\n<\/strong>Workshop Dates: 16-17 April 2021 (free event, online via zoom)<\/strong><\/p>\n

CALL FOR PAPERS<\/strong><\/p>\n

We invite abstracts for a workshop which will bring together researchers who have studied how motion event construal is expressed by second language learners or bilinguals either in naturalistic or experimental settings. It is well known that there are differences in the ways in which motion is expressed in different languages.\u00a0 In English, as in Germanic languages, manner of motion is often expressed in the main verb (Angela\u00a0ran<\/strong>\u00a0into the shop<\/em>) whereas in French, and other Romance languages, the main verb generally contains the path of motion and the manner is optionally expressed in a satellite (Angela entre le magasin (en courant<\/strong>) \u201cAngela entered the shop running\u201d<\/em>). Restructuring these patterns in the process of acquisition of another language with a different set of patterns is known to be very difficult (Cadierno & Ruiz, 2006; Navarro & Nicoladis, 2005). Further evidence for the complexities involved in restructuring can be found in the bidirectional crosslinguistic influence in learners\u2019 and bilinguals\u2019 motion event construals, among children as well as adults (Aveledo & Athanasopoulos 2015).<\/p>\n

Although the learning difficulties for L2 learners and bilinguals are well attested, there is little research which focuses on how a new way to talk about movement through space can be taught. Pedagogical strategies to teach motion events are virtually non-existent as this aspect of grammar is generally neglected in the L2 syllabus. Solutions proposed by the research community include Bylund and Athanasopoulos\u2019 (2015) suggestion that multimodal input (film clips with action scenes) helps to restructure motion, while Laws, Attwood and Treffers-Daller (under review) show that an Input Processing approach (VanPatten & Cadierno, 1993) has a positive effect. We hope that the workshop will inspire more researchers to develop new studies with innovative pedagogical approaches towards the teachability of motion and that findings from these studies can shed new light on the difficulties involved in restructuring this domain in the process of L2 learning. We also welcome papers on motion event construal in languages that have received little attention in the field so far, and papers which are based on innovative techniques to investigate this domain. Please see the Workshop Webpage<\/a> for further information.<\/p>\n
