Meeting Description:

This fifth international Symposium is to be held online from December 9th
2019. We invite researchers, students, teachers and community members who are
interested in sharing their work and insights on aspects of language, culture
and ethnicity in indigenous and minority languages.

Because this symposium is held online and asynchronous it involves no air
travel so it is fully environmentally friendly.
 
Special focus on indigenous languages:

By definition, the intergenerational transmission of indigenous and minority
languages occurs in situations where a majority language and culture provides
a dominant political and social landscape which is often not conducive to
raising a child bilingually. Parents' decisions concerning a family language
policy will often attempt to take into account the perceived cultural,
identity and ethnicity needs of the child from the perspective of both the
majority language environment and the minority or indigenous context. Unless
the minority language has high status (like English) the resulting tensions
contribute an extra challenge to parents who decide to raise their child
bilingually.

We invite papers and posters which explore these tensions. Because 2019 is the
United Nations Year of Indigenous Languages we would like to include a special
focus on indigenous languages.


Call for Papers:

We invite researchers, students, teachers and community members who are
interested in sharing their work and insights on aspects of language, culture
and ethnicity in indigenous and minority languages.

Because this symposium is held online and asynchronous it involves no air
travel so it is fully environmentally friendly.

We invite papers and posters which explore these tensions. Because 2019 is the
United Nations Year of Indigenous Languages we would like to include a special
focus on indigenous languages.

You are invited to submit a 150-200 word abstract for either a paper or poster
presentation:

to itml5 at isd.su.se
by 4 October 2019

Presentations are to be prerecorded (instructions will be supplied) and will
be made available on the symposium website from 9 December 2019 where there
will be provision for comments, questions, responses, and discussion.

The idea is that the presentations will be available indefinitely unless
presenters request otherwise. This makes the presentations available to a much
wider audience of researchers, students and interested community members and
policy makers than would otherwise be reached.
