Area 1: Psycholinguistics and Generative Grammar
Course 1: Language development in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder
Philippe Prévost – Université François-Rabelais, France
Abstract: Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder associated with deficits in social communication and social interaction and restrictive, repetitive patterns of behavior, interests or activities (DSM-V). Language is affected in all individuals with ASD, though there is considerable variation in exactly which parts of language are affected and to what degree. While pragmatics is generally impaired in ASD, many verbal children also have difficulties with structural aspects of language. This course will look at language development of children with ASD, focusing mainly on phonology and morphosyntax. Difficulties with structural language in ASD will be compared to what has been reported for other pathologies affecting language, including specific language impairment. The relationships between language development and cognitive development (particularly nonverbal IQ) will also be examined, which will bring us to discuss the existence of different language profiles in children with ASD.
Philippe Prévost is professor of Linguistics at the University in Tours (France). His research focuses on comparing morphosyntactic development of French in different contexts of acquisition, including child L2 acquisition and acquisition in contexts of pathology, such as autism and specific language impairment. He is particularly interested in exploring the impact of computational complexity in language development. He is currently part of an international network of research labs exploring the language abilities of children with autism led by the University of Amsterdam (LACA, 2017-2020). Recent publications have appeared in journals such as Applied Psycholinguistics and Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism, as well as in collective volumes.

Course 2: Adpositions: theoretical and experimental perspectives
Ludovico Franco – NOVA CLUNL, Portugal
Abstract: In this course, we will introduce some aspects of the morphosyntax of adpositions (postpositions & prepositions) in natural languages, specifically taking into account their role in providing thematic content and licensing arguments. We will address issues related to:
. cross-linguistic properties of adpositions (from a formal perspective);
. adpositions and the lexical/functional divide (relators and axial parts);
. adpositions and related categories: adpositions and applicatives, adpositions and (oblique) case, adpositions and serial verbs;
. adpositions and lexicalization: current approaches to syncretism;
. experimental studies on adpositions, with a special focus on adpositions in aphasia.
Ludovico Franco is an Investigator FCT at NOVA CLUNL. His main research interests are morphosyntax and neurolinguistics, with an emphasis on language processing. He has published a monograph and several peer-reviewed papers in renowned international journals.

Course 3: Heritage Language Acquisition: Theories, Methodologies and Future Directions
Fatih Bayram – University of Reading, England
Abstract: Heritage language (HL) bilinguals are the children of immigrants who grow up speaking a minority home language that is not the dominant language in the larger community. HL bilinguals develop their first language (L1) under conditions of significantly reduced exposure to quality (and even quantity) of input as compared to monolinguals in native-home environment. What we know definitively is that adult outcomes of HL bilingualism diverge, on a continuum, from monolingual norms. In this line, the purpose of this course is to gain an understanding of the core issues pertaining to the study of heritage language development in childhood and outcomes of development and ultimate attainment in adulthood. In doing so, the course aims to cover:
. formal/theoretical approaches to HL acquisition;
. the domain(s) of inquiry in HL studies;
. methodological issues in the study of HL acquisition/processing;
. the role of L1 attrition in HL outcomes;
. the role of quality and quantity of input in HL development;
. the role of HL literacy and formal instruction in the development and maintenance of HL.
Fatih Bayram is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Reading. His research covers various types of child and adult bilingualism with a primary focus on heritage language bilinguals, a specific subtype of bilingual first language learners. His research uses online and offline psycholinguistic methods to study language (grammatical) development/acquisition in later childhood, outcomes of development in young adulthood (the state of grammatical competence achieved) and processing (the real time unfolding of the grammatical system) at all ages along the developmental continuum.

Area 2: Terminology and Lexicography 
Course 1: Semantics in Terminology: the contribution of concept to the meaning of term
Christophe Roche – Université Savoie Mont-Blanc, France
Abstract: “There is no term without concept”. The concept is at the core of terminology, as recalls the 1087-1 ISO standard on terminology, which states that a term is a “designation of a general concept in a specific domain” [ISO 1087-1]. Hence, the definition of term is more a definition of thing (i.e. the definition of the concept denoted by the term), rather than a definition of word (in relation to the usages of the term in discourse).
It remains to define a theory of concept on which the theory of terminology can rely. Stated as extra-linguistic knowledge – a concept is not a matter of linguistics and must not be confused with the signified, however strongly interconnected a concept and a signified can be – the notion of concept raises several issues which will be studied in this course. Let us mention some of them: What is a concept? How can it be defined? In which language can it be expressed, since there is no knowledge without language? But terminology is also a matter of linguistics: a terminology is a “set of designations belonging to one special language” [ISO 1087-1]. It is the reason why this course will also study the relationships between the two dimensions, which compose every terminology: the linguistic one and the conceptual one. We will see the relationships between the name of a concept and a term, the definition of a concept written in an artificial (formal) language and the definition of a term written in a natural language, and from a more general point of view, the relationships between the category of thought and the category of language either natural or artificial. As terminologies are more and more involved in the Digital World, mainly for IT applications, e.g. for multilingual semantic information retrieval, information and knowledge management, computer-aided translation, etc. their conceptual systems must be computer readable. This is the reason why the last part of this course will be devoted to ontology in the sense of knowledge engineering, defined as a specification of a conceptualization expressed in a computer-readable language. Applied to terminology, ontology opens the way to ontoterminology, a new approach to conceptual terminology.
Christophe Roche is Full Professor at the University Savoie Mont-Blanc (France) and the Head of the Condillac International Research Group in “Terminology and Ontology”. He is also Researcher and Lecturer at the University NOVA of Lisbon (Portugal), as well as Special Appointment Professor at the University of Liaocheng (China). He has set up and participated in more than ten European Projects (Eurêka, FP 4, Interreg, Tempus, FP6, FP 7, H2020) and several Industrial Projects (Nuclear Plants, Human Resources, Cultural Heritage, etc.). Since 2007 he organises the International TOTh Conference (“Terminology & Ontology: Theories and applications). He is also the Chairman of the AFNOR (The French Organization for Standardization) Commission on Terminology and the Project leader of the ISO 1087-1 and ISO 704 Standards on Terminology, vocabulary and principles.

