Call for Papers: ISB9, Singapore






***********************************

The International Symposium on Bilingualism (ISB9)



CAL’s Language Policy Research Network (LPReN) invites proposals for
inclusion in an LPReN-hosted colloquium for submission to the call for
the International Symposium on Bilingualism (ISB9), to be held in
Singapore June 10-13, 2013
(http://linguistics.hss.ntu.edu.sg/ISB9/Main.html).



The theme of the 9th ISB Symposium is 'Multilingualism', it reflects
Singapore's status as a thriving language hub. Singapore is the
essence of what ISB is all about as it is home to at least 20
different languages. Most Singaporeans are bilingual and many are
multilingual. Due to its historical and geographical position as a
meeting point of many cultures, the linguistic landscape of Singapore
has long been fascinating to scholars for many decades. More
importantly, Singapore is located at the heart of the world's most
linguistically diverse region making it an excellent stage for the
types of issues and debates we hear in ISB meetings.



For the LPReN-hosted colloquim, papers should directly reflect one of
the topics below.

language attrition
language policy and ideology of bilingualism/multilingualism
language shift, language maintenance and language loss
multilingualism, migration and identities



This call invites both paper submissions and proposals for individual
authors to serve as Chair of the colloquium. Acceptable candidates for
colloquium Chair must be recognized scholars in the field of language
policy, planning, politics, management, or a related field. Proposed
Chair submissions should include curriculum vitae.

Proposal submissions to lpren at cal.org are due by October 26, 2012.
