Call Deadline: 01-Mar-2022 

Meeting Description:

Language policy is a form of public policy that in many countries finds its
basis in constitutions, laws, decrees, or simply tradition. The contributions
in the symposium will compare and scrutinize, both empirically and
theoretically, the role of rules and incentives in influencing individual
linguistic practices and representations. In addition, the symposium explores
the intended and observed effects of the implementation of different
language-policy instruments on speakers’ behavior and on multilingual
practices in organizations.


Keynote speakers:

Ainoa Aparicio Fenoll, Dipartimento di Scienze economico-sociali e
matematico-statistiche, Università degli Studi di Torino and Collegio Carlo
Alberto, Turin

Fernand de Varennes, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues

Call for Papers:

Submissions addressing the general theme of the symposium are invited,
including but not limited to the following questions:
- To what extent and how do international norms influence language policy?
- Is the public status (the social, economic, or political standing, etc.) of
a minority reflected in the actual conduction of language policies?
- Do members of different minorities react differently to given policy
measures?
- Should, and if so, how can language policy be “tailor-made” for each
linguistic minority?
- What would be a sensible minority and/or language policy for the European
Union?
- Which legal rules and decision-making processes create the strongest
incentives for reaching the given goals of language policy?
- Do economic incentives play a role in promoting multilingualism in the
public sector?
- Are formal binding rules more effective in language policy and planning than
indirect incentives?
- Do symbolic incentives play an important role in language policy and
planning?

Selected papers can be submitted to a thematic issue of the journal ''Language
Problems & Language Planning'' and will be subjected to the normal refereeing
procedure.
