Meeting Description: 

Language processing, the on-line study of the mental operations that occur
while we comprehend or produce words and sentences, has gained considerable
attention in recent years. Whereas substantial knowledge has been gathered on
the mental processes involved in L1 processing, much less research has been
conducted on bilingual and L2 processing in adults and children. The goal of
this symposium is to bring together researchers who focus on bilingual and L2
adult and child processing. We aim to invoke discussions on key questions
related to bilingual and L2 processing such as the existence of a default
processing strategy, crosslinguistic influence in L1 and L2 processing, the
role of linguistic distance between L1 and L2, the extent to which the
mechanisms used in L1 processing are the same in L2 processing, and how
processing can provide insights into the architecture and mechanisms of
linguistic representation.

Invited Speakers:

- Paola Giuli Dussias (The Pennsylvania State University)
- Theodoros Marinis (University of Reading)
- Guillaume Thierry (Bangor University)
