Thank you to those who already submitted abstracts to the conference on
Multilingualism Across Disciplinary Borders (MAD 2014)!

Anaid, Loubna, and I hope that this will give those still interested in

SeDyl) are pleased to announce an international conference on
Multilingualism across Disciplinary Borders, MAD 2014, to be held at the
American University of Beirut, on April 7‐9, 2014. This three‐day event
aims to bring together researchers working in different disciplines on
issues related to multilingualism at the individual and social levels in
order to foster cross‐disciplinary exchanges. The following invited
speakers will feature at the conference:

Invited Speakers

Recherche pour le Développement, France

Researchers are invited to submit proposals for individual paper
presentations to be considered for inclusion in the conference program.
Proposals may address theoretical and empirical research on any aspect of
multilingualism or related topics, included but not limited to:
•    Educational challenges in a multilingual society
•    Linguistic practices (e.g. code‐switching and code mixing) in
multilingual contexts
•    Multilingualism and new technologies
•    Language(s) and the law
•    Language contact, language variation, and language change
•    Language maintenance, standards, and norms in multilingual societies
•    Language policy in multilingual societies
•    Typical and atypical language development in multilingual contexts
•    Multilingualism and cognition
•    Linguistic diversity across ethnic and socio‐ cultural groups
•    Public policies in a multilingual society (e.g. access to health care)
•    Multilingualism and creativity
•    Strategies of multilingual speakers and writers

We encourage proposals dealing with interdisciplinary issues.

Presentations to be included in the program will be selected through a
rigorous double‐blind review process. Presentations will be 20 minutes with
10 minutes for questions and discussion. A special volume on
multilingualism across disciplinary borders based on selected papers from
the conference is in preparation.
