Call Deadline: 30-Oct-2018 

Meeting Description:

The LiDi conference series aims at discussing the scope of recent findings in
the field of linguistics as they potentially connect to the development of new
instructional methods in language teaching.
The 2nd LiDi conference focuses on Grammaticality Judgments & Language
Awareness. So far, grammaticality judgments are mostly ignored in language
teaching and only indirectly considered in the context of addressing
grammatical errors. As phrases or sentences in most textbooks are labeled as
either grammatically correct or incorrect, it is not surprising that many
students feel that the concept of grammaticality is a binary one. In modern
linguistics, however, it is well known that the notion of grammaticality does
not correspond to what we can observe in (psycho)linguistic studies on
grammaticality (e.g. Bard et al. 1996). The 2nd LiDi meeting starts out from
the hypothesis that it can be extremely helpful for students’ language
awareness to address linguistic phenomena at the borderline of grammaticality,
in order to (i) illuminate this conceptual notion from a current scientific
perspective and (ii) to also impart different empirical methods to measure
grammaticality. Taking these points into consideration, students’ perception
of language as a whole can be considerably improved and sharpened.

We invite all researchers interested in the topic and who are willing to
discuss the question of how to incorporate the topic of grammaticality
judgments into language teaching to attend the conference.

Location:

Ruhr-University Bochum (Bochum/ NRW)

Invited speakers:

- Sam Featherston (Tübingen)
- Renata Szczepaniak (Bamberg)
- Thomas Weskott (Göttingen)
- Marcus Bader (Frankfurt) 
- Tatjana Zybatow (Flensburg)  
- Anja Binanzer (Münster)


Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts for either oral presentations (30 minutes, followed by 10
minutes of discussion) or poster presentations. Posters can, for instance,
focus on a recent research project addressing the topics mentioned above or on
experiences in teaching the subject of grammaticality. Abstracts for oral
presentations and posters should be no more than 300 words (excluding
references) and should be sent by e-mail as a PDF file to
angelina.keuschnig at rub.de and bjoern.rothstein at rub.de. Please include your
name, the title of your presentation, and information about your affiliation.
Presentations and posters should be in English.

Extended submission deadline: October 30, 2018 
Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2018

Organizers: Angelina Keuschnig and Björn Rothstein (Ruhr-University Bochum)
