Meeting Description:

The second international conference on Bilingualism in the Hispanic and
Lusophone world (BHL) will take place at Florida State University in
Tallahassee (Florida, USA) on January 27-29, 2017.

The goal of the BHL conference is to bring together researchers working on
different aspects of bilingualism in the Hispanic and Lusophone world. Hence,
the BHL is dedicated to research in any area related to bilingualism,
including theoretical linguistics, sociolinguistics, language contact, second
language and bilingual acquisition, heritage languages, communication,
education, and psycholinguistics. By bringing together researchers from
different perspectives we hope to be able to share new insights regarding
methodology and get a better understanding of bilingualism.
 
The keynote speakers for BHL 2017 are:
 
1. Teresa Bajo (University of Granada): Language activation and control in
Spanish/English bilinguals and L2 learners
2. Ana Carvalho (University of Arizona): Assessing the permeability of cognate
systems in Portuguese-Spanish bilingual communities: A variationist approach
3. Luis López (University of Illinois at Chicago): Code-switching and
linguistic theory
4. Virginia Mueller Gathercole (Florida International University):
Bilingualism, semantics, words, and assessment
5. Armin Schwegler (University of California Irvine): Population genetics
(DNA) in conversation with historical linguistics: Opportunities and
challenges
6. Gretchen Sunderman (Florida State University): Understanding bilingual
lexical processing

The BHL 2017 organizers are: Anel Brandl, Carolina González, Michael Leeser,
Antje Muntendam, M Carmen Parafita Couto, Lara Reglero, and Gretchen
Sunderman.
