The International Workshop on Empirical and Psycholinguistic Studies
on Balkan Languages aims to bring together researchers working on
psycholinguistic and other empirical, experimental, and data-driven
approaches to Balkan languages. The workshop will focus on research
addressing Balkan languages, their contact within the Balkan language
area or their contact with other languages, their acquisition and
processing. We particularly welcome submissions that involve empirical
data-driven research, which particularly involves experiments to
investigate psycho- or neurolinguistic aspects of Balkan languages,
corpus or historical investigations, and studies on multilingualism
and language contact, linguistic minorities in the Balkans, language
endangerment and revitalisation. Empirical studies on acquisition and
processing of Balkan languages spoken as heritage or minority
languages outside the Balkan area are also welcome.
Invited Speakers:
Mila Vulchanova (Norwegian University of Science and Technology)
Christina Manouilidou (University of Ljubljana)
