Meeting Description: 

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. 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.

ICML XVI will address critical questions such as how minority languages are
valued, by whom and under what conditions. The conference is open to
researchers, students and stakeholders from across the multidisciplinary field
of minority languages.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
