Location: Rooms 1.104 and 2.117, Kroghstræde 3, Aalborg University Do you conduct research on children or infants? Would you like to meet other scholars and students from the Humanities, Social Sciences, Medical Sciences and Natural/Technical Sciences who have a similar interest? The Centre for Discourse Studies invites you to participate in a local workshop on barn/child for researchers at Aalborg University and other institutions in the Aalborg region. Since many scholars and groups are working independently, we feel that it is time to assess the state of research in Aalborg on the theme of children, and to listen to other perspectives to envisage possibilities for commentary and mutual collaboration. In this workshop, participants will present their research in a roundtable session and discuss fruitful interdisciplinary collaborations.
Professor Jens Normann Jørgensen, KU, will give a lecture
on bilingualism and children in Denmark in Danish entitled
Tosprogede børn og unge, sprogbrugere eller sprogere? Igennem de seneste årtier har den anvendte sprogforskning, især sociolingvistikken, skiftet synsvinkel på forholdet mellem sociale strukturer og sproglige variation. Den klassiske sociolingvistik studerede sproglig variation som effekt af sociologiske forskelle. De senere år har vi set en række studier af menneskers konstruktion af sociale relationer gennem varierende sprogbrug. Dette giver anledning til helt at omvurdere tosprogethed - med udgangspunkt i en opfattelse af mennesker som sprogere (languagers) er det muligt at forstå og opfatte tosproget praksis som normal, fornuftsdreven virksomhed med at tilpasse verden. Den kan også opfattes som social konstruktion af sprogernes virkelighed. Det betyder, at vi må tage tosproget praksis alvorligt, at vi må forstå de tosprogede børn som ganske almindelige børn med en ganske almindelig sprogevne, de blot bruger på en måde, som de vestlige nationalromantiske samfund ikke kan forstå. The deadline for registration is 20th September 2004, and attendance is free (lunch included). Register with Paul McIlvenny. Please give an indication of your institutional affiliation and your research area and interests. If you would like to present your research for 15 minutes, then please describe your topic (title and short abstract). The languages of the workshop are Danish/English. Location and travel information is available on this web site. ScheduleThe schedule is given below.
