Meeting Description:

The Romance Turn brings together researchers from across Europe and overseas
with the aim of sharing results and developing further research on the
acquisition of Romance languages. Language acquisition studies both in
children and adult learners are central to building our understanding of human
language and how it develops in the brain. The field has witnessed a
continuous growth during the past three decades. Over this period empirical
evidence provided by research conducted on the acquisition of Romance
languages such as Catalan, French, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian, and Spanish
has become increasingly productive. 

Following the success of previous Romance Turn conferences (Madrid (2004),
Utrecht (2006), Southampton (2008), Tours (2010), Lisbon (2012), Palma de
Mallorca (2014), Venice (2015), Bellaterra (2016)) this year the Romance Turn
IX will be held in Bucharest, Romania, hosted by the Centre for the Study of
Language Development and Linguistic Communication of the University of
Bucharest. 

Invited speakers: 

Maria Teresa Guasti (University of Milan-Bicocca)
Ana Lúcia Santos    (University of Lisbon)
Antonella Sorace    (University of Edinburgh)

Local organizers: 
Larisa Avram, Anca Sevcenco, Veronica Tomescu (University of Bucharest)

The conference will host the workshop “Learnability in a parametric world”
organized by Susann Fischer, Mario Navarro and Jorge Vega Vilanova, Hamburg
University. 


Call for Papers:

Papers are invited for oral and poster presentations in the area of the
acquisition of Romance languages. All topics in the fields of (typical and
