Linguistic Field(s): Psycholinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

Human cognitive and linguistic development are intrinsically intertwined and
take place within a nested structure of contextual levels: the level of the
individual’s engagement with the social world, the level of social and
institutional environments, the society, and the broader cultural context
which affects the normative belief systems and linguistic conventions of the
social groups at large (comp., e.g., Lerner 2013, Douglas Fir Group 2016,
Truscott & Sharwood Smith 2019). All of these factors are considered crucial
in understanding the processes which shape human development in general. They
have also been described as strong predictors for second language acquisition.
This interdisciplinary symposium focuses on the interplay of these factors
from linguistic, psychological, and sociological perspectives.
