The conference consisted of three sections. The first section addressed the sociological and social-psychological explanatory context in which language shift processes take place. The second section dealt with language attrition from a psycholinguistic perspective, and the third was fully devoted to the building of an integrated explanatory framework for processes of language shift and loss.
In memory of Willem Fase, one of the initiators of the First and Second Conference on Maintenance and Loss of Minority Languages, who died in 1997, a new forum called the Willem Fase Lecture was set up. This plenary lecture forum was granted to Dr Florey of Deakin University.
