International Symposium on Bilingualism 7



8-11 July 2009 Utrecht



The Utrecht Institute of Linguistics OTS (UiL OTS) of Utrecht
University, the Netherlands, hosts the 7th International Symposium on
Bilingualism (ISB7) from July, 8 - 11, 2009.



The first and second editions of the bi-annual International Symposium
on Bilingualism were organised in Newcastle upon Tyne (UK) in 1997 and
1999, respectively, and ISB3 took place in Bristol. After 2003, ISB
left the UK and in 2003, Arizona State University hosted ISB4. ISB5
was held in Barcelona in 2005, and in 2007, Hamburg hosted ISB6. Oslo
will be the venue for ISB8 in 2011.



With 500-700 participants nowadays, ISB has developed into one of the
most important conferences in the field of bilingualism worldwide.
