International Conference on Language, Literature & Linguistics 2013 ( LLL 2013) , Srilanka, 2-3 Dec.2013

About the Conference

Language plays an important role in  the modern society and represent diverse aspirations and needs, cultures, traditions, and practices. Literature represents a language or a people: culture and tradition. Literature introduces us to new worlds of experience. We learn about books and literature; we enjoy the comedies and the tragedies of poems, stories, and plays; and we may even grow and evolve through our literary journey with books. Linguistics offers different approaches to the study of how communities, groups and individuals communicate with one another.

To promote the importance of language learning and facilitate our understanding of literature, and broaden our knowledge of linguistics, ICRD is organizing the LLL 2013  in Colombo, Sri Lanka, which is the most vibrating city in South Asia.

The LLL 2013  will look into various issues in relation to the use and learning of different languages. This conference covers topics pertaining to applied linguistics and theoretical linguistics in various institutional, social, and cultural contexts. The conference also welcomes presentations based on studies conducted from inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary perspectives, involving research into language/s in different academic disciplines. LLL 2013  hopes  to provide an interesting platform for researchers, academics, language practitioners, policy makers and  postgraduate candidates, to share knowledge ,exchange ideas and establish academic relationships.
