Call for Papers
The sociolinguistics of immigration is a relevant multidisciplinary
field of language investigation. The focus of attention is on, from the
one hand how immigration can contribute to phenomena of language spread
and/or diaspora, language contact, language variation and change, from
the other the development of mixed, hybrid patterns of language use and
identities. The topics above will be mainly (though not exclusively)
examined from the following perspectives of analysis: contact
linguistics, bilingualism/multilingualism, language variation and change
and language/dialect development.
Each abstract should not exceed 500 words (incl. at least four keywords
and references). Text should be justified and single-spaced (font size:
Times New Roman 12pt). Name, affiliation, and e-mail address should be
on separate first page of the electronic copy. Abstracts can be
submitted until 10th March 2014 and sent as a word attachment to
