Main Session
For the main session, we invite abstract submissions of original, unpublished work conducted from the generative perspective on any aspect of second language acquisition, bilingualism, third language acquisition / multilingualism, or heritage language acquisition.
Special Session
In addition to the main session, there will be a special session on computational and psycholinguistic approaches to second language acquisition. We invite submissions that take a computational and/or psycholinguistic/neurolinguistic approach to any aspect of second language acquisition or bilingualism/multilingualism. Submitting results from work in progress or unsuccessful experiments is also encouraged.
GASLA-17 will also feature a workshop on eye-tracking and computational modeling of eye-tracking data.
