CALL FOR PAPERS

The 6th International Symposium on Bilingualism invites proposals for
presentations on any aspect of research on bilingualism. Topics may
include
grammatical development in bilingual children, sociolinguistic and
grammatical studies of code-switching, psycholinguistic studies of
bilingualism, bilingual speech processing, language impairment in
bilinguals, translation and interpreting, sociolinguistic studies of
bilingual communities and migration, child/adult second language
acquisition, language policy and ideology, language shift, language
attrition/forgetting.

Proposals regarding original, previously unpublished research on
bilingualism are invited in three formats: Colloquia, individual
papers, and
posters.

Proposals for colloquia: colloquia are collections of paper
presentations
which relate to a narrowly defined topic of interest, and are offered in
either 2-hour or 3-hour time blocks. Proposals for colloquia are
limited to
3000 characters, and should include brief summaries of each of the
papers to
be included, along with individual paper titles and individual authors'
names, professional affiliations, and email addresses. Sufficient detail
should be provided to allow peer reviewers to judge the scientific
merit of
the proposal. A chair for the session must also be identified. It is the
responsibility of the person submitting a proposal for a colloquium to
secure the permission and cooperation of all participants before the
proposal is submitted. Proposals for colloquia must indicate whether a
2-hour or 3-hour time block is requested. Typically, each paper
presentation
within a colloquium should be scheduled for 30 minutes, including time
for
discussion.

Proposals for individual papers or posters: please submit an abstract
of no
more than 3000 characters. The abstract should include enough detail to
allow reviewers to judge the scientific merits of the proposal.
Abstracts
for paper/poster presentations will be double-blind peer-reviewed.
Authors
will be asked to specify a format (paper presentation or poster
session) at
the time the work is submitted.

Please submit your proposal online at www.isb6.org. Deadline for
proposal
submission is October 13th, 2006. If you have problems with online
submission, please do not hesitate to contact our conference
coordinator at
