Meeting Description:

The LAVA (Language Acquisition, Variation and Attrition:
http://site.uit.no/lava/) group at UiT the Arctic University of Norway is
pleased to announce the workshop Transdisciplinary Approaches to Language
Variation, to be held in Tromsø, April 19-20, 2018.  The aim of this workshop
is to bring together researchers from around the world who approach the topic
of language variation from different perspectives and disciplines, in
particular linguistics, psychology, speech pathology, and neuroscience. The
focus is on inter- and intra-speaker variability and formal analyses of
linguistic variation, and contributions in all domains of grammar (phonology,
morphology, syntax, and semantics) are welcome. Emphasis will be given to ways
of investigating variation in bilingual or multilingual populations (including
bidialectals, bimodals, heritage language learners, and L1 attriters). We are
especially interested in contributions that address how language is processed
by the monolingual and the bilingual mind as well as in methodological issues
related to testing diverse populations. Contributions that deal with variation
across disorders are also very welcome. Key topics of the workshop are:

- Cross-sectional and/or longitudinal methodology dealing with deve­lop­mental
trajectories over time.
- Behavioral and/or neurolinguistic studies of bilingual and/or multilingual
processing.
- Methodological issues pertaining to attrition and heritage language
learning.
- Variation across developmental or acquired disorders.
- Intraspeaker variation in the input at the syntactic level where multiple
exponents give rise to functionally equivalent variants.
- Theoretical contributions that bridge data showing variation in the input
with our current knowledge of Universal Grammar.

You may submit an abstract for consideration as a paper, poster or both.
Please indicate in your submission if you would like to be considered as a
paper or poster only; all others will be automatically considered for both.
Abstract submissions must fit on one A4 page, written in Times New Roman
script, 12 point font. A second, optional page can be used for references,
charts/tables of data and for examples of experi­mental methodology only. We
endeavour to inform authors of the outcome of peer review by February 20. A
limited number of travel grants will be provided to the highest rated PhD and
Masters student abstracts. Please indicate in your submission if you are
eligible and would like to be considered for a graduate student travel
bursary.
