Call Deadline: 01-Oct-2016 

Meeting Description:

The conference is dedicated to discussing major issues in language and aging
research. The focus is on projects and research questions taking their point
of departure in empirical approaches and the use of innovative methods to
gather and analyze authentic material and samples of language data from older
adults. Also, the subject of language in later life is deeply embedded in
interdisciplinary contexts. It is thus mandatory that linguists with various
specializations in pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and corpus linguistics, as
well as psycholinguists, psychologists, and experts in the field of nursery
and healthcare, work together.

After two previous events at the University of Louvain, this is the first
academic event of the CLARe network in Berlin, which aims to promote the
institutionalization of exchange between the participating disciplines and
countries.

Topics:

1. Pragmatic spaces: Verbal and nonverbal communication in later life can be
accompanied by adaptive strategies and language changes in the use of
pragmatically relevant linguistic signs (Davis 2014). Older people can also
use the interactional space differently, depending on the context and their
interlocutors. 

2. Longitudinal studies: This thematic session aims to establish a
sociolinguistic view on language use in later life with regard to variables
that may indicate real-time language change or a change in the linguistic
behavior of aging people in terms of age-grading (Labov 1994). The exploration
of corpus data can give insight into the process of lifelong learning
(Ramscar, Hendrix, and Baayen 2013).

3. Multiple identities and multilingualism in later life: Along with research
on language acquisition, multilingualism is an innovative topic in the field
of aging (Seebus 2008). Furthermore, the role of multiple identities and their
construction across the lifespan has been a core of interest in the field of
dementia in aging.
