Key note sessions on the connection between bilingualism and semantic/pragmatics by:
Ton Dijkstra, Donders Institute/Radboud University Nijmegen
Sue Fletcher-Watson, University of Edinburgh
Napoleon Katsos, University of Cambridge
Istvan Kecskes, State University of New York
Antonella Sorace, University of Edinburgh
For the fifth edition, we invite contributions focusing on
the impact of bilingualism on cognitive and linguistic development
How does bilingualism influence utterance interpretation? Can we identify differences in linguistic or cognitive skills between monolinguals and bilinguals? How about bi-dialectals? What are the mechanisms leading to these differences? We welcome researchers from various backgrounds to share their work on cognition and interpretation and invite them to a lively discussion of views and results.
Abstracts are invited for oral presentations (20 min. presentation plus 10 min. for discussion) and poster presentations. Please note that the number of oral presentations will be limited. Abstracts are restricted to one page A4 (including figures, tables, and references). Please leave out any identifying information from the abstract. The abstract should be submitted in pdf format to uicm5.brussels@gmail.com, with in the body of the email the title, author names, and affiliations. Please also indicate whether you want to be considered for an oral presentation, a poster presentation, or both. The deadline for submission is May 1st 2015. Abstracts will be reviewed by the scientific committee, and notifications of acceptance will be sent out around July 1st 2015.
