Current Issues in Language Planning


Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2006

Second Call

Language Planning (LP) for naming, an aspect of corpus planning, covers a
broad spectrum from laws affecting personal names, to government
regulations on toponyms, to international standards in scientific
nomenclature, to standardised naming practices by organisations and
groups.

This issue of Current Issues in Language Planning (CILP) will focus on
both broad policy issues in polities and organisations and on specific
instances of LP in relation to naming. Papers of up to 8,000 words are
invited, though short focused papers would also be appropriate. Abstracts
of about 300 words should be sent to Pauline.Bryant at anu.edu.au by 30
November 2006, and final papers by 28 February 2007. Information on
Current Issues in Language Planning, including guidelines for authors, is
at www.cilp.net.
