THE advocates for the Pangasinan language will likely find a forum for their passion when the College of Arts and Communication of the University of the Philippines Baguio (UPB) holds Pambansang Summit sa Wika 2011, a national summit on languages on April 29-30, 2011.

The summit, with the theme “Pagkilala sa mga wika ng Pilipinas: Tungo sa pagsulong ng ating lahing pamana”, aims to establish a broad collaboration among individuals, groups and institutions for the advancement of languages and dialects in the Philippines, especially those that are under threat of dying and along with them the knowledge, traditions and history that are contained in the languages.

Organizers are now calling for papers to be presented during the event

The abstracts should be written in either Filipino or English, but the presentation during the summit could be undertaken in any language, particularly in the language that is discussed by the paper.

The summit, which is in celebration of UPB’s 50^th anniversary, will be a gathering of language professionals and authorities, including policy-makers, administrators, critics, writers, teachers, and students, among others.
