Meeting Description: 

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) 
Mike Sharwood Smith (Heriot Watt University and Edinburgh University)

University of Science and Technology)

Invited speaker for the special session on the linguistic input:
