Meeting Description:

Building upon various approaches in Language Policy and Planning (LPP),
particularly on Language Management Theory (LMT), the Fifth International
Language Management Symposium welcomes papers highlighting interests and power
in language management. Interests and power have been long acknowledged as
important factors in various approaches in LPP. Despite this fact, it is not
an exaggeration to claim that they have been devoted little focused attention
compared to other factors such as motivation in or goals of LPP. Though the
foundational paper of LMT published by B. H. Jernudd and J. V. Neustupný in
1987, entitled ''Language planning: for whom?,'' was devoted to the issue of
interests, this topic has not been taken up and elaborated upon even in this
LPP research tradition. The aim of this symposium, therefore, is to focus on
the themes of interests and power and discuss their role and use in language
management.

Invited speakers:

Jeroen Darquennes (Université de Namur, Belgium)
Björn H. Jernudd (independent scholar, Washington, D.C.)
Goro Christoph Kimura (Sophia University, Tokyo, Japan)

Scientific committee:

Nor Liza Ali (University Teknologi Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur)
Vít Dovalil (Charles University, Prague)
Lisa Fairbrother (Sophia University, Tokyo) 
Sau Kuen Fan (Kanda University of International Studies, Tokyo)
István Lanstyák (Comenius University, Bratislava) 
Hidehiro Muraoka (Chiba University)
Marek Nekula (University of Regensburg)
Jiří Nekvapil (Charles University, Prague)
Tamah Sherman (Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague)


Call for Papers:

We invite proposals for papers which reflect any topic related to language
management and particularly, the special focus of the symposium. Questions for
discussion include (but are not limited to):

- Types of personal or group interests involved in language management
- Divergent/conflicting interests in language management
- Concealing, revealing and legitimizing interests in language management
- Power, powerlessness and empowerment in asserting various kinds of interests
- Power and interests in various phases of linguistic, communication and
socio-cultural  management
- Power and interests in management of speaking in particular interactions
- Sources of power (cultural, social, political, economic or others) that
shape language management
- Power to propose, formulate, defend, participate in or implement a language
policy
- Forming coalitions of actors in language management
- The use and management of power to change/maintain language or communication
- Ways of establishing or enforcing norms of language and communication.

Abstracts (300-500 words) should be sent to the contact e-mail address by
January 20, 2017. The abstracts will be evaluated by the scientific committee
and the authors will be notified by e-mail by February 28, 2017.

Registration and participation is free of charge.
