Meeting Description: 

The International Language and Law Association (ILLA) is pleased to announce
the 5th ILLA General Conference to be held at the University of Alicante
(Spain) from 7 to 9 September 2021. As in the last two conferences—University
of Freiburg 2017 and UCLA 2019, this General Conference will be preceded by
other pre-conference academic events: the 2nd ILLA Colloquium for PhD Students
(5 September 2021) and the 3rd ILLA Focus Conference on Forensic Linguistics
(6 September 2021) to be held at the same location.

ILLA and the local organising committee from the University of Alicante are
planning for the 2nd ILLA Colloquium for PhD Students, the 3rd ILLA Focus
Conference on Forensic Linguistics, and the 5th ILLA General Conference to
proceed as planned while simultaneously making alternative plans for remote
participation and attendance options.

At present, more than 1 billion people are migrants. Migration has become a
global phenomenon and a burning issue provoking social conflict and political
instability in modern societies all over the world. The question of dealing
with migrants and asylum seekers has dominated the political discourse, has
given rise to national and international laws on emigration and immigration,
some of them including discriminatory provisions, pressed laws against
immigration (Acts of exclusion), encouraged international cooperation on
migration, and prompted anti-migration rhetoric. This conference aims to
invite scholars working in different disciplines such as law, linguistics, the
media, multilingualism, legal translation and interpreting, among other
fields, to share their views and insights into various aspects of the broad,
but not exclusive, umbrella topic we propose: Language and the Law in the Age
of Migration.
