Call for Papers: 'Language Globalization in the Pacific'
(Session XII of the Pacific Science 10th Inter-Congress)
June 1-6, 2000 at Hilton Guam Resort & Spa, Tumon, Guam

The Pacific Science Association & the University of Guam cordially
invite you to the 10th Pacific Science Inter-Congress to be convened in
Tumon, Guam from June 1 through 6.  The theme for this inter-congress is
'Integration of Natural and Social Sciences in the New Pacific
Millenium'. Session XII of the Inter-Congress, 'Language Globalization
in the Pacific' welcomes dialog among those who are interested in
language issues facing populations in the Pacific.

Language Globalization in the Pacific (SESSION XIII)
This session explores the loss of linguistic diversity throughout the
Pacific in a number of different ways.  Some scholars will present
linguistic descriptions of contemporary language features.  Other
presentations will analyze the political, historical or economic
catalysts which have resulted in the permeation of some languages at the
expense of the majority of others.  Some studies will consider current
issues, problems and solutions to the challenges facing indigenous
languages in the Pacific.  Other research will demonstrate what
historical linguistics reveals about the peopling of the Pacific by
examining the spread of Austronesian languages during prehistoric
times.  Linguists, anthropologists, language planners, political
scientists, historians, elders, community agencies and organizations are
invited to share their ideas of the roles that indigenous languages play
in a modern society.
