valued, by whom and under what conditions.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The conference is open to researchers, students and stakeholders from across the multidisciplinary field of minority languages.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1f497d"><u></u> <u></u></span></p>
