 CALL FOR PAPERS

 Workshop on multilingualism and language endangerment
 Mannheim, Germany
 27.02.-01.03.2002

We are organising a workshop on the topic "Multilingualism and language
endangerment", to be held under the auspices of the Deutsche Gesellschaft
f�r Sprachwissenschaft (German Linguistics Society) at its annual
conference, 27.02.2002 to 01.03.2002, in Mannheim, Germany. See also the DGfS
web site, http://www.dgfs-home.de (Jahrestagungen) for further information.

The workshop will investigate the complex interrelationship between patterns
of societal and individual multilingualism and the degree and type of
endangerment of the community�s language.

We intend the scope of the workshop to interpreted rather broadly at this
stage, ranging from the languages of very small groups outside the
industrial world to small minority languages within the sphere of influence
of heavily dominant national languages in Europe and elsewhere.

Presentations will normally be of half-hour length (20 minutes plus ten
minutes discussion time). However, we intend to include provision for a
small number of one-hour slots for presentations of exceptionally wide
interest and high quality.

Abstract submissions should be
- max. 40 lines including references
- provided with a preference for "half-hour slot" or "one-hour slot"
- unformatted plain email text (no DOC, RTF, HTML, etc.; no attachments)
- sent by email to "gibbonspectrum.uni-bielefeld.de"
- with the subject line "Multilingualism and language endangerment workshop"
- no later than 31 July 2001

Contributors will be notified by 31 August 2001 whether their submission was
successful.
