Meeting Description:
The 1st International Conference on the
Sociolinguistics of Immigration is
a two-day international conference which aims
at bringing together scholars
working on both the empirical and theoretical
challenges posed to
sociolinguistics by recent global migratory
phenomena.
The conference is organized by the Department
of Foreign Languages and
Literatures and Modern Cultures of the
University of Turin, Italy, and it
will take place in Rapallo, Genoa from 25-26
September 2014. The languages
of the conference are: English, French and

2nd Call for Papers:
Please, note that the call for papers has been
extended to 30 March 2014.
The sociolinguistics of immigration is a
relevant multidisciplinary field
of language investigation. The focus of
attention is how immigration can
contribute to phenomena of language spread
and/or diaspora, language
contact, language variation and change, and
also the development of mixed,
hybrid patterns of language use and
identities.
The topics above will be mainly (though not
exclusively) examined from the
following perspectives of analysis: contact
linguistics,
bilingualism/multilingualism, language
variation and change and
language/dialect development.
The abstract submission period opens on 10
January 2014. Abstracts can be
submitted until 30 March 2014 and sent as a
word attachment to
slimig2014.lingue
unito.it. Confirmation of
acceptance will be on 10 May 2014.
