Meeting Description:

Portuguese is acquired across Africa, Europe and South America both as
L1 (Pires & Rothman 2009; Pires, Rothman and Santos 2011; Gonçalves et
al. 2018; Teixeira & Alves 2022) and as an L2 (Madeira 2016; Flores,
Rinke & Rato 2017; Flores et al. 2019). While Portuguese has a rather
uniform written standard, ultimately the varieties acquired and the
contexts they are acquired in, are vastly different. This plurality of
varieties brings its challenges, particularly for controlled settings
of L2 acquisition (Formato 2018). At the same time, this situation
invites an in-depth comparison and promises interesting findings on
the nature of language acquisition in general.

This workshop aims at bringing together researchers working on L1 and
L2 acquisition of Portuguese in uncontrolled and controlled settings.
The goal is to discuss current developments in the field and to
uncover possible cross-varietal implications from different
acquisition scenarios. Contributions may address L1 and L2 acquisition
of any domain of grammar in controlled and uncontrolled settings.
Comparative work across varieties, but also with other languages, is
especially welcome, as is work on the acquisition of Portuguese in
African countries.

Keynote speakers:

Elaine Grolla (USP)
