Call for Papers (closed)
Deadline extension! NEW Deadline: 15.09.2016
1. Goals and Topics
The conference aims to bring together perspectives on (second) language learning that have a common denominator in usage based approaches to linguistic research. We therefore invite a broad range of papers taking a cognitive, functional, constructional, typological, and discourse approach to language learning (L1 and L2). We welcome submissions on any aspect of these topics, in particular, PAPERS, POSTERS and THEMATIC PANELS addressing one or more of the following topics:
- Linguistic relativity and language learning
- Thinking-for-speaking and language acquisition
- Usage-based linguistics in language acquisition
- Socio-cognitive language learning
- Language socialization
- Language learning as social activity
- Dynamic Systems / Chaos-Complexity-based language development
- Embodiment and language learning
- Construction-based L1 and L2 language acquisition, including the role of formulaic sequences and frequency issues
- Conversation analysis in language learning
- Development of L2 interactional and constructional competence
- Usage based L2 pedagogy
- Usage-based approaches to (second) language assessment

Invited colloquia:
-
Frank Fischer, LMU Munich:
(title to be announced)
- Søren Eskildsen, University of Southern Denmark (SDU):
What counts as evidence for L2 learning? - a conversation-analytic perspective.
The purpose of this colloquium is to advance our understanding of L2 learning over time from a conversation-analytic / ethnomethodological (CA-EM) viewpoint. The key issues addressed include a principled description of the interface between what is traditionally thought of as linguistic-semiotic resources and interactional competence, an operationalization of learning that is in line with CA-EM's emic approach, and a coherent methodology for investigating change over time in the same participants' social practices. The colloquium will bring together scholars working with a variety of L2s (Danish, English, Italian, Finnish, French) in a range of settings (everyday interaction, schools, workplace).
