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.
