Bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world (BHL)

ABOUT

The BHL is a biennial international conference (Leiden 2015, 2019; Florida 2017; Puebla 2024) that brings together researchers working on different aspects of bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world to share new insights regarding methodology and extend and strengthen the dialogue on furthering our understanding of bilingualism. This biennial international conference has promoted Hispanic and Lusophone linguistics in the Netherlands, Florida, Mexico, and now in Reading.  It serves a broad community of international scholars researching and teaching Hispanic and Portuguese linguistics. In terms of tangible outputs, the first BHL (2015) resulted in an edited volume (John Benjamins). Subsequent BHL Conferences have resulted in a special issue: edited special issue of the journal Languages (2017); edited special issue of the journal Languages (2019) and ; edited special issue of the journal Isogloss (2025)
