    Language Learning ISSN 0023-8333 EDITORIAL Extending the Reach of Research: Introducing Open Accessible Summaries at Language Learning Emma Marsden (Associate Journal Editor & Incoming Journal Editor), Pavel Trofimovich (Journal Editor), and Nick Ellis (General Editor) University of York, Concordia University, and University of Michigan Open science practices, which include efforts to enhance accessibility to data and ma- terials and to improve the dissemination of findings to broader audiences, have been at the forefront of the open science movement worldwide. Language Learning is proud to extend its support of open science practices by participating in the OASIS (Open Accessible Summaries in Language Studies) initiative, which aims to make language- related research openly available and easily accessible, both physically and conceptually. As part of the OASIS initiative, Language Learning now publishes accessible sum- maries of all accepted articles, including reviews and syntheses. Written in nontechnical We are grateful to the Journal Editors in language sciences who contributed to the guidelines for summary writing. We thank the OASIS team contributors (Sible Andringa, Laura Collins, Aline Godfroid, Suzanne Graham, Carrie Jackson, Rowena Kasprowicz, Ines Martin, Kevin McManus, Luke Plonsky, Andrea Revesz, June Ruivivar, Natasha Tokowicz, Tessa Warren) and the audience of a colloquium entitled “Extending the Reach of Research in the Language Sciences” at the 2018 meeting of the American Association for Applied Linguistics in Chicago, Illinois. An initial collection of over 300 accessible summaries now exists on the OASIS platform (https://oasis- database.org) thanks to an overwhelming collaborative international effort, involving over 20 aca- demics, 10 postdoctoral researchers (including Inge Alferink, Lisa-Maria Muller, David O’Reilly, and Angela Tellier), and doctoral and master’s students too numerous to list here.

Abstracts A. Speaker Session 1 9-12 B. Speaker Session 2 13-17 V. Sponsors 18 2 About LSURC We are proudly partnered with the UBC Language Sciences Initiative and UBC’s Speech and Linguistics Student Association (SALSA), who tirelessly support our committee’s efforts to organize this event. Established in 2017 from a committee of five Linguistics and Speech Science undergraduate students, the Language Sciences Undergraduate Research Conference (LSURC) was formed with the goal of creating an opportunity for undergraduate students to explore language and communication research with an interdisciplinary perspective. While inaugurated at UBC Vancouver, we attempt to expand our reach to undergraduate students studying in other disciplines and at other institutions in order to facilitate undergraduate engagement with language research. Our committee (composed of undergraduate students across disciplines) meets weekly from September until February to plan this two-day event. We are excited to have you all attend and hope LSURC is an eye-opening, inspiring, and rewarding experience. 2020 Conference Theme Language Through Education: How can we apply linguistics and language science theories to educational practice? Language and education work like a two-way street: they influence each other, shaping the way we think and forming our ideas which can be shared amongst others. This intellectual growth facilitates our ability to connect with individuals in various settings – institutions, classrooms, even in mundane conversation. The different aspects of language play an integral role in communication, enabling us to gain insight and probe into the countless areas of academia and research.

  • Exaptation, Grammaticalization, and Reanalysis
    Heiko Narrog Tohoku University Exaptation, Grammaticalization, and Reanalysis Abstract The goal of this paper is to argue that exaptation, as introduced into the study of language change by Lass (1990, 1997), in specific functional domains, is a limited alternative to grammaticalization. Exaptation, similarly to grammaticalization, leads to the formation of grammatical elements. Like grammaticalization, exaptation is based on the mechanism of reanalysis. It decisively differs from grammaticalization, however, as it implies change in the opposite direction, namely from material absorbed in the lexicon back to grammatical material. Two sets of data are presented as evidence for the replicability of this process. One involves the occurrence of exaptation across languages in a specific semantic domain, namely, the evolution of morphological causatives out of lexical verb patterns. The other data pertain to recurrent processes of exaptation in one language, namely in Japanese, where exaptation figures in the development of various morphological categories. In all cases of exaptation, reanalysis is crucially involved. This serves to show that reanalysis may be more fundamental to grammatical change than both grammaticalization and exaptation. Furthermore, it allows for change both with the usual directionality of grammaticalization and against it. 1. Introduction Even detractors of grammaticalization theory do not seriously challenge the fact that in the majority of cases the morphosyntactic and semantic development of grammatical material follows the paths outlined in the standard literature on grammaticalization. The two following California Linguistic Notes Volume XXXII No. 1 Winter, 2007 2 issues, however, potentially pose a critical challenge to the validity of the theory. First, there is the question of the theoretical status of grammaticalization as a coherent and unique concept.

  • English Phonology and Linguistic Theory: an Introduction to Issues, and to ‘Issues in English Phonology’
    Language Sciences 29 (2007) 117–153 www.elsevier.com/locate/langsci English phonology and linguistic theory: an introduction to issues, and to ‘Issues in English Phonology’ Philip Carr a, Patrick Honeybone b,* a De´partement d’anglais, Universite´ de Montpellier III-Paul Vale´ry, Route de Mende, 34199 Montpellier, France b Linguistics and English Language, University of Edinburgh, 14 Buccleuch Place, EH8 9LN, Scotland, UK Abstract Data from the phonology of English has been crucial in the development of phonological and sociophonological theory throughout its recent past. If we had not had English to investigate, we claim, with both its unique and its widely-shared phonological phenomena, linguistic theory might have developed quite differently. In this article, we document some of the ways in which particular English phonological phenomena have driven theoretical developments in phonology and related areas, as a contribution to the history of recent phonological theorising. As we do this, we set in their context the other individual articles in the Special Issue of Language Sciences on ‘Issues in English Phonology’ to which this article is an introduction, explaining both their contents and how they relate to and seek to advance our understanding of the English phonological phenomena in question.

PUB DATE Mar 77 NOTE 36p.; Paper presented at the Annual Linguistics Symposium on Language Acquisition (6th, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, March 18-19, 1977) EDRS PRICE MF-$0.83 HC-$2.06 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Child Language; Comiunicative Competence (Languages); Interdisciplinary Approach; *Language Development; Language Research; Language Usage; Language Variation; *Linguistic Theoty; *Psycholinguistics; *Second Language Learning ABSTRACT The interaction between theoretical linguistics and language teaching has historically been problematic. This interaction is viewed here from the standpoint of educational linguistics, which is the intersection of linguistics sand related language sciences with formal ard informal education. Thé issue is the relevant educational problem that knowledge about language acquisiticn could help -solve. To this end, three related questions from the fields of psycholinguistics and language acquisition are investigated: (1) Wliat is the normal course of the development of language in an individual? (2) Given the normal range of individual variability in the development of communicative competence, what factors account for this variation? (3) Which of these factors ate susceptible-to control by an educational system? It is felt that the answers to these questions are basic to language education, since they both set its limits and suggest the kind of intervention that might permit helping each individual.
