> We are now inviting abstracts for the annual thematic issue of the
> International Journal of Bilingualism (IJB) to be published in March 2015.
> The topic of the proposed thematic issue is *“Cross-linguistic aspects in
> child L2 acquisition” *and intends to bring together contributions from
> researchers examining the acquisition of interface and syntax-only
> phenomena in child L2 learners from a cross-linguistic perspective and/or
> by using different methodologies (production, off-line/on-line
> comprehension).
>
>
>
> Our thematic issue will seek to comprise articles investigating how target
> language (TL) properties influence child L2 acquisition, whether
> acquisition of different kinds of interface conditions influences transfer
> differently, how the acquisition pattern can be mediated by external
> factors such as age of onset (AoO), length of exposure (LoE) to the L2 and
> quality of input, and how transfer can interact with TL properties to give
> rise to different acquisition patterns cross-linguistically. Finally, by
> comparing different modalities such as production, off-line and on-line
> comprehension, we will address possible (a)symmetries between production
> and comprehension, and we will investigate the nature of the potential
> production problems in L2 children with different AoO and LoE.
>
>
>
> Potential contributions could aim to address the following research
> questions:
>
> * *
>
> 1)      How do TL properties influence the acquisition of morpho-syntactic
> and semantic phenomena in L2 children cross-linguistically?
>
> 2)      Do internal (e.g. syntax-semantics) and external (e.g.
> syntax-discourse) interface conditions have different effects on language
> development?
>
> 3)      How does L1 transfer interact with TL properties in child L2
> acquisition and with external factors such as LoE, AoO and quality of input?
>
> 4)      Do cross-linguistic differences in TL properties influence
> production, on-line and/or off-line comprehension of morpho-syntax and
> semantics in L2 children differentially?

> If you are interested in contributing to this special issue, please send
> us (Vicky Chondrogianni: v.chondrogianni at bangor.ac.uk, Leonie Cornips:
> leonie.cornips at meertens.knaw.nl, Nada Vasić: nadavasic at gmail.com) a
> 500-word abstract stating the research questions, methodology, results,
> implications for the field of L2 acquisition. Abstracts should include the
> title of the submission as well as the authors’ names and affiliations.
>
>
>
> Please note that this is a competitive call and that the thematic issue
> cannot comprise more than six papers. Paper selection will follow a
> peer-review process, and therefore, eventual publication is not guaranteed
> for all manuscript submissions.
