Meeting Description:

Abstracts are being invited for presentations at a conference on Acquisition
of Chinese: Bilingualism and Multilingualism, which will take place on 1-3
July 2019 at Churchill College, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, The United
Kingdom.

With the development of globalization, there are fewer and fewer monolingual
speakers and the number of bilingual speakers and multilingual speakers is
increasing rapidly. Among these bilingual and multilingual speakers, the
number of speakers who can speak Chinese is also increasing rapidly. In what
way do two or more than two languages co-exist in a person’s mind? In what way
do these languages interact with and influence each other in the human mind?
What roles do language typology, the distance between languages, and the
quality and quantity of the language input play in the person’s use of the
languages. At this conference, we will take Chinese as a target language, and
the aim is to bring together researchers in the fields of bilingual and
multilingual research to discuss issues in L2, L3 or Ln acquisition of Chinese
by adults, children and heritage speakers. We particularly welcome papers
focusing on theoretical (linguistic, psycholinguistic, cognitive, etc.) and
empirical approaches to these themes.
