Full Title: 30 years of Linguistic Diversity: Research – Everyday Life – Resources (Workshop at DGfS 2020) 

Date: 04-Mar-2020 - 06-Mar-2020
Location: Hamburg, Germany 
Contact Person: Patrick Grommes
Meeting Email: patrick.grommes at uni-hamburg.de

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 15-Aug-2019 

Meeting Description:

Beginning in the 1990s new terms and analytical approaches have emerged that
cover phenomena related to bi- and multilingual language acquisition, language
policies, and language planning as well as describing and analysing
multilingual communication in various institutional settings. While a wide
range of facets of multilingualism and linguistic diversity have been
uncovered, less attention has so far been paid to any discussion of how
different theoretical and methodological approaches might be systematised and
critically reflected (see e.g. Redder 2017, Androutsopoulos et al. 2013).
Further, the relationship between research and practice needs some
clarification, particularly in the face of demands for „quick responses“. In
addition, it seems to be quite unclear in how far research findings are being
noticed in practice and whether or not they are perceived as relevant by
agents in multilingual everyday life.

The aim of our workshop is to bring different strands of approaches to
multilingualism together for a discussion that includes a critically reflected
evaluation of existing research findings.


Call for Papers:

Contributions to the workshop will ideally be grounded in concrete phenomena
of multilingual communication and ways of capturing those analytically. They
will further ask what theoretically and methodological implications and
challenges follow from looking into these phenomena in more detail.
Particularly welcome will be contributions based on authentic linguistic data
that have been collected in institutional settings or are of relevance to
institutional contexts. Contributions will be assigned to a 30-minute time
slot, including 10 minutes of individual discussion.
The workshop will close with a one-hour plenary discussion that will review
the relevance of aspects arising from the contributions to the workshop. For
this discussion we will invite representatives from different areas of
practice.  

Please send your (anonymous) abstracts (500 words max.) by August 15, 2019 to

A limited number of travel grants of up to 500 Euro each are available for
accepted contributions by DGfS members without/with low income.
