The Adam-Mickiewicz-University in Poznań (Poland) and the University of

The workshop is the final part of a joined international research project on
age effects in bilingual Polish-German language acquisition, funded by the
Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, Germany) and the Narodowe Centrum
Naukowe (NCN, Poland) and conducted at the Adam-Mickiewicz-University Poznan
and the University of Greifswald. Apart from the keynote talks and two
presentations of results from the project there will be four slots for young
scholars working on age effects in bilingual language acquisition. We
therefore invite young scholars (PhD students, PostDoc students) working on a
topic related to age effects in bilingual language acquistion to submit an
abstract (maximum length: one DIN A4 page, including figures and references)
in order to take part in the workshop. Four abstracts will be selected by the
program committee and each winner will be awarded 700 euros funding to cover
at least a considerable part of his/her travel expenses.


Call for Papers:

Topics of the workshop include, but are not restricted to:

- age effects in heritage language acquisition;
- differences and commonalities between simultaneous and early successive
bilingual language acquisition;
- critical periods in language acquisition and first language attrition;
- age effects and crosslinguistic influence in bilingual language acquistion.

There are no restrictions with regard to language pairs covered in the
research. The language for abstract and presentation at the conference will be
English only. Abstracts should be submitted via e-mail to Prof. Dr. Aldona
Sopata (E-Mail: sopata[at]amu.edu.pl) and Prof. Dr. Bernhard Brehmer (E-Mail:
brehmerb[at]uni-greifswald.de) simultaneously until January, 31, 2019.
Notifications of acceptance of the abstract for presentation will be sent out
