Meeting Description:

Interdisciplinary graduate conference at Munich University,
February 16-18 2011, Palaeontological Museum Munich, Richard-Wagner-
Straße 10

The doctoral programmes of Linguistics and Literature at Munich University
invite you to join their interdisciplinary conference Speaking about
Boundaries. Multilingualism in Europe and the World.

In the encounter with the language of the 'other', even one's own may seem
like a potential foreign language, reveal strange or estranging elements, but
may also point to what is alien in the other language. It is particularly
minority languages, official languages and language prohibitions that render
the dimensions and potentials of language policy observable and show how
language can be used as an instrument of the demonstration and
realization of power. At the same time, language contacts can also lead to
the emergence of hybrids, new forms of language and language play -
notably in the era of globalization. Artificial languages and utopian language
designs often constitute reactions to the difficulties and possibilities of
multilingualism, or they are the results of an artful, creative handling of the
medium. The conference is dealing with the phenomenon of multilingualism
by focusing at three core areas:
