Meeting Description:
Language processing, the on-line study of the mental operations that occur while we comprehend or produce words and sentences, has gained considerable attention in recent years. Whereas substantial knowledge has been gathered on the mental processes involved in L1 processing, much less research has been conducted on bilingual and L2 processing in adults and children. The goal of this symposium is to bring together researchers who focus on bilingual and L2 adult and child processing. We aim to invoke discussions on key questions related to bilingual and L2 processing such as the existence of a default processing strategy, crosslinguistic influence in L1 and L2 processing, the role of linguistic distance between L1 and L2, the extent to which the mechanisms used in L1 processing are the same in L2 processing, and how processing can provide insights into the architecture and mechanisms of linguistic representation.
Invited Speakers:
Paola Giuli Dussias (The Pennsylvania State University)
Theodoros Marinis (University of Reading)
Guillaume Thierry (Bangor University)
Call for Papers:
The symposium welcomes submissions in all areas of bilingual and L2 adult and child processing. This includes early and late bilinguals, and L2 learners, all domains of language structure (syntax, morphology, semantics, phonology, the lexicon and pragmatics, and their interfaces), and both on-line (e.g. self-paced reading or listening, eye tracking, ERPs, neuroimaging techniques) and off-line methods.
Abstracts should be 500 words maximum (Times New Roman size 12, title in bold) with one additional page for examples, tables, figures and references. Please submit abstracts in pdf format via link by December 6, 2015. Notification of acceptance will be on January 30, 2016. There will one track of oral presentations and a limited number of poster presentations. Oral presentations will be 30 minutes long (20-minute talk plus 10-minute discussion).
