Subject: International Workshop on Language Acquisition in Copenhagen

 
International Workshop on Language Acquisition in Copenhagen 

Date: 24-Jun-2020 - 25-Jun-2020 
Location: Copenhagen, Denmark 
Contact: Alice Ping Ping Tse 
Contact Email: alice at hum.ku.dk 

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Computational Linguistics; Language Acquisition; Psycholinguistics; Text/Corpus Linguistics 

Meeting Description: 

This workshop aims to provide a venue for researchers to discuss current and
future research directions for language acquisition. We especially encourage
contributions on the special theme “multimodality and child language
acquisition”, but other topics related to language acquisition are welcome
too. Studies on multimodal language processing are new in the field of
language acquisition, and even rarer for bilingual language acquisition. The
workshop will include an open discussion session on the importance of gestures
in (early) bilingual language acquisition. 

Previous studies have shown that lexical, syntactic and gesture development
are closely linked, and development of gestures is a prerequisite for language
development. Incorporating multimodality in the study of bilingual language
acquisition can provide new insights that can, in the long-term, result in new
methodologies and strategies for teaching a second language and language
acquisition in general. The workshop is organized under the Network
“Multimodal Child Language Acquisition” supported by the Independent Research
Fund Denmark.
 

Call for Papers: 

We welcome contributions addressing any of the following topics in
bilingualism and multimodal communication:
 - Bilingual acquisition of languages in children
 - Second language acquisition
 - Transfer/interference in second language learning
 - Code-mixing and code-switching phenomena, and their effect on language
acquisition and social impact 
 - Early development of gestures 
 - Gestures and language development 
 - Child language 
 - Gestures and foreign language learning 
 - Data collection, annotation and/or processing of (multimodal) corpora for
language acquisition
 - Crowdsourcing for language acquisition
 - Bi-/trilingual child language corpora
 - NLP for language acquisition
 - Other related topics

Format:
Extended abstracts consisting of 2 pages, excluding references. Author(s) can
choose to have an oral or poster presentation. All submissions must be written
in English and submitted as PDF files to costanza at hum.ku.dk or
