MEETING DESCRIPTION: The aim of this symposium is to bring together scholars who are interested in how language ideologies and attitudes are constructed in multilingual or language contact settings, and how they may create unequal relations of power. We would like to discuss the methodological tools to access and analyze the processes and outcomes of language ideologies and attitudes in multilingual/contact settings. We welcome contributions that deal with any aspect of ideologies, attitudes and power in language contact settings (especially, but not limited to, multilingual settings involving Romance Language varieties).
