Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition; Neurolinguistics; Psycholinguistics 

Call Deadline: 30-Nov-2016 

Meeting Description:

Among the most controversial issues in research on bilingualism is the
question whether (late) L2 acquisition is qualitatively different from first
language acquisition. In this context, it is important to disentangle age
effects from bilingualism effects (Kupisch 2012, Hopp & Schmid, 2013; Schmid,
forthc.), since studies investigating crosslinguistic influence in bilingual
speakers suggest that bilinguals process their L2s and their L1(s) differently
from monolinguals irrespective of the age of onset of bilingualism. To advance
our understanding of bilingual acquisition and processing, comparisons of
bilingual language acquisition and processing across different groups of
bilingual learners (2L1, early and late L2) as well as L1 attriters are called
for. This workshop aims to bring together new and complementary comparative
perspectives on (2)L1 and L2 acquisition, bilingual language processing and
attrition.   

Confirmed Invited Speakers:

- Professor Arturo E. Hernandez (University of Houston)
- Professor Jürgen Meisel (Universität Hamburg/University of Calgary)

Important Dates:

Abstract submission: until November 30, 2016
Notification of acceptance: January 31, 2017
Early bird registration: January 3 - April 30, 2017
Conference: June 19-20 2017

Organising committee:

Barbara Köpke (Université de Toulouse)
Holger Hopp (Technische Universität Braunschweig)
Tanja Kupisch (Universität Konstanz)

Call for Papers:

A panel of expert reviewers will choose abstracts for talks (30-minute talks,
20 minutes presentation plus 10 minutes discussion) and posters. Abstracts
should be 400 words in Times New Roman (12 point) excluding tables and
references on one A4 page. Figures, tables and references can be on a second
page. Please, include the title, the name(s) of author(s) and their
affiliation(s).

The present workshop is part of an ESRC-funded Seminar Series on Language
Attrition. However, the focus of the workshop is not restricted to language
attrition. Rather, we would like to invite submissions from a large range of
topics related to the issue of differences between monolinguals and bilinguals
and the dynamics of the linguistic competence in bilingual development and
language use. Submissions based on models from a variety of theoretical
backgrounds are explicitly called for. Hence, topics of the conference will
include but not be limited to:

- Comparisons of language processing in the different languages of bi- or
multilingual speakers, attriters and L2 learners
- Comparisons of language processing in monolingual and bi- or multilingual
speakers, attriters and L2 learners
- Studies on crosslinguistic influence between languages in bi- and
multilingual speakers, attriters and L2 learners
- Neuroimaging and neurocognitive studies of language processing in bi- and
multilinguals
- Studies on very advanced stages of L2 acquisition
- Studies on L1 attrition at different stages
- Comparisons of methodology across populations
