Round Table

This year's round table theme: 

"Language appropriation and reappropriation: Theoretical, experimental, and corpus-based approaches in language acquisition and language rehabilitation".

Confirmed their participation in the roundtable discussion:

Sophie Kern (CNRS DDL & University of Lyon, France)

Jill Hohenstein (King’s College London, United Kingdom)

The theme aims to bring together research focused on processes of appropriation (e.g., in language acquisition, in monolingual/multilingual contexts or in migratory settings) and reappropriation of language (e.g., in cases of cultural resignification or language rehabilitation following a disorder). This theme addresses language in its development, functioning, and dysfunctions.

The round table will highlight interdisciplinary approaches that explore linguistic systems and the cognitive mechanisms underlying the acquisition, transmission, and reappropriation of languages. This includes theoretical, experimental, and corpus-based research in fields such as discourse studies, language acquisition and learning, pedagogy, sociolinguistics, pathology and rehabilitation, as well as psycholinguistic and neurolinguistic studies at the language-cognition interface.

Although the round table will emphasize this thematic orientation, the scope of the conference remains broad and will welcome any proposal related to any linguistic field, as in the first edition.
