You are cordially invited to submit a proposal to read a paper at
AN INTENATIONAL CONFERENCE ON
LANGUAGE AND IDENTITY
Sponsored by
THE AMERICAN SOCIETY OF GEOLINGUISTICS
and
BARUCH COLLEGE OF THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
at
BARUCH COLLEGE
THE CITY UNIVERSITY OF NEW YORK
October 4-5, 2002
Papers on any aspect of the topic should take 15 minutes to read aloud
but may be expanded to as many as 15 pages (single-spaced, with one-line
spaces between paragraphs) for publication in the proceedings. Those will
appear early in 2003. Participants are asked to submit final articles
to the secretary by December 15, 2002.

underlies ethnic unity and fuels political aspirations, whether speakers
have a country or their own or (as with gypsies or the Kurds) not. The
conference will address all the cultural, economic, political and other
ramifications of the connections between language and personal, group,
and national identities; the impact of artificial and dominant international
languages; the have/have-nots of the modern technological world with its
special languages; bilingualism and language competition/legislation;
language as affecting the personality and the tribe; and more. The conference
is, like other ASG conferences since 1985, under the direction of Prof.
Leonard R. N. Ashley, president of ASG, and the secretary again is Prof.
Wayne H. Finke. Prof. Finke may be contacted now with early proposals
(to 400 words) for papers, questions about registration fees, $45.00 (as

Enjoy New York City in the fall and participate with colleagues from the
US and abroad in an important scholarly meeting!
