Call for Papers:
Main conference & Workshop
For the general conference, we invite abstracts for 30-minutes talks and for
posters on any topic related to generative grammar, from a theoretical and/or
experimental perspective. The official languages are English and Italian.
Workshop: Multilingualism - Social and Cognitive Dimensions
Multilingualism is a pervasive phenomenon in contemporary societies. The
capacity to naturally acquire any language by any child has become the central
empirical observation since the beginning of generative grammar, as it shows
that, as humans, we are all biologically endowed with a language acquisition
device which is naturally put into work through social interaction of the
typically developing child with the external world. So, conditions internal to
the cognitive system, i.e. the internal grammar with its formal properties,
and external conditions, i.e. exposure to a rich enough input, are both
crucial dimensions in any form of language acquisition. The dialog between the
social and the cognitive dimensions is especially crucial in situations of
multilingualism, raising specific issues, such as: richness of the quality and
quantity of the input, age of onset, possible delays in child acquisition,
necessity to distinguish between pathological delay vs unavoidable time needed
in second language acquisition, the distinction among types of
multilingualism/ early vs late, child vs adult ..., the possible protective
role of multilingualism in aging, the role of questionnaires to determine
external factors, types of adapted testing etc.
These issues are especially congenial with one of the research themes
developed at the hosting department DISPOC within the frame of the
interdisciplinary project for which it has been selected as one of the
Excellence Departments of the Italian University system.
Submissions are invited for posters on issues related to multilingualism along
the lines indicated above, with a special focus on the dialog between the role
of grammatical constraints and the role of external conditions. Empirical
domains investigated may also concern discourse situations (such as e.g.
question-answers exchanges and their formal characterization, appropriate use
of subject pronouns, proper mastering of clitic pronouns and topicalization
structures etc...), always crucial in social interactions.
The workshop will take place in the morning of February 27th. The official
language of the workshop is English.
Instructions for Submission:
Authors may be involved in at most two abstracts and may be the sole author of
at most one abstract.
Please select in the submission form whether you are submitting an abstract
for the general conference, for the workshop, or for both. If you have a
preference for either oral or poster presentation, please indicate this in the
''abstract'' field of the submission form. Note that the workshop only
includes posters; a full talk can be submitted for the general conference.
Abstracts should be anonymous and no longer than two pages (12-point type,
single line spacing, 2.5cm margins) including examples, tables, references.
The abstracts, in PDF format, must be submitted via Easychair:
