As an international and multi-disciplinary scholarly organisation,
EuroSEAS invites scholars and PhD students from all academic
disciplines with an interest in Southeast Asia to present a paper in
one of the selected panels or other formats (see list below) at the
EuroSEAS conference in Amsterdam. The selection committee has accepted
around 115 panels, laboratories, roundtables  & film screenings +
discussions.
Francesca Moro and Antonia Soriente propose the panel: SEA LANGUAGES

linguistic landscape, code.-switching, etc.)

PANEL: SEA LANGUAGES AS DIASPORA LANGUAGES IN EUROPE

Convenor: Antonia Soriente & Francesca Moro, University of Naples
L’Orientale, Italy

Keywords: heritage languages, diasporas, language maintenance,
language contact, bilingualism, family language policy, South-East
Asia languages

Panel Abstract
The study of the languages of the South-East Asian diaspora has
developed in the last 20 years involving communities in Australia,
(McLeod, Verdon & Wang 2021, Lising 2022, Utomo 2015), in the United
States (Young & Myluong, 1999 and Teachout, 2005) and Canada (Umbal &
Nagy 2021, Nagy 2021, Le & Trofimovich, 2023), but has been almost
ignored in European countries with big diaspora communities such as
France and Italy. Actually, according to a recent study on heritage
speakers in Italy (Biazzi 2018), migrants from SEA are the most
multilingual of all. However, this multilingualism is maintained only
by first generation speakers, and not all languages in their rich
repertoires are transmitted to the children. A similar finding has
been observed in the Netherlands, where research by Florey and van
Engelenhoven (2001) among migrants form the Moluccas (Indonesia) has
uncovered remaining speakers of approximately twenty-five languages
indigenous to the Moluccas, some of which are highly endangered. This
panel examines heritage language maintenance practices, multilingual
choices, and family language policy among SEA diaspora communities in
Europe, a topic sporadically explored so far, except for few studies
on the East Timorese in Portugal (Goglia & Afonso 2012), or the Thai
in the German periphery (Serwe 2015), the Moluccans in the Netherlands
(Moro 2016), and the Vietnamese in Manchester (Anh 2022). The aim is
to understand the linguistic behaviour and the linguistic choices that
first and second-generation speakers of SEA languages such as the
Filipino in Italy or the Vietnamese in France make in their new home
in the diaspora. We welcome papers that deal with any subfield of
linguistics and different approaches or frameworks on SEA languages as
heritage languages in Europe, such as language use, language contact,
translanguaging or code-switching, family language policy, language
maintenance or loss, language planning, and linguistic identity.

We welcome presentations on issues related to South-East Asia diaspora
communities in Europe and their languages of origin (language
maintenance/shift, language contact, family language policy,
linguistic landscape, etc.)
