Meeting Description:

This short workshop (AG-11) is jointly organized by Angela Grimm
(University of Frankfurt) and Barış Kabak (University of Würzburg) as
part of the 47th Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society
(DGfS 2025) to be held at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz,
Germany. DGfS 2025 will take place March 5-7, 2025 and contain several
other workshops, plenary talks, and satellite events. More information
about DGfS 2025 can be found here: http://dgfs.uni-mainz.de

Call for Papers:

Background:
Research on child and adult sound systems conventionally focuses on
learning mechanisms and developmental stages to investigate how these
manifest and modulate based on articulatory, perceptual and
distributional evidence learners face, and in the case of L2/L3
acquisition, typically examines crosslinguistic influence effects that
may explain emerging patterns in multilingual data. This practice
often results in designating multiple co-occurring variables as
epiphenomena, often shunting such corollaries to post-hoc testing and
theorizing. However, phonological phenomena are known to interact with
a host of factors both within and beyond language that call for
systematic empirical studies (e.g., Darcy et al. 2016, Kehoe & Havy
2019).

Focus:
We aim to explore the multifaceted nature of emerging / multilingual
phonological grammars that are congruous with variation in the
learner’s / multilingual user’s knowledge and behavior. Specifically,
the workshop will address pertinent phenomena in developing native and
non-native phonological systems (and corresponding interfaces) from
the angle of cognitive and environmental factors that may modulate the
extent of learnability as well as the degree and directionality of
crosslinguistic influence. We invite empirical papers that investigate
the multifactorial nature of developing phonological systems and of
multilingual phonological behavior. Factors might include:

•       linguistic (e.g., complexity or frequency)
•       psycho- and social (e.g., affective or attitudinal)
•       experiential (e.g., input-related and interactional)
•       cognitive (e.g., working memory, aptitude) variables

Papers should focus on one or more of the following learner / user
groups:

•       early and late child language learners
•       second or third language learners and users
•       early bilinguals or multilinguals
•       heritage speakers
•       attriters

We also invite contributions that inform phonological change from the
perspective of language development / attrition within an individual
life span or in broader language contact situations. Studies that
investigate target languages/ language constellations that are
understudied in the phonological acquisition literature are
particularly welcome.
