Meeting Description: 

Within the framework of usage-based cognitive approaches, representations of
language are seen as the result of internal and external speaker variables
like age, educational background and, in particular, language input. The
interdependencies between factors like these determine how lan-guage in
general, and syntactic constructions in particular, emerge and are stored in
the multilin-gual  mind.

Methodologically, there are different ways to reconstruct the development and
interaction of syn-tactic constructions in multilingual speakers. While
psycholinguistic methods attempt to assess the representation of syntax based
on processing principles (e.g., Ellis et al. 2016), corpus-driven anal-yses
often focus on the corpus-to-cognition-principle (cf. Schmid 2010). A
combination of both methodologies is less common. Despite this variety of
methodological approaches, little is known about 1) how specific methods shape
our understanding of syntactic representations within the multilingual mind,
and 2) how this understanding can contribute to validating theoretical
usage-based assumptions. The latter question is particularly challenging since
the methodologies men-tioned are also employed to support opposing theories.

The aim of the workshop is to disclose the possibilities and limitations of
different methodological approaches, thus contributing to the further
development of key theoretical assumptions within the framework of usage-based
models. We invite contributions approaching the question of syn-tactic
representation within multilingual speakers from an experimental perspective
as well as corpus-based work and studies linking the two methodologies. Our
aim is to improve the under-standing of how theoretical assumptions about
multilingualism and different methodologies are mutually dependent.
