Call for Papers:

The 12th International Symposium on Bilingualism (ISB12) will take place at
the University of Alberta, Canada, 23-28 June, 2019.

The conference theme is ''Bilingualism and The Next Generation,'' which
highlights the importance of the next generation in language maintenance and
survival on the one hand, and the importance of the next generation of
scholars in moving the field forward on the other. Papers that fit within that
theme in some way are particularly eagerly solicited. However, ISB12 invites
papers in all areas of research in bilingualism and multilingualism (whether
linked to the conference theme or not), including but not limited to:
linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, applied
linguistics, neuropsychology, first and second and third language acquisition,
clinical linguistics, language and education, and multilingual societies.

Proposals

Abstracts are solicited for three categories of proposals: individual papers,
posters, and theme sessions.

- Individual papers: Papers are formal presentations on original research or
original pedagogy-focused topics by one or more authors, lasting a total of
eighteen minutes with five additional minutes for discussion. Abstracts should
be a maximum of 300 words in length.

- Posters: Poster sessions are for displaying original research or pedagogy
that offers the opportunity for individualized, informal discussion with
others in the field. Posters are especially effective for presenting
work-in-progress, fieldwork, and results of empirical research for which data
can be presented visually. Posters will be available throughout an entire day
of the conference with presenters in attendance for a 90-minute poster
session. Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words in length.

- Theme sessions: Theme sessions allow for extended, interactive discussion on
a specific topic, focusing on a cluster of independent papers. Each submission
should include either three presentations and a discussant or four
presentations, for a total of four ''slots''. Submissions must include an
abstract for the panel (of a maximum of 500 words in length), as well as for
each of the constituent papers (of a maximum of 300 words in length).

Abstracts may be submitted in either English or French, and presentations may
also be given in either language. Apart from this, the main working language
of ISB12 will be English (we plan to offer interpretation to and from American
Sign Language, if requested).

Abstracts can be submitted at
http://sites.psych.ualberta.ca/ISB12/submit-proposal/ .

The deadline for the submission of abstracts will be 15 October, 2018 at 23:59
North American Mountain time. Notification of acceptance can be expected by 15
January, 2019.
