We are pleased to announce the 5th edition of the Bilingualism in the

multilingualism, including, but not limited to:
 - Psycholinguistic aspects of multilingualism
 - Second language and bilingual/multilingual acquisition, including
heritage languages
 - Bilingualism/multilingualism in society and culture (e.g., language
contact, identity, migration, language policy)
 - Bilingualism/multilingualism in education and technology (e.g.,
teaching in multilingual classrooms, language learning apps, digital
inclusion)
 - Theoretical linguistics related to bilingual and multilingual
phenomena
