Title: Call for Proposals: 16th International Conference on Minority Languages and 34th Summer School and Conference of Applied Language Studies
Body:
From https://www.jyu.fi/en/congress/applied-summerschool/summerschool2017/cfp-icml
The University of Jyväskylä Language Campus is pleased to organize the 16th International Conference on Minority Languages along with the 34th Summer School and Conference of Applied Language Studies, which will be held in Jyväskylä & Närpes, Finland, August 28-30, 2017.
The peripheral position of minority languages, as structured by nation-state logics, and the central role endowed to them in the political projects of various minority groups are now complexified by both the increasing economic value of minority languages as a resource of distinction and authenticity, and by the intensified mobility of languages and their speakers. Some of the consequences of this complexification result in re-evaluating relationship between minority and migrant languages and the trajectories of so-called “new speakers” of minority languages.
ICML XVI will address critical questions such as how minority languages are valued, by whom and under what conditions.
The conference is open to researchers, students and stakeholders from across the multidisciplinary field of minority languages.
The submission of proposals is now open and closes on February 28, 2017.
