Title: Book: Prosody and Prosodic Transfer in Foreign Language Acquisition: Cantonese and Japanese
Body: From https://ssl.kundenserver.de/www.s83009615.einsundeinsshop.de/sess/utn;jsessionid=15485455bc4d03c/shopdata/index.shopscript Prosody and Prosodic Transfer in Foreign Language Acquisition: Cantonese and Japanese By Esther Yuk WahLai Publisher: Lincom Summary: The present volume is an elaborate study of the prosodic system and prosodic transfer effects in two typologically distinct languages, Cantonese and Japanese, which are representative of two big prosodic types, namely, tone language and pitch-accent language. The first part of the study examines the most important features characterizing the overall prosody of each language through a comprehensive review over important issues in the light of present day prosodic and phonological theories as the metrical theory, auto segmental and prosodic phonology etc. The second part focuses on a contrastive study to predict or explain potential areas of prosodic interference in the foreign language classroom of Cantonese and Japanese speakers through postulating a hierarchy of transfer parameters, with empirical verification where necessary.

Title: Call for Papers: Morphological Form & Syntactic Function in SLA
Body: From http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-1946.html The workshop ''Morphological Form and Syntactic Function: The Syntax-Morphology Interface in Child and Adult Second Language Acquisition'' is part of the 31st Annual Meeting of the German Linguistics Society (DGfS 2009) at the University of Osnabrueck, Germany. It aims at a systematic comparison of the syntax-morphology interface in child versus adult second-language (L2) acquisition. We invite researchers studying early and/or late L2 acquisition of morphosyntax from different perspectives to contribute presentations and to submit abstracts to this workshop. The relation between inflectional morphology and syntax in the development of L2 grammars has been at the forefront of research on early and late L2 acquisition. While the available evidence to date suggests that inflectional morphology presents only passing difficulty in child L2 acquisition and may be relatively closely tied to the acquisition of syntax, inflectional morphology is prone to protracted problems in late L2 acquisition, yet, with less clear linkages to syntactic development. This scenario has led to various approaches claiming either that child L2 acquisition differs from adult L2 acquisition in the domain of morphology, yet not in syntax (Schwartz 2003), or that they differ in both morphology and syntax (Blom, Polisenska & Weerman 2006). Against the backdrop of these approaches, this workshop seeks to relate comparative empirical data to three questions: 1) What are the effects of age in the acquisition of inflectional morphology and syntax? Do child L2 learners invariably outperform late L2ers, and, if so, is the relation between age and performance at the syntax-morphology interface linear or age-bounded, i.e. indicative of a Critical Period? 2) What are the effects of the first language on the acquisition of morphosyntax? Is morphosyntactic development in child L2 acquisition equally affected by L1 properties as adult L2 development? 3) What is the nature of problems at the syntax-morphology interface? Some approaches stress representational problems in syntax (e.g. Hawkins 2001) or morphology (e.g. Lardiere 2006), while others point to computational problems (e.g. Prévost & White 2000) or problems at PF (Goad & White 2004). Recent advances in L2 processing and neuroimaging research can help address the question as to whether non-convergent production and comprehension of morphosyntax in L2 development are due to representational deficits or computational problems in L2 acquisition. In addition, they allow us to consider the role of cognitive resources in child and adult L2 processing. In the workshop, we hope to discuss new findings in order to move closer towards a coherent perspective on age effects in the L2 acquisition of morphosyntax. Abstract submission guidelines: - Abstracts are for 20-minute talks (plus 10 minutes for discussion). - Abstracts should be one A4 page max. (Times New Roman, 12pt, single-spaced, one-inch-margins), including tables, figures and references. - Abstracts must be in pdf format. - Abstracts should contain the title of the talk, but not the authors. - Abstracts should be submitted by e-mail. Names, affiliations and contact details of the authors and the title of the abstract should be included in the body of the e-mail. Abstracts should be in the attachment. Please send abstracts to ag2.dgfs2009@gmail.com . The subject line should include ''abstract submission''. Important Dates: Abstract submission deadline: August 31, 2008. Notification of acceptance: September 30, 2008. Conference dates: March 4-6, 2009.
