Production and Perception of Broken Grammar

Language users do not always follow grammatical norms. Everyday texts contain atypical convention-breaking grammar, e.g. atypical usage of word order, grammatical words, derivations and inflections. At this seminar grammar researchers and researchers of second language acquisition will meet with psycholinguistics to discuss the nature of grammar anomalies and relevance of naturalistic grammar anomalies when conducting psycholinguistic experiments on grammar processing.

At this seminar we welcome all researchers and teachers with an interest in grammar anomalyincluding (but not limited to) researchers of second language acquisition, grammarians, psycholinguists and teachers at language schools.  

The seminar is organized by Broken Grammar and Beyond at NorS, UCPH.

Participation is free, but space is limited, so please register here before November 15th 2018.

Please direct all inquiries about the seminar to burholt@hum.ku.dk.
