Organisers
Dr. Clare Patterson, University of Cologne
Prof. Dr. Jacopo Torregrossa, Goethe University Frankfurt
Jun.-Prof. Dr. Sol Lago, Goethe University Frankfurt
The purpose of the workshop is to bring together researchers in and around Germany who are working on topics related to sentence and discourse processing in bilingual populations, to exchange ideas, identify common topics and to network with other researchers in this field. Due to the pandemic, opportunities for local networking have been limited in the last few years; this particularly affects early-career researchers. We would very much welcome posters on current or planned work from researchers in this category!
Invited speakers
Prof. Dr. Shanley Allen (TU Kaiserslautern)
Prof. Dr. Sarah Schimke (LMU München)
Prof. Dr. Theo Marinis (University of Konstanz)
Registration
Registration is obligatory. Registration has now closed. Registered attendees will receive a confirmation email with further details shortly. The workshop is free of charge. A light vegetarian lunch will be provided.
Posters
