<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><b style><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">Call for Papers</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:center" align="center"><b style><span style="font-size:14pt;font-family:"Times New Roman"">Theme: Linguistics and Education - Honoring Franklin E.
Horowitz</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">On the occasion of the 60th Annual Conference of the International
Linguistic Association, we pay special tribute to Franklin Horowitz, who has
been an active and dedicated member of the ILA from its earliest years, joined
the Executive Board in 1989, and served as its president from 1999 to 2002. A
professor of linguistics at Teachers College, Columbia University for over 35
years, Frank’s enthusiasm for language inspired legions of graduate students,
who continue the work of teaching linguistics to their own students around the world.
</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">His influence has been enormous, both
as a leader of the ILA and as a teacher.</span><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""> Thus, this year’s theme reflects the
mark he has left on those who have worked with and learned from him: <span style> </span>We invite papers related to the various
subfields of linguistics as they are applied to education.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">The influence of linguistics on education is wide-ranging. It
encompasses applications to language teaching, including the teaching of second
and foreign languages; the education of emergent bilinguals and speakers of various
dialects; educating for language awareness, linguistic diversity, and equity; research
on language and the Internet; language planning and policy studies; the
critique of political and media discourse; and the revitalization of indigenous
and endangered languages. The ILA invites submissions that explore these and
other connections between linguistics and education.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman"">Topics that might be addressed under this theme:</span></p>
