  • ODAS. March, 2007.
    The Ontario Dialogues on the Acquisition of Spanish is a yearly graduate student conference. It was first organized in 2005 by the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures at the University of Western Ontario, under the name "Ontario Dialogues on the Acquisition of Spanish and Portuguese". The second edition of the conference was hosted at the Department of Spanish and Portuguese of the University of Toronto. It covers the main areas of linguistics (phonology, morphosyntax and semantics) from the perspective of the L1/L2/bilingual acquisition of Spanish.

    Abstracts

  • GASLA-6. April, 2002.
    Generative Approaches to Second Language Acquisition is a biannual international conference. It was first hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1992. Since then meetings have been held at several North-American institutions with strong track records in L2 acquisition research from a Generative perspective: CUNY, McGill, Pittsburgh/Carnegie-Mellon, University of Ottawa, Indiana University, University of Calgary, and most recently at the University of Iowa. It deals with different aspects of L2 acquisition (e.g. non-native grammar description, L1/L2 acquisition similarities and contrasts, sentence processing, etc.). It is a primary research conference.
