Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition
Call Deadline: 15-Nov-2014
Meeting Description:
UiT The Arctic University of Norway is pleased
to host a workshop entitled Multilingual
Language Acquisition, Processing and Use. This
workshop is the fourth in a series of
successful meetings that took place in
Stockholm (January 2009), Iowa City (June 2010)
and Vitoria-Gasteiz (May 2012). Its main goal
is to bring together researchers who are
interested in multilingual acquisition,
processing and language use of a third (L3)
language and whose work is carried out within a
formalized theory of language and whose
approach is based in some application of
cognitive science. The main motivation behind
research done within cognitive approaches to L3
acquisition so far has been to find
explanations for the complex cognitive nature
of the multilingual mind, that is, how issues
that have been dealt with in bilingualism would
fare when one individual juggles three or more
linguistic systems. We welcome work exploring
acquisition and the role of previous linguistic
experience at the initial stages of third
language acquisition, in impact on development
and ultimate attainment; work on the role of
input (quality and quantity), linguistic and
cognitive internal as well as other external
variables; work on child and adult
multilingualism; work using behavioural on-line
and off-line as well as neurolinguistic
methodologies, and work examining possible
differences in bilingual type (early versus
late) for acquiring, using and processing
successive languages in adulthood.
Invited Speakers:
- Jennifer Cabrelli Amaro (University of
Illinois at Chicago, USA)
- María del Pilar García Mayo (University of
the Basque County, Spain)
- David Green (University College, London,
UK)
- Holger Hopp (Mannheim University,
Germany)
- Roumyana Slabakova (University of
Southampton, UK)
- Stephanie Wulff (University of Florida,

Call for Papers:
Papers and Posters:
We seek high quality paper and poster
presentations that contribute to the larger
issues mentioned above, but also contributions
that examine specific empirical questions
related to the acquisition of L3/Ln
morphosyntax, phonology, the lexicon, semantics
and pragmatics from a cognitive
perspective.
Abstracts & Submission:
Abstracts must be 500 words or less (not
including title, figures and references) and
fit on one page, with a second page for data
and references. Abstracts are due on November
15, 2014 and should be sent through the
following Easychair website:

Following peer review, a number of papers will
be selected for oral or poster
presentation.
