ABOUT COM2020

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 and in Leiden. In 2020, it is coming to Reading!

We are very pleased to announce our keynote speakers:

Rowena Kasprowicz (University of Reading)

Joao Verissimo (University of Potsdam)

Minna Lehtonen  (University of Oslo)
