Learner Language, Learner Corpora – LLLC 2012

University of Oulu, Finland, October 5–6, 2012

The aim of the conference ‘Learner language, learner corpora’ is to bring together researchers interested in second language acquisition and foreign language learning, and in particular those working with either or both learner corpora and the learning and teaching of Finno-Ugric (FU) languages as a second or foreign language.

The conference will be organised to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the VIRSU project and to introduce the ICLFI project. VIRSU seeks to create connections between all linguists working with any of the Finno-Ugric target (foreign or second) languages or the language situations in the countries where Finno-Ugric languages are spoken.

The ICLFI project in turn focuses on identifying general tendencies or universals that are present in learner language regardless of the learner's mother tongue. The project hosts the five year old ICLFI Corpus which is a multi-mother tongue corpus of learner Finnish.

The Programme Committee invites original presentations and posters especially on these general issues, including but not limited to:

FU languages as target languages
Learning and teaching of related languages
Receptive multilingualism
Morphology and morphosyntax in language learning and teaching
Phraseology and lexicon in language learning and teaching
Learner language universals
Learner language analysis, especially corpus analyses of FU languages
Learner corpus annotation and lemmatization
Corpora in language learning and teaching
