Meeting Description:

This two-day symposium seeks to shed light on how bi/multilingual children’s
imaginative worlds and their language use within them can help us understand
their views on languages, multilingualism, as well as the concomitant
implications, outcomes and consequences for languages, communities and
societies. During the symposium, we will focus on how children’s imagination
mediates their language use in such imaginative spaces as naturally occurring
plays at home or playground leading to language shift  or intentionally
created ones to catalyze using a minority language, e.g. in language
revitalization efforts.

Confirmed keynote speakers:
 - Prof Amy Kyratzis, University of California, Santa Barbara
 - Prof Asta Cekaite & Prof Polly Björk-Willén, Linköping University
 - Prof Kay Tisdall, University of Edinburgh


Call for Papers: 

We invite submissions to shed light on children’s interactions during various
activities involving bi/multilingual children’s creative and imaginative
worlds ranging from peer-peer, child-parent, and child-teacher interactions
during plays, watching TV, story reading in both offline and online spaces. We
particularly encourage submissions from under-studied contexts in Global South
to illustrate how children combine their experiences and use them “to
construct a new reality, one that conforms to [their] own needs and desires”
(Vygotsky, 1967 p. 11).  

All abstracts should be submitted using the following form:
https://nettskjema.no/a/201176

There would be a possibility of having the papers published as a special
issue. If interested, you will be asked to submit your full article by March
1, 2022. Please express your interest in the submission form.
