Meeting Description:

During the past few decades, research in the area of bilingual cognitive and
linguistic development has made tremendous progress and provided evidence
supporting the notion that speaking more than one language extends, rather
than diminishes, an individual’s cognitive capacities (see Bialystok, 2005,
for an overview). There is a strong argument in the literature that bilingual
development may result in establishing specific architectures of the mind that
are likely to promote later cognitive advantages. On the other side, according
to the creative cognition approach (Ward, Smith, & Finke, 1999), creativity is
considered a product of normative cognitive functioning. Therefore, increase
in general cognitive functioning may facilitate an individual’s creative
abilities. If bilingualism results in more elaborate cognitive structures
and/or functioning, it may also facilitate creative functioning (Kharkhurin,
2012). Unfortunately, the relationship between bilingualism and creativity
received little attention in the scientific community. In about 40 years, this
theme had been explored in only 40 studies. Only recently, this theme was
resuscitated and received systematic empirical investigation. The aim of this
session is to present the state of the art research in bilingual creativity,
which perceives the relationship between these human endeavors from the
cognitive, sociocultural, and educational perspectives.


Call for Papers:

I'd like to organize a thematic session ''Bilingualism & Creativity'' to be submitted to the 10th International Symposium on Bilingualism.

If you're interested in participating in this thematic session, please email your abstract (500 words max. plus 1 page max. for examples and references) to akharkhurin at aus.edu before August 15, 2014.

The papers submitted for this thematic session will be considered for a special issue in a SSCI journal. Please read a general abstract describing the session above.

Best regards,

Anatoliy Kharkhurin
