| Title | Call for Papers: Workshop on Second Language Acquisition, United Kingdom |
| Body | From http://linguistlist.org/issues/18/18-1315.html Workshop on Second Language Acquisition and Spatial Language Date: 10-Sep-2007 - 10-Sep-2007 Location: Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom Spatial language, such as asking directions for places in large scale space, or asking where a misplaced object is in small scale space, constitutes part of the basic fabric of language. Research into spatial language has recently been a hotbed of activity, including much work showing that languages vary greatly in how they carve up space. Furthermore, it is often noted by researchers and practitioners in second language learning that spatial language, and spatial adpositions in particular, present a particular challenge for the second language learner. The focus of this workshop will be to bring together work on SLA and spatial language with a view to characterizing the processes and constraints that affect the acquisition of L2 in this important domain. Attendance is free of charge and contributions to the workshop will be collected into a special issue of a journal or a book. Submissions are now invited for oral presentation slots and poster presentation slots. The oral presentations will be 20 minutes in length including (including 5 minutes for questions). There are 9 presentation slots available, and 15 poster slots. Call Deadline: 01-Jun-2007 More information available at http://www.cocolab.org/esla . |
