-
We are very pleased to be able to host COM2021 in Konstanz organised by the Department of Linguistics, the project The Multilingual Mind, and the Centre for Multilingualism.
Given the continuing travel restrictions and uncertainty due to COVID-19 we have decided to host COM2021 online.
About COM2021
The Conference on Multilingualism has its origin in 2005 at the University of Trento, where it was known under the name of “Workshop on Bilingualism”. In 2016, the conference was renamed to “Conference on Multilingualism” in order to include a broader range of aspects of multilingualism. It is aimed at exploring the many different aspects of multilingualism in the fields of linguistics, psychology, neurology, sociology and educational sciences. In the past, it was held in Ghent, in Leiden, and in Reading. In 2021 it is coming to Konstanz.
