5th Urban Language Seminar 
Short Title: ULS-5

Location: Leiden, Netherlands

Linguistic Field(s): Anthropological Linguistics; Sociolinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

The seminar is the 5th in a series of international conferences on 
methodological and theoretical questions of urban sociolinguistics. The seminar
brings together specialists from various Chinese and Western universities who
document the social dynamics of the changing Chinese and European language
situations. 

A special session will be devoted to the study of overseas Chinese
communications, and the migratory situation in places such as Hong Kong,
Malaysia, and various European countries. Special emphasis is given to identity
formation processes under conditions of rapid industrialization. We expect these
contributions to help in the formulation of an explanatory and predictive model
for language maintenance, language spread, and language shift, which in turn can
function as a basis for the formulation of an empirically well founded language
system theory, and national language policies.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can 
receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit 
organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more 
information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift 
you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human 
resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns 
to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the 
value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment 
to check if your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
