This year, LPP2020 will be introducing the Plurilingual Experience: we will accept submissions of abstracts written in English or French (Canada’s official languages) but papers can be delivered in any language.


We welcome papers, discussion sessions, colloquia, and poster presentations on a wide variety of topics related to language policy scholarship; see the Call for Papers webpage for complete information.
