Reminder: Acquisition of Adjectives Across Language

Mon Jul 29 14:26:44 UTC 2013

Second call for papers: international workshop on the Acquisition of Adjectives Across Languages

Location: Utrecht University (The Netherlands)
Dates: November 28-29, 2013

Cross-linguistic studies of adjective acquisition are crucial to our understanding of the relation between language and cognition, since the adjective category is not universal and reveals a lot of cross-linguistic variation. However, relatively little attention has been given to the acquisition of the adjective category in languages beyond English and to cross-linguistic comparisons in this domain. This workshop aims to bring together experts in the field of adjective learning from different countries - who rarely meet due to being geographically scattered - and thereby stimulate collaborative projects in this area.

We invite abstracts for 20-minute talks (plus 10 min. discussion) on all aspects of adjective acquisition (e.g. semantics, morphology, syntax, pragmatics) in typical and atypical, monolingual and bilingual, first and second language acquisition. Papers on cross-linguistic comparisons are particularly welcome. Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (excl. references) and should be submitted as e-mail attachments (MS Word, rtf) to Elena Tribushinina (e.tribushinina at uu.nl<mailto:e.tribushinina at uu.nl>).

Confirmed invited speakers:
Wolfgang Dressler (Austrian Academy of Sciences)
Asifa Majid (MPI Nijmegen and Radboud University Nijmegen)
Lynne Murphy (University of Sussex)
Dorit Ravid (Tel Aviv University)
Maria Voeikova (Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg)
Sandra Waxman (Northwestern University)
Fred Weerman (University of Amsterdam)

Important dates:
Deadline for abstract submission: August 15, 2013
Notification of acceptance: September 1, 2013
Workshop dates: November 28-29, 2013
