Meeting Description:

The Romance Turn conferences bring together researchers from across Europe and overseas with the aim of communicating results and developing further research in the acquisition of Romance languages, compared to the acquisition of other languages. Language acquisition studies both in children and adult learners are central to building our understanding of human language and how it develops in the brain. The field has witnessed a continuous growth during the past three decades. Over this period, empirical evidence provided by research conducted on the acquisition of Romance languages such as French, Italian, Catalan, Spanish, Romanian and Portuguese has become increasingly productive. The linguistic properties of Romance languages (i.e., syntactic, semantic, morphological and phonological features) make these languages excellent testing-grounds for both well-known and alternative theories of language acquisition.

Keynote Speakers:

The conference will present three high-profile keynote speakers:

Giulia Bencini (Hunter College, New York)
Marina Nespor (Sissa, Trieste)
Ianthi Tsimpli (University of Thessaloniki and University of Reading)

2nd Call for Papers:

Papers are invited for oral and poster presentations in the area of the acquisition of Romance languages. All topics in the fields of (typical and impaired) first, second, and bilingual language acquisition from a generative perspective will be considered, with a special focus on syntax and phonology. Presentations will be 30 minutes long, followed by 15 minutes for discussion, and will be in English.

Authors are invited to send one copy of an abstract in English for review. Abstracts must be at most one page long on an A4 or letter-size sheet (8'''1/2 by 11''') with one-inch margins and typed in at least 12-point font. An optional second page is permitted for data and references. Abstracts must be anonymous.
