Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2017 

Meeting Description:

The conference aims to provide a comprehensive and comparative investigation
into standardization, norms and standard languages, covering a broad range of
linguistic contexts and research perspectives. The set of common thematic
areas listed below is intended to facilitate a comparative and contrastive
orientation to the conference, which will open up new perspectives on language
standardization since discussions to date have largely or entirely centred on
European languages. Taken together, the papers will present original recent
research exploring the subject through the lens of education, language
endangerment and revitalization, language policy, literature, minoritized
languages, multilingualism and other salient areas.


Call for Papers:

Proposals are welcomed from Early Career Researchers on any of the themes
outlined below, or anything else that relates to standard languages and
language standardization. Proposals are particularly encouraged regarding
linguistic contexts which comparatively have received little attention from
work on language standardization, or which consider theoretical or
methodological issues. 

Please send your abstract of no more than 1 side of A4 to meits at mml.cam.ac.uk
by no later than 30 November 2017. Practical details about the conference and
its location can be found at
http://www.meits.org/events/event/global-approaches-to-multilingualism-and-sta
ndardisation . This conference is being organised as part of the AHRC-funded
project Multilingualism: Empowering Individuals, Transforming Societies
(MEITS). 

Thanks to the generosity of the Historical Sociolinguistics Research and
Training Program, funded by the Research Foundation Flanders (FWO), we hope to
make four awards of up to €375 per person to cover accommodation and travel
expenses.
