The theme for this inter-congress is 'Integration of Natural and Social Sciences in the New Pacific Millenium'. Session XII of the Inter-Congress, 'Language Globalization in the Pacific' welcomes dialog among those who are interested in language issues facing populations in the Pacific. Language Globalization in the Pacific (SESSION XIII) This session explores the loss of linguistic diversity throughout the Pacific in a number of different ways. Some scholars will present linguistic descriptions of contemporary language features. Other presentations will analyze the political, historical or economic catalysts which have resulted in the permeation of some languages at the expense of the majority of others. Some studies will consider current issues, problems and solutions to the challenges facing indigenous languages in the Pacific. Other research will demonstrate what historical linguistics reveals about the peopling of the Pacific by examining the spread of Austronesian languages during prehistoric times. Linguists, anthropologists, language planners, political scientists, historians, elders, community agencies and organizations are invited to share their ideas of the roles that indigenous languages play in a modern society.
