Call for Papers

Call for papers

The main goal of the workshop is to bring together researchers who are interested in multilingual acquisition, processing and language use of a third (L3) language. Empirical and theoretical contributions are welcome. We further encourage submissions on early trilingualism as well as submissions specifying implications for educational contexts.

We seek high quality paper and poster presentations that contribute to the issues mentioned above. Priority will be given to those contributions which examine specific empirical questions related to the acquisition and processing of L3/Ln morphosyntax, phonology, phonetics, the lexicon, semantics and pragmatics from a cognitive perspective. Abstracts must be no more than 400 words (not including title, figures and references). Following peer review, a number of papers will be selected for oral or poster presentations.

We are planning to offer 3 scholarships to support the attendance of PhD students. Applicants will be required to fill out an application form, which will be made available once registration for the workshop opens. The decision will be made based on the quality of the abstracts.
