The theme of the 10th ISB is "uncovering
multilingualism". New Brunswick, New Jersey is home to a
large number of multilingual speakers who speak a
variety of native languages of the Americas in addition
to Spanish and English. Walking down the streets of the
immigrant neighborhoods in the city, one can catch a
glimpse of languages from Mexico and Central America
that are only used among close networks of speakers. But
once the different layers of languages are uncovered, a
complex world of linguistic diversity and potential
resources emerges as a representation of the larger
e\reality of the United States.

Workshop on bilingual morphology
Large numbers of people are bilingual in the US and
the world. How are words in the two languages
represented and processed in their minds? Do they treat
parts of words similarly in the two languages? Does it
pose any special challenges? This National Science
Foundation funded workshop brings together
multidisciplinary researchers to discuss recent findings
about how bilingual speakers learn, process and
represent the internal structure of words.(Read more)
