The Department of Foreign Languages at Towson University announces the 6th

be limited to:
 - National reception of dialect/minority-language literature and verbal
culture
 - Dialects/diglossia and their role in group identity formation
 - The standardization of national and/or majority language(s) and its impact
on national or regional politics
 - Multilingualism and its negotiation and practice by the communities of use.
      
 - Use(s) of indigenous languages under transnational states
 - Migration
 - Translation studies
 - Raciolinguistics 
 - Language policy and planning 

Dr. Sandro Sessarego, Associate Professor in the Department of Spanish and
Portuguese at the University of Texas at Austin, will be our Keynote Speaker.


Call for Papers: 

Deadline extended to Nov. 15. 

The scope of the conference is not limited by region, language, or time
period.  Proposals involving languages taught by the Department of Foreign
Languages (Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Ancient Greek, Biblical and Modern
Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Latin, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swahili)
are especially encouraged. Proposals are welcomed across disciplines, from
scholars of languages and literatures, education, geography, history,
psychology, anthropology, and sociology. Please send an abstract of 250 words
by email to: Prof. Francisco Martínez Ibarra (fmartinezibarra at towson.edu). 
Please include your name, institution affiliation, day telephone, and email
address.  Please note that Conference papers must be in English and limited to
20 minutes.

Proposals for panels with multiple speakers are also welcome provided they fit
within the 90-minute time frame of each session. 

We are considering publishing the conference proceedings, pending
participants’ interest. 

Faculty at all ranks, as well as graduate students, are encouraged to
participate. We will offer discounted hotel rooms near campus, and a graduated
scale of conference fees.
