The University of Pavia (Italy) together with the national research project PRIN 2009 (‘Second Languages/Foreign Languages in Multilingual Europe: Acquisition, Interaction, Teaching’) and the Research Group on Spoken Communication within the Italian Association of Linguistics (GSCP: http://www.gscp.it) is pleased to announce the conference on ‘[Italian] L2 Spoken Discourse: Pragmatic and Prosodic Aspects’ to be held on September 5-7, 2013, in Pavia (Italy).

The goal of the conference is to bring together researchers working on the complex interplay among the different levels of second language competence and use (including information structure, morphosyntax, prodosy and lexis) and on the role of L1 in communicative practices and in thinking for speaking, with reference to Italian and other L2. The conference will feature contributions from Italian and international invited speakers.

- The development of interactional competence in L2: research methodology and tools, empirical studies 
- The acquisition of prosody in (Italian) L2: research methodology and tools, empirical studies 
- Methodological issues in the investigation of L2 spoken discourse, with reference to its transcription and annotation
