Meeting Description:

Conference theme: ‘Le français et ses frontières’ / 'The French language and
its borders'

The next AFLS annual conference will take place from 7 to 9 September 2023 at
the University of Lille in France (in person only). The University of Lille
lies in the Hauts-de-France Region, a changing territory, a migratory passage
zone towards Northern Europe and the United Kingdom; the Hauts-de-France
Region is also a reception zone for foreigners, and a border city with
Belgium. In this context, the annual conference proposes to address the
linguistic, sociolinguistic and didactic issues of French and its borders by
exploring: 
- the (socio)linguistic dimension: what variations (spatial, situational,
linguistic), varieties and uses of French might be observed within or across
borders? What language policies are associated with them?
- the acquisitional/didactic dimension: what constraints do physical and/or
psychological borders imply on language learning, especially in a migratory
context? What are the impacts on the teaching of French within and outside
borders?

It is therefore intended to question the borders of the French language as a
finite boundary but also as a more distant and permeable border.


Call for Papers:

We invite papers that address any topic in the broad area of ‘The French
language and its borders / Le français et ses frontières’ or that fall within
the areas traditionally covered by AFLS. Papers taking a wide variety of
theoretical and methodological approaches are welcome. 
Proposals may take the form of a paper or a workshop (panel of 4 oral papers
followed by time for synthesis/discussion).
Speakers will be given 30 minutes for oral papers (20 minutes, plus 10 minutes
for questions). The workshops will not exceed 2 hours.

Abstracts may be submitted via the EasyChair platform:
https://colloque-afls-2023.univ-lille.fr/.

Abstracts should be no longer than 300 words (including title and references),
plus 5 keywords. For workshops, put the presentation and the 4 abstracts in
the same document.
Abstracts should be anonymized, and should state explicitly which field they
focus on (using the keywords to do so).

Conference papers are welcome in either French or English, and abstracts
should be written in the language of the presentation.
