Meeting Description:

The BLINK project (Bilingual Literacy and Input Negotiate Knowledge: Tracing
Heritage Language Bilingual Development) and the LAVA research group (Language
Acquisition, Variation and Attrition) at UiT the Arctic University of Norway
are pleased to announce the workshop Capturing and Quantifying Individual
Differences in Bilingualism, to be held in Tromsø September 2-3, 2019. The
purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers from around the world
who work on tracing and quantifying the underlying factors that contribute to
the observed individual variation in bilingualism, with a specific focus on
background questionnaires. All work pertaining to the explanation of the
relationship between input, extra-linguistic factors and language development
and ultimate attainment in bi/multilingualism at any age is welcome. Given
that the workshop will cover both empirical and methodological issues, we are
especially interested in submissions that employ or discuss:

- The development and use of background questionnaires in bilingualism
research.
- Cross-sectional and/or longitudinal methodology seeking to chart bilingual
developmental trajectories over time.
- The role of input in bilingual language development and ultimate attainment.
- Methodological issues in heritage language research; e.g., what is and is
not appropriate for empirical methodologies with (subgroups of) heritage
speakers and why.
- Statistical modeling in the psycholinguistics of bilingualism.

Keynote Speakers:

John Anderson (York University, Canada)
Cécile de Cat (University of Leeds, UK)
Ian Cunnings (University of Reading, UK)
Viorica Marian (Northwestern University, USA)
Sharon Unsworth (Radboud University, The Netherlands)
