The second DYLAN doctoral school offers doctoral students access to novel analytical perspectives on multilingualism, with a focus on opening avenues for potential future interdisciplinary developments. Furthermore, it aims at enabling participants to position their own work with respect to various strands of research, both in order to assess how the latter question their respective research assumptions, and in order to allow students to show how their own work calls into question assumptions frequently made in existing research. The second DYLAN doctoral school is designed to emphasise the “interdisciplinary ethos” of the DYLAN project.

Topics

The doctoral school aims at fostering personalised interaction between instructors and students as well as among students. It can accommodate 12 to 15 doctoral students who are actively involved (presenting and discussing their work), plus students who do not intend to present their work, but who wish to listen to the presentations and take part in the discussions.

The doctoral school will focus on the three following topics. An entire day will be devoted to each.

  • Incentives in language behaviour by Prof. Dr. José Ramón Uriarte (University of the Basque Country Bilbao, Department of Economics).
  • Models of Language dynamics by Prof. Dr. Bengt-Arne Wickström (Humboldt-Universität Berlin, Department of Economics).
  • Socio-psychological dimensions of individual multilingualism by Prof. Dr. Jean-Marc Dewaele (Birkbeck College, University of London, Department of European Cultures and Languages).
