Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce an international conference on Language and
Democracy organized by the Modern Language Society, to be held at the
University of Tampere on 24-26 August 2017. 

To celebrate the 130th anniversary of the Society and the 100th anniversary of
the Finnish Declaration of Independence, we seek to enhance our understanding
of the notion of “democracy” in language use, and particularly invite papers
that systematically study democratic language practices in a socio-cultural
context, or model the interplay of language and democracy from a more
theoretical perspective. 

The key themes of the conference are language and equality, language
ideologies, language policies, multilingualism, discourses of democracy, and
media discourse and democracy.
 
The following plenary speakers have confirmed their participation:

Professor Ruth Wodak, University of Lancaster
