Meeting Description:

The AcqVA Aurora center (formerly LAVA) and the PoLaR
lab (Psycholinguistics of Language Representation) at UiT the Arctic
University of Norway are pleased to announce the workshop Bilingualism and the
Brain, to be held in Tromsø May 4th-5th, 2020. The purpose of the workshop is
to bring together researchers from around the world who work on bilingualism
from a brain prospective. More specifically, the focus will be to what extent
the amount of exposure, knowledge and the degree of active engagement with
more than one language in a single mind affects brain structure, brain
functions, and/or how neurophysiological measures tap into the processing of
multiple languages.

Keynote Speakers:
 - Gigi Luk (McGill University, Canada)

Final Call for Papers: 

EXTENDED DEADLINE: Feb. 21, 2020

The deadline for submissions is extended to February 21, 2020. You may submit
an abstract for consideration as a paper, poster or both. Please indicate in
your submission if you would like to be considered as a paper or poster only;
all others will be automatically considered for both. We accept poster
submissions, especially from graduate students and postdocs, that present
ongoing work, even at a well-developed (but not yet implemented) conceptual
level. Prior to the actual poster session, each presenter will give a 5 minute
flash talk on their poster. This will be followed a traditional poster
session, in which presenters and workshop attendees can discuss the work.
Abstract submissions must fit on one A4 page, written in Times New Roman
script, 12 point font. A second, optional page can be used for references,
charts/tables, and examples of experimental methodology only. Your abstract
should include a title, but no identifying information. The link for abstract
submission is available on the conference website. Abstracts will be
peer-reviewed and we endeavor to inform authors of the outcome by March 15,
2020.
Up to five 5000 NOK (roughly 500 euros) in funding is available to PhD
students with highly rated abstracts.  If you wish to be considered for this,
please send an e-mail to: bilingualismandthebrain at gmail.com.
