BOOK OF ABSTRACTS (PDF) 07/16/2024, from 10:30 AM to 12:30 PM , Room P131 Symposium: Assessment of Pragmatic Competence in Child Language.Methodologies & Research in Diverse Populations Speakers: Maria Busch; Lisa Vössing; Laura Hüser; Luca Plachy This symposium provides an overview of various methodological approaches for assessing pragmatic competence in children, especially considering diverse populations such as multilingual children, children with language needs and autistic children.

The current study investigates whether color and grammatical gender information similarly interact during word recognition in German, a language with grammatical gender marking (e.g., der Hut – theMASC hat vs. die Kappe – theFEM cap). We present word pairs differing in grammatical gender (feminine vs. masculine) in three different conditions in a preferential looking task with 3- to 6-year-old children and a comparable forced-choice task in adults:...

The deadline for abstract submission is October 15. Do not miss this opportunity to submit your abstract.

Dear colleagues, based on your requests, the Organizing committee decided to extend the submission deadline until October 15, 2023. We are looking forward to your contributions for the upcoming IASCL 2024 in all formats – individual presentations (posters or oral presentations) or symposia. We especially encourage the submission of symposia: we understand that it may require more time to organize a symposium, so we hope the extra time will allow convenors to finish their work. Important information: Please note, that the symposia are submitted as one submission (all presentations are included in this submission) by the Chair of the symposium.  Please submit the symposium once you, as the Chair, are sure all symposium participants have their IASCL 2024 account created (https://abstracts.iascl2024.com) and you have collected all the abstracts from your participants. This means: one symposium = one submission. Do not hesitate to contact us at secretariat@iascl2024.com with your questions.

Are you ready to submit your abstract for the upcoming IASCL 2024? The deadline is approaching fast and is already this Saturday, September 30th. We would like to encourage especially your symposia proposals: it is a longstanding tradition for IASCL conferences to present focused symposia, and the competition for individual presentations will be very strong.
