First Communication: Call for Papers

We announce the organization of the First Internacional Conference on
the Acquisition of Spanish as a First and Second Language, to be held in
Rosario, Argentina, on June 1, 2 and 3, 2006.

This Conference is organized by the M.A. Program in Linguistic Theory
and Language Acquisition, the Center for the Study of Language
Acquisition, and the Center of Theoretical Linguistics, of the Facultad
de Humanidades y Artes, Universidad Nacional de Rosario, Argentina.

Language contact and interaction in Latin America generate specific
political, economic, educational and social situations. Transnational
webs as the ones established through MERCOSUR create and make explicit
language situations in which L2 Spanish plays a central role.

The study of languages in contact and of their contexts becomes
increasingly necessary. Teaching Spanish as a Second Language is
proposed through language academies in a more coordinated and explicit
way than it used to be and gradually occupies an increasingly more
prominent role in the field of Language Teaching.

The complexity of the linguistic situation generated demands that its
study be conducted through a number of autonomous and interacting
approaches. At the same time, this perspective has an impact on the
studies of the acquisition and teaching of L1 Spanish in general.

Having this goal in mind, the First International Conference on the
Acquisition of Spanish as a First and Second Language propose the study,
discussion, and evaluation of Spanish as a First and Second Language
from multiple perspectives, mainly but not exclusively, from the
perspective of L1 and L2 Acquisition Linguistics, Linguistic Theory,
Computational Linguistics, Sociolinguistics, Anthropological
Linguistics,L1 Spanish Teaching, Foreign Language Teaching, Language and
Education Policies, Government and NGOs Language Programs, and other
areas linked to the study of language.

This Conference seeks the participation and interaction of specialists,
teachers, and professionals in general in the areas mentioned above in
order to create a specialized and collaborative environment for the
study of Spanish.
