The Acquisition of Tense, Aspect and Mood 

Aston University

Saturday 9th - Sunday 10th February 2008

Guest speakers

Suzanne Schlyter (Lund)

Rafael Salaberry (University of Texas at Austin)

Aston University hosted in 2006-7 a 10-month Leverhulme Trust�??s sponsored project �??Tense-Aspect Development in L2 French�??. 

This specialized thematic conference will mark its end and disseminates its findings. It will also bring together researchers who work worldwide in the areas of tense, aspect and mood acquisition in either first or second language acquisition. Although the organizing team has been working on L2 French only, the conference is by no means restricted to French, and papers about other languages �?? and especially less studied ones �?? are most welcome! 

No theoretical background will be privileged so that diverse and even conflicting theories, approaches and backgrounds may lead to fruitful discussions.

The conference is open to renowned experts and established scholars, but also to young researchers and PhD students. Our aim is to create a synergy between experience and established research on the one hand, and enthusiasm and fresh ideas on the other so that our field as a whole benefits.

Anonymous abstracts in English or French should be sent to e.labeau@aston.ac.uk by the 15th October 2007. Notifications of acceptance will be sent mid-November.

It is hoped to publish a selection of peer-reviewed articles in Cahiers Chronos (Rodopi) that has expressed an interest in the project.

Organising Committee: Emmanuelle Labeau & Christine Bozier

Scientific Committee: Christine Bozier (Aston / Lund), Alex Housen (VUB, Brussel), Martin Howard (Cork) , Emmanuelle Labeau (Aston), Florence Myles (Newcastle), Clive Perdue (Paris 8), Rafael Salaberry (Austin), Suzanne Schlyter (Lund), Daniel Véronique (Aix).

L�??acquisition du temps, de l�??aspect et de la modalité

Aston University

Samedi 9 février �?? dimanche 10 février 2008

Orateurs invités

Suzanne Schlyter (Lund)

Rafael Salaberry (University of Texas at Austin)

Aston University a accueilli en 2006-7 un projet de recherche de 10 mois financé par le Leverhulme Trust, �??Tense and Aspect Development in L2 French�??.

Cette conférence thématique spécialisée marquera la fin du projet et disséminera ses résultats. Elle rassemblera aussi des chercheurs qui, aux quatre coins du monde, travaillent sur le temps, l�??aspect et la modalité dans l�??acquisition de la langue maternelle ou d�??une langue seconde. Bien que le comité d�??organisation n�??ait travaillé que sur le français, la conférence n�??est absolument pas limitée à cette langue et des présentations consacrées à d�??autres langues �?? particulièrement les moins étudiées �?? sont particulièrement bienvenues !

Aucun paradigme théorique ne sera privilégié pour que des approches et des arrière-plans divers, voire conflictuels, donnent lieu à des discussions fructueuses.

La conférence est ouverte aussi bien aux experts confirmés qu�??aux jeunes chercheurs et aux doctorants. Notre but est de créer une synergie entre expérience et recherche établie d�??une part, et enthousiasme et idées neuves de l�??autre.

Les résumés anonymes en anglais ou en français seront envoyés à e.labeau@aston.ac.uk pour le 15 octobre 2007. Les notifications d�??acceptation ou de rejet seront disponibles à la mi-novembre.

La publication d�??une sélection d�??articles évalués est prévue (peut-être dans la collection cahier Chronos qui a manifesté de l�??intérêt pour le projet).
