mso-font-kerning:0pt">The symposium aims to discuss the relationship
between languages and human capital in the widest possible sense
while paying attention also to the new forms of literacies that
the digital revolution has brought about. Contributions to the
symposium can cover theoretical and empirical research on the
topic, or the practical implications in terms of language policy
and impact. The symposium is interdisciplinary, and
contributions are accepted from economics, political science,
sociology, law, sociolinguistics and applied linguistics. </span></p>
