<br>Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition; Psycholinguistics; Sociolinguistics; Syntax <br> <br>Call Deadline: 29-Apr-2013 <br> <br>Meeting Description: <br> <br>For
many years, formal linguistics has focused on the ‘idealized’
monolingual speaker. Other areas of linguistics have been more concerned
with ‘real life’ situations, where speakers often know multiple
languages to a greater or lesser extent. During the past 20 years, work
has started to emerge within the formal literature studying the
representation of grammars in speakers who are multilingual. At the same
time, psycholinguistic studies of bilingualism have contributed
significantly to our understanding of bi- and multilingualism. This
conference aims to discuss work on both the formal and experimental
side, focusing on how to best approach the study of multilingualism. <br> <br>Call for Papers: <br> <br>Papers are invited on any topic related to the theme ‘Parallel Grammars and Multilingualism’, including: <br> <br>- The formal grammar in an individual who masters multiple/parallel grammars <br>
- Acquisition and processing in multilingualism (including second language acquisition) <br>- Language contact and multilingualism <br> <br>Each talk will be 20 minutes followed by a 10 minutes question and answer session. About 20 talks will be accepted. <br>
<br>Submissions should be at most 2 A4 pages including references. Please submit in pdf format. <br> <br>The
conference will also feature a poster presentation by young scholars.
When submitting, please indicate if you are submitting for a talk, a
poster, or both. <br> <br>Abstracts should be submitted using the following website: <a href="http://www.ntnu.edu/multilingualism/call-for-papers">http://www.ntnu.edu/multilingualism/call-for-papers</a> <br><br><a href="http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-1284.html">http://linguistlist.org/issues/24/24-1284.html</a><br>
