Meeting Description:

The purpose of the two-day workshop is to explore multilingual signage in
urban and rural spaces from the particular perspectives of policy, planning,
and contact linguistics. Key guiding questions which we wish to address are:
How can multilingual Linguistic Landscapes be accommodated in a general
account of a community’s multilingual practices? In what way do they reflect
different levels of policy in relation to diversity management? How can the
study of multilingual Linguistic Landscapes serve as an instrument and a guide
for the planning of language provisions and to support accessibility of
services?

Keynote Speakers:
 
Mark Sebba (University of Lancaster)
Elizabeth Lanza (University of Oslo, Centre for Multilingualism in Society
across the Lifespan) Gertrud Reershemius (Aston University, Birmingham)
Evelyn Ziegler (University of Duisburg-Essen)
Michal Schuster (Bar Ilan University)


Call for Papers: 

Abstracts are invited that address questions related to language use on
multilingual signage in urban and rural spaces, framed explicitly in the
context of contact linguistics and/or planning and policy. We expect to be
able to accept up to 12 papers. Abstracts of around 300 words should be sent
to mlm at manchester.ac.uk – please include ‘LL Workshop Abstract’ in the subject
heading – by 1 September 2017.
