Meeting Description:

Conference on Multilingualism - COM2017

What? The Conference on Multilingualism started in 2005 at the University of
Trento under the name ‘Workshop on Bilingualism’, but has since then grown
into a conference with a somewhat broader scope in order to include different
aspects of cognition, as well as linguistic, social and educational aspects.
This year, COM will be combined with a special session on minority language
loss, as well as a two-day graduate Winter School on methodological issues in
multilingualism research. Graduate students (including PhD candidates) are
especially invited to attend the Winter School with an exciting hands-on
program on offer. 

The special session and the Winter School are sponsored by the Economic and
Social Research Council (ESRC) and the U4 Multilingualism group respectively.

When? COM2017: Monday 6th to Wednesday 8th November 2017 - Subsequent Winter
School: November 9th and 10th 2017

Where? In the centre of Groningen, the Netherlands (Remonstrantste Kerk -
Coehoornsingel 14, Groningen)

Keynotes? Invited speakers for COM2017 include Prof. Robert Hartsuiker, Prof.
Monika Schmid, and Prof. Guillaume Thierry, but more names will be added to
this list.

This year, a group of multilingualism researchers at the Groningen Center for
Language and Cognition (CLCG) at the Faculty of Arts of the University is
organising the conference. All members of both the organising and scientific
committee are listed below.

Organising committee: Nanna Hilton, Merel Keijzer, Hanneke Loerts, Simone
Sprenger

Scientific committee: Marc Brysbaert (UGent), Nanna Hilton, Merel Keijzer,
Hanneke Loerts, Simone Sprenger, Esli Struys (VUB), Evy Woumans (UGent)


Call for Papers: 

>From 6 to 8 November 2017, the University of Groningen will be host to the
Conference on Multilingualism (COM2017) in the old city centre of Groningen.
The call is now open for oral and poster presentations.

Participants wishing to present should submit a title and an abstract for
their presentation before June 23rd 2017 by means of our online submission
form: https://goo.gl/forms/truy8Dw6K4QLeRPv1. Abstracts should be no longer
than 400 words, including references. Notifications of acceptance will be sent
mid July 2017. Suitable topics for presentation are all linguistic, cognitive,
social and educational aspects related to bilingualism and multilingualism,
including (but not limited to) language processing, language acquisition,
language loss, neurolinguistics, bi-/multilingualism and cognitive control,
education in a foreign language, and bi-/multilingualism and (working) memory.

Researchers working on heritage language maintenance, language attrition or
communal language loss in multilingual situations are especially invited to
contribute this year as COM2017 will host a special session on these topics. 

Please indicate in your submission form whether you prefer a poster or oral
presentation.
