Call for papers: British Association for Applied Linguistics Language Policy Forum, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, Republic of Croatia, 3-4 June 2027. Deadline: 30 September 2026.
2027 Theme: ‘Language Policy in Context: Bridging Global Perspectives and Local Realities’
The Language Policy Forum is international, affordable, and accessible. The LPF aims to foster international and cross-disciplinary dialogue on contemporary challenges and opportunities in Language Policy and Planning (LPP), recognising the complex interactions between local practices, (inter)national policies, and global developments, and to do so in a way that enables the broadest possible diversity of delegates to attend and enjoy the event. They welcome delegates at all career levels and across different professional sectors.
A special focus of LPF 2027 is the relationship between monocentric and pluricentric language policies, and the ways in which different sociolinguistic traditions conceptualise language standardisation, variation, identity and language management. Contributions examining these issues from comparative, historical or contemporary perspectives are especially encouraged, although not exclusively. We further welcome contributions that engage with questions of multilingualism, linguistic diversity, language rights, language education, migration, digital communication, artificial intelligence, language revitalisation, linguistic landscapes, language ideologies, and the governance of languages in public and private domains.
