Meeting Description:

Multilingualism and Pathology: Assessment – Therapy – Theory 

This workshop is part of the 20th International Congress of Linguists (ICL 20)

In a growing multilingual/multicultural world, it becomes increasingly
important to accurately and positively identify different types of
language-related pathologies (assessment) as well as to treat them
successfully (therapy). At the same time, research knowledge of the underlying
systems of language and cognition feeds into and is fed by such clinical
practices (theory). 

This workshop calls on linguists, speech–language pathologists, psychologists,
and other researchers or clinicians to contribute to the rising challenge of
providing for multilingual individuals and populations with the linguistic
and/or cognitive effects of a speech–language–communication disorder, whether
genetic (such as syndromes), developmental (such as specific language
impairment), or acquired (such as aphasia). As such, the workshop addresses
the study of pathologies in multilingualism through the lifetime: from infants
and children to adolescents and adults, including ageing populations.

The workshop will focus on any of the three headings: assessment
(identification, background, practices), therapy (strategies, treatment plans,
recovery), theory (for any or all of the core language areas regardless of a
particular framework) — and how they may contribute to one another. There will
thus be room for lexicon, syntax, semantics, and phonology as well as its
various interfaces and interactions (morphosyntax, syntax–semantics,
semantics–pragmatics, syntax–phonology, phonetics–phonology, etc.). Research
methodologies vary widely, from theoretical approaches to online or offline
measures, from questionnaires to machines. Hence, the workshop will be of
interest to theoretical linguists, psycholinguists, neurolinguists, among
others, including their respective collaborations.

We are interested in novel strategies for multilingual populations in any of
these areas, new datasets, and more. Research can stem from the perspective of
a single language or from bi-/multilingual patients; we are particularly
interested in minority/migrant languages, dialects/vernacular varieties, and
other, typically understudied aspects of language. Likewise, the research to
be reported can be drawn from small/large population-based or single case
studies. There is also a broad spectrum for take-home messages, ranging from
new theoretical analyses or approaches to assess multilingual speakers all the
way to recommendations for policy-makers, to mention just a few.
