Call Deadline: 10-Jun-2022 

Meeting Description:

Accounting properly for the role of optionality and variation in language
acquisition contexts is one of the long standing puzzles in linguistic
research. It remains largely unclear whether a principled distinction can be
made between optionality and variation. The network on Optionality and
Variation seeks to investigate the role of optionality and variation further
in various acquisition contexts with a special focus on syntactic aspects of
multilingual acquisition. Questions to be addressed are among others: 

1. What is the role of syntactic variation in first and second language
acquisition contexts and in simultaneous bilingualism?
Can it be observed in all three acquisition contexts? Are there any
differences in the effects syntactic variation generates in these three
acquisition contexts? What are these effects, i.e. are they reinforcing,
counterbalancing, leveling...?
2. What is the role of syntactic variation in language contact and heritage
language contexts?
Are they comparable to those effects observed in 1.? What are relevant
differences/similarities? What can be derived from these observations for
language contact and heritage language contexts (e.g. are heritage languages
autonomous language systems and in how far do they diverge from or are similar
to the non-heritage varietie(s))?
