Meeting Description:
Language Acquisition : Comparative Perspectives. Homage to Clive Perdue
Laboratoire Structures Formelles du Langage (UMR 7023 CNRS) & Université de
Paris 8 Vincennes à Saint-Denis
This conference is a tribute to our friend and colleague Clive Perdue, who
passed away in March. It aims at gathering the contributions of researchers
working in the field of language acquisition around themes that were central to
Clive's research.
This two day conference will focus on SLA (day 1) and the comparison between
child L1 acquisition and adult L2 acquisition (day 2).
1. SLA : Adult Second Language Acquisition : Crosslinguistic Perspectives (2
half-days)
The implications of various studies on the different steps of L2 acquisition
will be considered in a crosslinguistic perspective:
What does the study of the « basic variety » and of later acquisitional
sequences tell us about the process of language acquisition by adult L2 learners?
What does the study of the adult L2 learner's language teach us about language
processing in general (production, comprehension, interaction)?
How can the study of a L2 learner's language contribute an explanation of the
nature of language (formal and functional properties)?
What do comparisons between languages or language families bring to these
questions (constraints of source and target languages)?
2. Adult L2 Acquisition / Child L1 Acquisition - Comparisons Between Different
Types of Acquisition : Crosslinguistic Perspectives (2 half-days)
The implications of the comparisons between types of learners (success vs
non-success of acquisition, acquisitional sequences?) will be considered from a
crosslinguistic perspective in order to:
Study acquisition processes (fossilization in L2, role of cognitive maturity in L1?)
Study language in general and the relation between language and cognition
(inneist, cognitivist, typological approaches?)
