Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition

Call Deadline: 31-Jul-2023

Meeting Description:

The colloquium provides a forum for recent research on language
acquisition and language learning. It is primarily intended as a venue
for researchers and doctoral students to present ongoing work on any
topic relevant to L1 and 2L1 acquisition, L2 and L3 learning, as well
to child heritage languages.  The main goal is to bring forward recent
theoretical and experimental work on the acquisition of Romanian. Work
on the acquisition of other languages is also welcome.

Call for Papers:

The Center for the Study of Language Development and Linguistic
Communication, University of Bucharest is pleased to announce its 8th
Bucharest Colloquium of Language Acquisition, which will be held on
November 17 - 18, 2023, in hybrid format (face-to-face and online).

Keynote speaker
Petra Schultz – Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main

This year the colloquium will host the workshop “Logical Operators:
Theory and Acquisition” organised by Adina Camelia Bleotu, University
of Bucharest.

Keynote speakers
Anton Benz – ZAS, Berlin
Lyn Tieu – University of Toronto

The workshop is dedicated to logical operators in natural language,
both from a theoretical perspective, as well as with respect to
language acquisition. Typical examples of operators involve negation,
conjunction, disjunction, implication, quantification, modality. A
main interest of the workshop concerns theoretical accounts of
operators and scales such as (and, or), (all, some), (must, might).
Another main interest is how these logical operators are acquired by
children. We welcome experimental papers employing various
methodologies (act-out tasks, truth value judgment tasks,
eye-tracking, story-telling, a.o.) to investigate logical operators in
natural language (first and second language acquisition, language
processing, online and offline methodological issues, a.o.). We also
welcome corpus and theoretical work which provides new insights into
the interpretation of logical operators. A main interest of the
