2016 PASE Conference

Dear Colleagues, We are planning to publish two monographic volumes in Springer, one for language studies submissions, and the other for literature and culture studies. The submissions which will not be strictly connected with the themes of the volumes, i.e. multiculturalism, multiculturalism and the self, will have a chance – if accepted - to be published in our journals. Make sure your text has been proofread by a native speaker before its submission and that it strictly follows the required stylesheet (see website). The deadline for submissions is 31st July 2016. The length of the text should be 5000-7000 words. Please submit your texts to 2016pase@gmail.com, as attachments to the above e-mail address, with the heading: - for language submissions: language.name.doc - for culture submissions: culture.name.doc Stylesheet: APA 6 (guidelines on this stylesheet are given at the website: http://www.pase.us.edu.pl). With warm wishes, The Editors.

Dear Colleagues, You can now download the 2016 PASE Booklet from the Conference website: http://www.pase.us.edu.pl/PASE%202016%20Conference%20Materials%20-%20Final%20version.pdf. Copies of the booklet have also already been printed by our intrepid Team, and are waiting impatiently for you to claim them upon your arrival to Szczyrk :-). We are greatly excited to be hosting you in the Beskid Mountains soon!

Dear Colleagues, We are still working on the final version of the Conference Programme and Conference Booklet, which will include abstracts of all your papers. These should appear at the Conference website in about a week. We will be regularly updating you about all new developments. Looking very much forward to meeting you soon in Szczyrk! :-)

Dear Colleagues, We would like to remind you that participants are welcome to use our university shuttle bus on Wednesday, 30th March 2016. The exact departure time as well as the pickup spot will be announced later. The bus will take the participants directly to the conference site in Szczyrk. If you want to reserve a place on the bus, please do so by writing to the organisers at 2016pase@gmail.com by 20th February 2016 at the latest. We regret to inform that reservations made after that date will not guarantee a seat on the shuttle bus. Some of the seats have already been reserved but there are still some free places.

Dear Colleagues! We are currently compiling the PASE 2016 Book of Abstracts which we will soon add to the PASE 2016 website. Stay tuned for updates. PS. The quality and research span of your proposals vouchsafe that the Conference will be an inspiring and stimulating experience. Thank you!

Dear Colleagues! Here's a sneak-peek at some of the attractions we have in store for you - our Distinguished Plenary Speakers have revealed the titles of their talks! Professor Anthony Barker, "Finessing the Multilingual World in Commercial English Cinema" Professor Jean-Marc Dewaele, "Why multiculturalism and multilingualism enrich the self" Professor Frank Ferguson, "Beyond the Hamely Tongue: Multicultural Selves in Ulster-Scots Literature" Professor Rafał Molencki, "Multiculturalism, Multilingualism and the Self in Medieval England" Professor Claus Schatz-Jakobsen, "On the Uses and Abuses of Literature for Culture and Life"

Dear Colleagues! Thank you very much for your presentation proposals, which we are now reading carefully. We will soon be getting back to you directly with further notifications. We have also decided to extend the deadline for submissions until January 31st, 2016, so there is still quite some time to send your proposal if you have not yet managed to do so :-).
