Call for Papers - Deadline Approaching: LPP2015 - Multidisciplinary
Approaches in Language Policy and Planning Conference 2015




Dear Colleagues,

     This is a friendly reminder about the call for papers for the fourth
annual international conference 'Multidisciplinary Approaches in Language
Policy and Planning' that will take place at the University of Calgary on
September 3-5, 2015.  The third conference 2014 was very successful. There
were scholarly papers and colloquia on a range of topics given by about 80
registrants from 17 countries, a talk by Canada's Commissioner of Official
Languages, and stimulating plenary talks by distinguished scholars.

The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2015.

Please see the details about LPP2015 below.

•       Language policies and transnational communities

Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously by at least two experts in the field.
Final decisions will be sent to authors by April 15, 2015.

Each paper presentation should be 30 minutes, including discussion time.
Colloquia can be for 100 minutes (3 papers) and 180 minutes (up to 6
