Variation and multilingual practices as linguistic resources

We proudly present our key note speaker, Isabelle Léglise. She is Senior Research Fellow at CNRS (Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique) in Paris and Head of the Laboratory Structure & Dynamics of Languages.
Her field of expertise ranges from multilingualism, language variation and change in contact settings to language and mobility, education, and discourse analysis. In her work language practices are considered social practices which positions her perspective at the heart of the Sociolinguistics Circle conference. She has an impressive list of high-quality publications, not only in terms of numbers but also in terms of the diversity of topics.
