Aims The seminar aims at bringing together researchers from different

acquisition, bilingualism, stylistics, literary studies, early
language impairment, aphasia, Alzheimer's disease, etc. The seminar
will be a two-day event, with two parallel sessions, grouped according
to themes. We invite abstracts on vocabulary knowledge and use for
