Meeting Description:
18th International Conference on Minority Languages
University of the Basque Country, Bilbao.
March 24-26, 2021.
Minority languages are part of a globalized and technological mobile world in
which the Internet has been instrumental for the acceleration of
communication, knowledge and information mobility, and in which increased
levels of human mobility and immigration are constitutive of contemporary
urban and rural societies. Minority language speakers have to address more
multicultural and multilingual communicational relations than ever, across
networks connected at the local and translocal levels.
Within such intensified global flows, minority languages are part of emerging
new global economic, aesthetic and cultural trends and power relations. Those
trends and relations govern speakers' language and cultural choices, and often
promote inequality and a monolingual bias, including native speakerness,
standardness, and the overarching hegemony of global English. Yet, at the same
time, those conditions seek to chart new promising frameworks of value for
minority languages and varieties that challenge such binary historical
relations with majority, powerful languages and varieties.
The 18th International Conference on Minority Languages, to be held in Bilbao
(Basque Country) from 24th to 26th March 2021, is organized by the NOR
Research Group at the University of the Basque Country. It will deal with the
subject of minority or small languages and minority speakers all over the
world. It aims to create a dialogue among disciplines by asking how minority
languages are facing those challenging new multilingual and multicultural
circumstances, and how minority speakers are negotiating and reinventing
minority linguistic resources in moving locally and globally.
Call for Papers:
The ICML 2021 will be structured in many thematic fields, such as:
- Minority languages revitalization experiences in multilingual and global
contexts.
- Language policy and planning in challenging multilingual and multicultural
environments.
- Education, literacy and language learning criteria for a multilingual
system.
- Sociolinguistic and ethnographic approaches: Languages ideologies,
identities and attitudes in a changing globalized world.
- Cultural and Linguistic Anthropology: language in the production of power
relations and social inequalities.
- Communication and Media Studies: New communication media and
multilingualism.
- Cultural practices and creative industries.
- Other relevant areas.
Important dates:
Submission for proposals: April 1 to June 30, 2020.
Notification of acceptance of proposals: October, 2020.
Proposals:
Proposals regarding original, previously unpublished research on minority
languages are invited in three formats: individual papers, posters and
colloquia. Proposals should relate to one (or more) of the conference themes
listed above. Proposals can be submitted via
https://easychair.org/account/signin?l=ilgM43WAiecmB17WgwhFYC.
Proposals should be related to one or many of the abovementioned fields.
Proposals for individual papers or posters:
Please submit an abstract (300-words including references) of your paper or
poster. The abstract should include enough detail to allow reviewers to judge
the scientific merits of the proposal.
Oral papers will be allotted 15 minutes for presentation. After all the papers
of the panel have been presented, 30 minutes will be reserved for questions
and discussion.
A poster presentation combines a visual display on a poster board of the
highlights of research with a question-and-answer opportunity. The poster will
be available for viewing by participants during the slot indicated in the
conference programme. All participants are encouraged to visit the posters and
contact the main author during the conference.
Proposals for colloquia:
Colloquia are collections of paper presentations which relate to a narrowly
defined topic of interest and are offered in a 1,5 hour time block. Proposals
for colloquia are limited to 500 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. A chair/discussant for the session must also
be identified. 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.
Linguistic policy of the conference:
The language policy of the Conference is based on four principles:
- Efficacy: it is about facilitating communication and exchange between all
participants.
- Wide access to speech: the objective is that the greatest number of people
can share their point of view, regardless of their linguistic competence.
- Visibility: it is about showing the linguistic variety of our planet.
- Reflection: it is about thinking on trends towards linguistic
homogenization in the academic world.
Based on these principles, the official languages of the conference will be
English, Spanish, French and Basque. This is intended to give voice to
different points of view, while ensuring high understandability.
The use of simultaneous translation is not foreseen. So, in order to ensure
that the greatest number of people can not only speak to, but also listen to
others, we encourage participants to use multilingual material (for example in
graphic presentations, summaries, etc.).
