Meeting Description: 

Centre for Research in Language Development throughout the Lifespan (LaDeLi)

Social interaction is an intrinsic aspect of what makes us human, and
language, both first (L1) and additional (L2) languages, is learned amidst
communication exchanges where linguistic evidence is made available. The study
and examination of the linguistic environment in general and the role of
interaction as a component of that environment, in particular, have been a
matter of great interest, controversy and debate for decades. However, the
precise role, nature, contribution and relationship between interaction and
language learning, development and loss remain elusive.

This innovative workshop aims to provide a unique opportunity for participants
and leading experts from diverse theoretical perspectives to discuss a range
of key issues relating to the role of interaction in language development and
loss throughout the lifespan.Applied Linguistics, Language Acquisition
