Meeting Description:

Prosody plays a fundamental role in L2 interactions, because it conveys linguistic, paralinguistic and sociocultural meanings that may be different from L2 speakers' native languages, and that L2 speakers may be unaware of. L2 prosody has been the object of growing interest in the recent years. However, the number of studies on L2 prosody is rather limited when compared to the amount of work that has been carried out on L2 segmentals. In addition, the study of L2 prosody is made rather fragmentary by the number of different theoretical perspectives, as well as the variety of objectives and research methods used to approach it.
 
The aim of the Methods in L2 Prosody (ML2P) workshop is to bring together researchers working on L2 prosody to discuss topics related to the following areas:

Experimental methods
Insights offered by different types of data (acoustic, articulatory, perceptual)
Learning processes and theoretical frameworks 

2nd Call for Papers:

News: Abstract submission deadline has been extended to 6 April 2012.

Submission of abstracts is invited on any topic related to methods or analysis of L2 prosody in any language. 

Abstracts should not exceed 1000 words and should be sent electronically as an anonymous document by 6 April 2012 following this link:

http://www.maldura.unipd.it/LCL/ML2P 

All abstracts will be blind-reviewed by the Scientific Committee. 

The official languages of the workshop will be English and Italian. 

Papers, to be submitted in English, will be published in the online conference proceedings.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as 
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
