Meeting Description:	Negotiation & Renegotiation Department of French & Italian Graduate Student Conference in Literature and Linguistics Indiana University-Bloomington, March 1-2, 2013 ‘Negotiations, then, will never be motivated solely by ideals of truth and validity; there will always be an element of interest, mostly conflicting interest and, hence, of power, driving them forward.’ Anne Eriksen and Jón Vidhar Sigurdhsson, Negotiating Pasts in the Nordic Countries: Interdisciplinary Studies in History and Memory. (Sweden: Nordic Academic Press, 2010), 21. This conference will examine the themes of Negotiation and Renegotiation in any area of French or Italian Studies.

How do speakers negotiate meaning within and across languages/dialects? How do language learners negotiate acquisition?
