Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition

Submission Deadline: 15-Sep-2026

The Center for the Study of Language Development and Linguistic
Communication, University of Bucharest, invites submissions for an
online workshop on the acquisition of aspect, organized as part of the
annual International Conference of the Faculty of Foreign Languages,
University of Bucharest.
Keynote Speaker: Petra Schulz, Goethe University Frankfurt
Aspect has generated a wide array of research directions in the
language acquisition literature, shedding light on the development of
the syntax-semantics interface and the influence of pragmatic factors.
Morphological transparency, semantic complexity, degree of
grammaticalization, and discourse constraints all influence
development, with children paying attention to interactions between
viewpoint and situation type aspect.
The workshop welcomes contributions on viewpoint and situation type
aspect in monolingual, and bilingual acquisition (both typical and
atypical development), as well as heritage language acquisition,
language attrition, and L2 and L3 learning. We encourage submissions
from a wide range of theoretical and methodological perspectives,
including experimental, corpus-based, and psycholinguistic approaches.
Contributions from PhD students are most welcome.
Organizing Committee:
Ioana Stoicescu, Veronica Tomescu
