[CogSci] The 15th International Symposium on Bilingualism: Call for papers

Sun Jun 16 23:10:25 PDT 2024

The 15th International Symposium on Bilingualism

- The Different Faces of Bilingualism –

*Call for Papers*

*The 15th* *International Symposium on Bilingualism* will take place on *9-**13
June 2025* in Donostia-San Sebastián (Spain) and will be hosted by the
Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language.

The *theme *of the conference is *The Different Faces of Bilingualism*. This
deliberately broad theme for ISB15 is aimed at meeting ISB’s mission to
create a space for researchers with a diverse range of interests to share
their knowledge and gain new perspectives, and to foster meaningful
cross-disciplinary collaborations. We hope to bring together researchers
working on different faces of bilingualism, including different research
areas, methodological approaches, and populations. In line with this aim,
we have invited plenary speakers who represent different faces of
bilingualism, from sociolinguistics to education, psycholinguistics to
translation. This broad theme reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the
organizing committee, based in a center of excellence for neuroscientific
research into language and bilingualism. To capitalize on this expertise,
ISB15 will feature The Bilingual Brain Day, which is intended to share the
core insights of the field with researchers of other areas and to discuss
the state-of-the-art with researchers in the field. The conference theme
also aims to promote inclusivity, inspired by its location in the Spanish
Basque Country, one of the few regions in the world that has successfully
revived its bilingual heritage across all aspects of society.

ISB15 invites submissions in *all* areas of research on bilingualism and
multilingualism, including but not limited to: linguistics,
sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, applied linguistics,
neuropsychology, language acquisition, clinical linguistics, language and
education, and multilingual societies.

*Keynote speakers:*

·         Laura Bosch (University of Barcelona)

·         Jasone Cenoz (University of the Basque Country)

·         Robert Hartsuiker (Ghent University)

·         Janet van Hell (The Pennsylvania State University)

·         Pia Lane (University of Oslo)

·         Rajend Mesthrie (University of Cape Town)

·         Elizabeth D. Peña (University of California, Irvine)

·         Anthony Pym (Universitat Rovira i Virgili)

We invite abstracts for two categories of submissions: individual papers
and posters.

Individual papers are formal presentations on original research or
pedagogy-focused topics by one or more authors, lasting a maximum of 20
minutes with 5 additional minutes for discussion.

Posters on original research or pedagogy will be displayed in sessions that
offer the opportunity for individualized, informal discussion with others
in the field. Posters are especially effective for presenting
work-in-progress, fieldwork, and results of empirical research for which
data can be presented visually. On each day of the conference, there will
be a 90-minute poster session with presenters in attendance. Posters can be
left on display throughout the entire day of their session.

Preference will be given to abstracts describing completed work with
research results available, but abstracts featuring preliminary data are
also welcome. Abstracts describing research plans will be considered for
poster presentation only.

*Abstract submission for individual papers and posters will open on **18
September 2024** and end at 23:59 (CET) on* *13 November 2024*. Please note
that individual submissions *cannot* be made while the call for symposia is
still open, which will end on 16 September.

Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words in length (including any
references), anonymized and submitted in English via the submission portal:
