About the International Symposium on Bilingualism

Arizona State University will host the 4th International Symposium on 
Bilingualism (ISB4) from April 30 to May 3, 2003. The International 
Symposium on Bilingualism, concerned with basic and applied research in the 
field of bilingualism, began at the initiative of Li Wei and Nick Miller of 
the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, who organized ISB1 in 1997 and ISB2 
in 1999. The event moved to the University of the West of England-Bristol 
in 2001, where Jeanine Treffers-Daller served as the chair of the 
organizing committee for ISB3. ISB is widely regarded as the premier 
international forum for the discussion and dissemination of research on 
bilingualism. It regularly attracts the most visible members of the field 
in colloquia, paper and poster presentations, and keynote addresses.

ISB4 at Arizona State University will feature presentations by scholars 
from forty-nine different countries, representing a wide variety of 
interests and disciplinary perspectives. To learn more about the event,

ISB4 Program Highlights

In addition to the scheduled keynote speeches, colloquia and workshops 
listed below, ISB4 will feature 308 paper presentations, organized into 61 
sessions, and 58 poster exhibitions. Due to time constraints, all 
presentations except keynote speeches will be offered in parallel sessions.
