The traditional sociolinguistics course at La Seu Universitària de La Nucía has reached its 39th edition this year, titled “Languages in Motion: Migration and Linguistic Reception in a Context of Minoritisation.” The course has garnered over a hundred registrations, according to the organisers, and will take place over two weekends, concluding on 21 November.
This year's programme will cover topics related to linguistic integration policies, as well as facilitate the exchange of experiences and discussions among researchers, educators, and professionals in the field.
The opening ceremony featured remarks from Vicent Martines, director of La Seu Universitària de La Nucía, Jordi Antolí, course coordinator, and Pedro Lloret, deputy mayor of La Nucía. The inaugural day also included a special acknowledgment of María Antonia Cano, a professor at the University of Alicante, for her contributions to various editions of the sociolinguistics course.
