generally or within particular countries, and the consequences for
linguistic minorities affected;

* the role of minority languages in resisting negative stereotyping,
prejudice or discrimination
* the differential response of governments and public bodies to
minority language claims (especially in regard to education, law,
welfare, and cultural expression).
Papers addressing these and related questions should be submitted in=20
