Meeting Description:

The Cyprus Acquisition Team (CAT Lab, http://research.biolinguistics.eu/CAT)
is pleased to announce the workshop Transdisciplinary Approaches to Language
Variation (TALV) 2, to be held in Limassol, 15–16 February 2019, in
cooperation with the University of Cyprus and the Cyprus University of
Technology. 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. While the focus is on inter-/intra-speaker
variability and formal analyses of linguistic variation, contributions are
welcome for all domains of grammar: phonology, morphology, syntax, and
semantics. Emphasis will be put on ways of investigating variation in typical
and atypical multilingual populations, including bimodality, bi(dia)lectalism,
heritage languages, and attrition. Beyond purely linguistic treatments of
variation in language and across languages, we are especially interested in
contributions that address how language is processed by the monolingual vs.
the bilingual mind and 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:

(a) new theoretical approaches and/or empirical data on language variation
(b) investigations of developmental trajectories over time
(c) behavioral and/or neurolinguistic studies of multilingual processing
(d) methodological issues pertaining to attrition and heritage language
learning
(e) variation across developmental or acquired disorders
(f) intraspeaker variation in the input at the syntactic level where multiple
exponents give rise to functionally equivalent variants
(g) theoretical contributions that bridge data showing variation in the input
with our current knowledge of Universal Grammar

Financial support for TALV 2 comes from the University of Cyprus (Department
of English Studies) and Cyprus University of Technology (Department of
Rehabilitation Sciences), as well as the research project A Cross-Linguistic
Investigation of Acceptability Judgment Variation (2017–19) awarded to
Kleanthes K. Grohmann, which is funded through the University of Cyprus by the
A.G. Leventis Foundation.

| invited speakers: Alison Henry & Phoevos Panagiotidis), the 2nd Cyprus
Undergraduate Linguistics Conference, at UCY in Nicosia right after TALV 2.


Call for Papers:

The deadline for submissions is 30 November 2018 by email to
kleanthi at ucy.ac.cy

Abstracts may be submitted for consideration as oral or poster presentation
(or both, please state). Abstracts should fit on one A4 page, written in 12
point Times New Roman font (ca. 500 words). A second page may optionally be
used for references, charts, tables, or figures, and for examples of
experimental methodology only. We expect to inform authors of the outcome of
the peer review by 15 December 2018.
