Meeting Description:

The LAVA research group (Language Acquisition, Variation and Attrition) and
the the PoLaR lab (Psycholinguistics of Language Representation) at UiT the
Arctic University of Norway are pleased to announce the workshop Bilingualism
and the Brain, to be held in Tromsø May 4th-5th, 2020. The purpose of the
workshop is to bring together researchers from around the world who work on
bilingualism from a brain prospective. More specifically, the focus will be to
what extent the amount of exposure, knowledge and the degree of active
engagement with more than one language in a single mind affects brain
structure, brain functions, and/or how neurophysiological measures tap into
the processing of multiple languages.
 
Keynote Speakers:

* Gigi Luk (McGill University, Canada)
* John Grundy (Iowa State University, USA)
* Clara Martin (BCBL San Sebastian, Spain)
* Christos Pliatsikas (University of Reading, UK)
* Minna Lehtonen (University of Oslo, Norway)


Call for Papers:

The deadline for submissions is February 15, 2020. You may submit an abstract
for consideration as a paper, poster or both. Please indicate in your
submission if you would like to be considered as a paper or poster only; all
others will be automatically considered for both. We accept poster
submissions, especially from graduate students and postdocs, that present
ongoing work, even at a well-developed (but not yet implemented) conceptual
level. Abstract submissions must fit on one A4 page, written in Times New
Roman script, 12 point font. A second, optional page can be used for
references, charts/tables, and examples of experimental methodology only. Your
abstract should include a title, but no identifying information. Up to five
5000 NOK (roughly 500 euros) in funding is available to PhD students with
highly rated abstracts.  

If you wish to be considered for this, please send an e-mail to: 

[email protected]

Abstracts will be peer-reviewed and we endeavor to inform authors of the
outcome by March 15, 2020.
