We invite oral and poster abstracts that examine multilingualism across Language, Brain, and Learning. Methodological diversity is encouraged (behavioural experiments, EEG/MRI/MEG, eye-tracking, corpus work, longitudinal/intervention studies). Open science and cross-linguistic or cross-cultural work is welcome.
We invite submissions of papers and posters that shed light on various aspects of the overarching theme, which emphasizes multilingualism as a dynamic and multi-layered phenomenon that must be studied across various levels of analysis. In addition to submissions that look at the effects of multilingualism within the individual domains of Language, Brain and Learning, we especially welcome submissions that go beyond single-domain perspectives to address how linguistic representations, neurocognitive mechanisms, and learning environments interact. We encourage research that aligns with cross-cutting themes such as the interaction of multiple linguistic systems, the role of linguistic and typological distance, the neurocognitive dynamics of language learning, individual variation in multilingual development, and the relationship between multilingualism and literacy.
Submission and review are handled via Nettskjema. Abstracts are double-blind and matched to reviewers using weighted keywords (Thematic focus, Methodology, Population, Domain, Perspective).
