The first Bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world (BHL) conference will take place at Leiden University (the Netherlands) on January 14-16, 2015.
BHL
The goal of the BHL is to bring together researchers working on different aspects of bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world. Hence, the BHL will be dedicated to research in any area related to bilingualism, including theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, second language and bilingual acquisition, heritage languages, and psycholinguistics. By bringing together researchers from different perspectives we will be able to share new insights regarding methodology and get a better understanding of bilingualism.
