Final call for individual papers and posters: deadline November 13

The call for individual papers and posters will end on 13 November 2024 (11:59 PM, CET). Thank you to all those who have submitted already. If you are planning to submit, but have not done so yet, please upload your abstract to the ISB15 submission portal by the deadline. 

Individual papers are formal presentations on original research or pedagogy-focused topics by one or more authors, lasting a maximum of 15 minutes with 5 additional minutes for discussion.

Posters on original research or pedagogy will be displayed in sessions that offer the opportunity for individualized, 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. On each day of the conference, there will be a poster session with presenters in attendance. Posters can be left on display throughout the entire day of their session.

Abstracts should be a maximum of 300 words in length (including any references), written in English, and anonymized. 

Abstracts will be reviewed anonymously. Notification of acceptance will be sent by 3 February 2025.

The 15thInternational Symposium on Bilingualism will take place on 9-13 June 2025 in Donostia-San Sebastián (Spain) and will be hosted by the Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language.

The theme of the conference is The Different Faces of Bilingualism. This deliberately broad theme for ISB15 is aimed at meeting ISB’s mission to create a space for researchers with a diverse range of interests to share their knowledge and gain new perspectives, and to foster meaningful cross-disciplinary collaborations. We hope to bring together researchers working on different faces of bilingualism, including different research areas, methodological approaches, and populations. In line with this aim, we have invited plenary speakers who represent different faces of bilingualism, from sociolinguistics to education, psycholinguistics to translation. This broad theme reflects the multidisciplinary nature of the organizing committee, based in a center of excellence for neuroscientific research into language and bilingualism. To capitalize on this expertise, ISB15 will feature The Bilingual Brain Day, which is intended to share the core insights of the field with researchers of other areas and to discuss the state-of-the-art with researchers in the field. The conference theme also aims to promote inclusivity, inspired by its location in the Spanish Basque Country, one of the few regions in the world that has successfully revived its bilingual heritage across all aspects of society.

ISB15 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.
