Meeting Description: 

The topic of this workshop, organized by the ISLA team (Cucchiarini, Dijkstra,
Van Ginkel, Hubers, Strik, and Ten Bosch) is formulaic language. As much as
half of spoken discourse is made up of formulaic expressions and idiomatic
expressions. These are specific lexical patterns that are generally easily
understood by native speakers, but are often incomprehensible to second
language (L2) learners. Dutch examples of such expressions are: “al sla je me
dood” (=I have no idea)“, de biezen pakken” (=to leave), “de lakens uitdelen”
(= to be bossy), “er een puntje aan zuigen” (= to take as a good example to
follow). Although formulaic language is prevalent in native language
production, it is used much less in L2, and relatively little is known about
how listeners process these kinds of lexical patterns, and how L2 learners
acquire these expressions.

During this multidisciplinary workshop, experts will present their research on
formulaic language (processing) in native and L2 speakers from different
perspectives, such as psycholinguistics, L2 acquisition, and computational
modelling.
