Save the Date! (Registration from late January 2019)
Language rules? Languages, standards and linguistic inequality: multilingualism and variation in education, law and citizenship
University of Nottingham, April 15-17, 2019
As part of the AHRC-funded project Multilingualism - Empowering Individuals, Transforming Societies (www.meits.org<http://www.meits.org>), Language Rules will bring together practitioners - teachers, speech therapists, examiners, dictionary-makers, lobbyists, policy-makers, and others - with academics to examine how assumptions about correct, acceptable or standard languages impact on everyday life in a multilingual world, and how to tackle potential inequalities.
The conference includes a public Leverhulme Lecture by the Leverhulme Trust Visiting Professor at the University of Nottingham, Professor Doug Kibbee:
* Professor Doug Kibbee - Language, Law and Linguistic Inequality in the USA and Europe
Other confirmed keynote speakers:
* Brian North - Language standard, plurilingual repertoires and the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)
* Prof. Bettina Migge (University College Dublin) - (In)visible Languages and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
* Prof. Astrid Adler (Institut Deutsche Sprache, Mannheim) - European Language Policies.
Confirmed panels include:
* Language standard, standard languages, and speech therapy
* Multilingualism, language standards, and the law
* Language examinations and language standards
* Learning from history - understanding the multilingual past to inform the present
* Languages and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion
* Translating Research Into Policy
The Nottingham launch of We are Multilingual will also take place as part of the event.
