Submissions are solicited for 20-min. papers and posters relating to the conference theme. Studies on any languages and disciplinary takes (e.g. sociolinguistics, linguistic anthropology, discourse studies, pragmatics, ethnography, and language learning and teaching) are welcome. The main working language of the conference is English. Individual papers and posters can be presented in other languages, but no interpretation services are automatically provided by conference organization.
