11th International Conference on Bilingual Studies CfP

[Randy LaPolla]

The International Association for Bilingual Studies (formerly Bilingual
Studies Research Center) was founded in 1999 at Minzu University of China,
under the leadership of Professor Dai Qingxia. Beginning with the
Association’s First International Conference during the same year, the
Association has held ten conferences within and outside of China (the 9th
International Conference (2012) was held in Thailand, and the recent 10th
International Conference (2013) was held in Guiyang, China).

The Association, emphasizing the importance of bilingualism in modern
society, highly values scholarly research, insights and discussions on
bilingualism. The Association hopes to build stronger ties among scholars,
to help them develop a deeper understanding of the issues related to
bilingualism, and to push bilingual studies to new heights, and so the
Association organizes annual conferences as an avenue for exploring,
sharing and learning.

The 11th International Conference on Bilingual Studies will be organized by
Chiang Kai Shek College, and held in Manila, Philippines, from February 12
to 15, 2015. Scholars and researchers involved in the discipline are highly
encouraged to participate.
