Meeting Description:

The bi-annual conference of the French L2 acquisition network (Réseau
d'Acquisition des langues secondes - RéAL2) was scheduled for 2020, but 
postponed because of Covid-19, and will be held this year.

The term crosslinguistic influence, introduced by Michael Sharwood-Smith
(1983), was suggested as an alternative to transfer, given the behaviorist
connotations of the latter. Subsequently, generativist and cognitivist
approaches rejected contrastive analysis and the idea of the influence of the
L1 on an L2, and research focussed henceforth more on difficulties intrinsic
to the L2, as well as L2 learners’ internal cognitive processes.

The development of usage based theories has since drawn attention to the
influence that a learner’s previous knowledge of several spoken languages,
even if at varying levels of proficiency, could have in language processes. As
a consequence, the idea of L1 influence on an L2 has been rehabilitated.
Furthermore our increasingly multilingual world has inspired researchers to
study multiple crosslinguistic influences (L1, L2, L3, …) (e.g. De Angelis,
Jessner & Kresic, 2015; Westergard et al., 2017; Schmid & Köpke, 2017). These
studies deal with crosslinguistic influence at several levels (linguistic,
conceptual, cognitive, etc), and in multiple directions (L2-L3, L3-L2, L2-L1,
…). They also consider factors that may be responsible for the emergence of
this influence ((psycho)typology, the speaker’s proficiency in the source and
target languages, the status of L2 or the L2 factor, the level of immediacy of
the source language, …) and the interaction among the different factors (see
for example Cook & Bassetti, 2011; Jarvis & Pavlenko, 2010 ; Pavlenko, 2011).
The complexity of these factors continues to inspire SLA researchers.
Therefore we invite interested researchers to come to Toulouse in order to
collectively discuss and take stock of where research on crosslinguisitcs is
today.

PLENARY SPEAKERS: 
Bene Bassetti, University of Birmingham
Scott Jarvis, University of Utah
Marianne Starren, Radboud University

Call for Papers: 

We invite oral and poster presentations addressing all aspects of
crosslinguistic influence in SLA and bilingualism. These include, but are by
no means limited to, linguistic, conceptual, cognitive, emotional, gestural,
etc. aspects in oral and/or written perception, comprehension, and/or
production.

ABSTRACTS: 
Abstracts concerning two types of communication can be submitted: oral
presentations or posters.
Oral presentations: presentations of original unpublished research with one or
several authors. The 20 minutes long presentation will be followed by 10
minutes of questions.
Posters: Several poster sessions are planned in the conference program. The
abstracts address original unpublished research and work in progress, which
will be discussed in an informal way during these sessions.

SUBMISSION:  
The conference languages are French and English. Submissions must be written
in the same language as the planned presentation. Abstracts should not exceed
500 words (references included).

EVALUATION: 
Every submission will be evaluated by the RéAL2 2020 scientific committee. The
criteria for acceptance include, the originality, the quality and the thematic
relevance of the abstract. Authors can submit one abstract as a first author
and other abstracts as a co-author.
