Meeting Description:

The University of Jyväskylä Language Campus is pleased to organize the

16th International Conference on Minority Languages (ICML XVI) & 34th Summer
School and Conference of Applied Language Studies

which will be held in Jyväskylä & Närpes, Finland August 28-30, 2017

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.

Academic Program:

In addition to the talks delivered by plenary speakers, the program will
consist of panel discussions, paper and poster sessions, colloquia and
workshops.

Talks by plenary speakers:

- Professor Helen Kelly Holmes (University of Limerick, Ireland)
- Professor Ingrid Piller (Macquarie University, Australia) 
- Director Robert Adam (University College London, UK)
- Professor Sari Pöyhönen (University of Jyväskylä, Finland)
 
There will be two invited panel discussions:

- Historical language minorities in Finland and in the neighboring countries;
- Immigration and integration in the Swedish speaking regions of Finland.

Pre- or post-conference workshops will be organized by plenary speakers.

Proposals regarding original and previously unpublished research on minority

Proposals for colloquia:

Colloquia are collections of paper presentations that relate to a narrowly
defined topic of interest, and are offered in a three-hour time block.
Proposals for colloquia are limited to 700 words, and should include brief
summaries of each of the papers to be included, along with paper titles and
individual authors’ names. Sufficient detail should be provided to allow peer
reviewers to judge the scientific merit of the proposal. The person submitting
a proposal for a colloquium is responsible for securing the permission and
co-operation of all participants before the proposal is submitted. A chair for
the session must also be identified.

Language policy:

The language of the conference is English. If a presentation is based on data
in any other language, use of multilingual material (e.g. in Power Point
slides, handouts) is recommended.

International sign language interpretation will be facilitated at the ICML
XVI, to help us evaluate the need and volume, please include a note at your
submission if you need interpretation.

Reviewing of abstracts:

The proposals for any type of presentation will be evaluated anonymously by at
least two members of the Organizing Committee, and they will be evaluated for
their contribution to the field, quality of content, thematic relevance and
quality of abstract (organization, clarity of expression).

Presentation acceptances will be sent out by April 10, 2017.
