International Symposium on Bilingualism 14 – Diversity Now – Now Accepting Abstract Submissions The 14th International Symposium on Bilingualism will
take place on 26-30 June 2023 at
Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
The theme of
the conference is Diversity Now.
The United Nations General Assembly has declared the period between 2022 and 2032 as the International Decade of Indigenous Languages to draw attention to the critical status of many Indigenous languages across the world and toencourage
action for their preservation, revitalisation, and promotion. ISB14 especially encourages submissions of work involving lesser-studied bilingual communities and interdisciplinary work examining bilingualism across cultures, societies, and the life-span.
ISB14 invites submissions in all areas
of research on bilingualism and multilingualism, including but not limited to: linguistics, sociolinguistics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, applied linguistics, neuropsychology, language acquisition, clinical linguistics, language and education, and
multilingual societies.

We invite abstracts for two categories of submissions: individual papers and posters.
Individual papers are formal presentations on original research or pedagogy-focused topics by one or more authors, lasting a maximum of 20
minutes with 5 additional minutes for discussion.
Posters on original research or pedagogy will be displayed in sessions that offer the opportunity for individualised, informal discussion
with others in the field. Posters are especially effective for presenting work-in-progress, fieldwork, and results of empirical research for which data can be presented visually. Posters will be available throughout an entire day of the conference with presenters
in attendance for a 90-minute poster session.
Abstract submission is now
open and will end on 30 November 2022.
Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 28 February 2023.
Enquiries regarding the academic content of submissions should be addressed to the ISB14 Scientific Committee via ISB14.ScientificCommittee@westernsydney.edu.au.
