Meeting Description:

IAWE 25, the 25th conference of the International Association of World
Englishes, is being held at Stony Brook University, from the 15th to 17th June
2023.

The primary theme of the conference is World Englishes in a Multilingual
World. The conference will feature five plenary addresses and a large number
of papers in parallel sessions by researchers from around the world on a wide
range of topics related to the main theme.

Stony Brook is an ideal site for this conference: This university has been one
of the main centers for research on World Englishes and multilingualism for
over four decades. It also features a number of departments and centers which
focus on cognate disciplines, such as, theoretical and applied linguistics,
language contact, second language acquisition and foreign language teaching,
sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, cognitive and computational linguistics,
African, Asian and European languages and literatures, English language and
literature, writing and rhetoric, literary translation, globalization, and the
teaching of English as a second language. 

The field of World Englishes has been one of the most prolific and exciting
among the language-related disciplines in recent years. 
Small wonder, because the spread of English world-wide has been an
unprecedented linguistic phenomenon and has raised a number of fundamental
challenges to linguistic theory and its subfields, ranging from the nature of
linguistic competence, bilingual competence,  and the status of a native
speaker to the concept of a native versus non-native variety, questions of
language contact and evolution, standard language(s), forms and functions of
language interaction in grammars and in processing, as well as theories of
second language acquisition and methods of teaching, to name only a few.  

The conference is sponsored by the Mattoo Center for India Studies and the
Department of Asian and Asian American Studies. All over Asia, Africa, and in
many other parts, English is a major medium of communication and cultural
expression, both as an international language and as an intra-national
language, influencing and being influenced by the many languages and cultures
it comes in contact with.  As a testimony to this multitudinous aspect of
English, the conference is co-sponsored by a large number of academic units of
Stony Brook University from English, Linguistics, and Africana Studies to
Global Studies, and International Programs.

We invite you to explore the wonderful intellectual treat that in store for
us, and also appreciate the many cultural attractions that the famed New York
Metropolitan area has to offer. Stony Brook is located on the beautiful north
shore of Long Island, at a convenient distance of 55 miles from New York city.
 Please take time to explore the different aspects of the conference detailed
on this website.
