Meeting Description:

The Conference will enable the theoretical and methodological debate between
several language communities from various continents, considering both
standardized languages  in historical periods as well at present and deal with
linguistic varieties in the process of standardization.

- Its main objective is to deepen the already systematized knowledge about
pluricentric Languages and to welcome scholars from all over the world in
Brazil and to give an insight into the situation and characteristics of as
many varieties and languages as possible.
- As it is the first time such a conference takes place in South America, the
organizer wish to have an increased presence of researchers working on
pluricentric languages of South America and the Americas.'
- In addition  we kindly invite researchers working on European, Asian and
African languages, and thus to have the presence of a large number of diverse
language communities that represent different pluricentric languages.
- We also wish  to take into account that 2019 has been the United Nations
International Year of Indigenous Languages ( https://en.iyil2019.org/ )  and
hope to include the South American pluricentric indigenous languages like
Aymara, Chechua, Guaraní, Maya and others.
