The Center for Linguistics, Language Education and Acquisition Research
(CLLEAR) is pleased to announce the 14th Generative Approaches to Second
Language Acquisition conference (GASLA 14) to be held at the University of
Southampton, the United Kingdom on 6-9 April 2017. 

The conference provides a forum for discussion of recent, high quality
research on second language acquisition, bilingual and multilingual
acquisition, psycholinguistics and neurocognition. GASLA brings together
researchers working on the nature, use, and development of interlanguage in
all contexts of bilingual and multilingual acquisition.

GASLA 14 will include, in addition to the main session, a special session on
the linguistic input and its interaction with representation and processing. 

Invited Speakers: 

Heather Marsden (University of York)

Invited speaker for the special session on the linguistic input:

Call for Papers: 

For the Main Session, we invite abstract submissions for 30 minute oral
presentations (including 10 minutes for discussion) or posters of original,
unpublished work on all subfields of generative language acquisition: L2
acquisition, bilingualism, multilingualism, heritage language acquisition,
psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, etc. In addition to the Main Session,
there will be a special session on the linguistic input and its interaction
with representation and processing. The submission rules for the special
session are the same as those for the main session.

When you submit your abstract on the EasyChair site, you will be asked to
provide a short summary of the abstract. Upon submission, please indicate
whether your work should be considered for an oral presentation (main session
or special session) or for a poster (or both). Submitting the same abstract to
both the main session and to the special session is not allowed.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the 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 Indiana University 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!
