Directory         1.     Kristin Reinke , Call: Montreal as a Speech Community Session Message 1: Call: Montreal as a Speech Community Session Date: 08-Dec-2011 From: Kristin Reinke <reinkeuni-mainz.de> Subject: Call: Montreal as a Speech Community Session E-mail this message to a friend Dear colleagues, In August 2012, the Freie Universität Berlin will be hosting the next Sociolinguistics symposium. The general theme of the 19th edition of this international conference, organized by Matthias Hüning, Uli Reich et Norbert Dittmar, will be Language and the city. As always, this symposium will include a large number of thematic sessions dealing with different issues and topics. We would like to draw your attention to a thematic session that we will be organizing on the occasion: Montreal, a francophone, anglophone and multilingual city. Our goal is to bring together scholars from different disciplinary (i.e. sociolinguistics, but also anthropology, sociology, etc.) and linguistic (i.e. people working on French, English or immigrant languages) backgrounds that are interested in Montreal as a speech community. The complete description of this thematic session can be found on the conference website (where you will also find a list of the main topics we would like to address during the session). If you would like to present a paper, please submit a proposition through the submission tool used by the organizers of the conference (once again, this tool is available on the website). Each proposition will be reviewed by two peers (one of the organizers of the conference and one of the organizers of the thematic session). We are looking forward to reading your submissions and to meeting you in Berlin in 2012, Best regards, Wim Remysen (Université de Sherbrooke; Wim.RemysenUSherbrooke.ca) Kristin Reinke (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz; reinkeuni- mainz.de) Thematic session website: http://neon.niederlandistik.fu- berlin.de/ss19/sessions/100 Conference website: http://www.sociolinguistics-symposium-2012.de/ Linguistic Field(s): Sociolinguistics Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 10-Dec-2011       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