Course 2: Trends and advanced approaches in Lexicography
Teresa Lino, Raquel Amaro, Rute Costa – NOVA CLUNL, NOVA FCSH, Portugal
Abstract: Lexicography, in addition to being an autonomous discipline, has become a central discipline in numerous areas of knowledge, ranging from eHealth to Digital Humanities, passing through language teaching and base resources development for Computational Linguistics and Natural Language Processing. Lexicography, which comprises scientific research on a corpus of words, reflects advances in Lexicology and Terminology, on the one hand, and metalexicographic concerns, including computer science and the analysis of the content of dictionaries and other lexical resources, on the other, providing a series of operative concepts and effective syntheses.
The seminar will have as fundamental objects: a) lexicography for communication in specialized contexts; b) lexicographic approaches and issues in relational and computational models of the lexicon: c) theories and methodologies of contemporary lexicography in different approaches: monolingual and bilingual lexicography, current and specialized language lexicography, mother-tongue, second or foreign language lexicography, and learning lexicography; d) lexicographic definition: description models of the lexicon.
Actual cases of lexicographic application will be presented throughout the seminar.

Course 3: From Print to Screen: The Theory and Practice of Digitizing Dictionaries
Toma Tasovac – Belgrade Center for Digital Humanities, Serbia
Abstract:
This course will introduce the theory and practice of converting print dictionaries into electronic form as a basis for exploring broader questions about the very nature of dictionaries as both tools and cultural artifacts. We will study lexical data modeling, in general, and Text Encoding Initiative, in particular, as a way of representing complex dictionary structures. We will discuss the relationship between the structural encoding of dictionary data and the functionalities of electronic dictionaries. At the end of the course, the participants should have a fundamental understanding of how to analyze, identify and describe dictionary data in order to query it or share it with others.

Area 3: Text and Discourse Linguistics
Course 1: La linguistique textuelle – et son application didactique
Lita Lundquist – Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
Abstract: Dans le cours, nous traiterons la question du bien-fondé et la raison d’être de la linguistique textuelle; nous examinerons différents modèles textuels, des plus traditionnels (structuraux) aux plus récents (procéduraux); nous aborderons la perspective comparative de la linguistique textuelle, en comparant comment la cohérence textuelle se réalise linguistiquement en deux langues différentes (L1 et L2); nous montrerons comment le textuel s’ouvre sur le cognitif et le culturel ; et finalement nous discuterons l’application de la linguistique textuelle à l’analyse et à l’enseignement des langues (étrangères).
(Le cours se fera en français – avec éventuellement de petites digressions en anglais.)
Lita Lundquist est professeur émérite à la Copenhagen Business School, où elle s’est occupée – dans la recherche autant que dans l’enseignement – de la linguistique textuelle, qu’elle a introduite en Scandinavie, et partiellement en France, dans les années 1980, et développée continuellement depuis. Dans ses publications, elle décrit des modèles textuels généraux, explique des phénomènes particuliers de cohérence textuelle, et combine recherche et enseignement dans une didactique de langue étrangère.

Course 2: Textes, formats, supports: une approche sémiolinguistique
Rossana De Angelis – Université Paris-Est Créteil, Laboratoire Céditec, France
Abstract: Qu’est-ce qu’on fait quand on interprète un texte ? En partant du concept sémiotique d’interprétation et des approches aux textes linguistiques telles que proposées par François Rastier et Umberto Eco, nous allons intégrer au fur et à mesure dans notre réflexion le rapport que chaque texte entretient avec le format et le support par lesquels il se présente. Nous allons nous pencher premièrement sur des exemples de textes imprimés, deuxièmement sur des exemples de textes numériques. Nous allons ainsi montrer comment une approche herméneutique puisse compléter cette perspective, pour enfin terminer sur ce qu’on identifie comme “herméneutique numérique”, une approche aux textes numériques qui est en train de chercher sa place dans le panorama actuel des sciences du langage.
Rossana De Angelis est Maitre de Conférences en Sciences du langage à l’Université Paris-Est Créteil et membre du Laboratoire Céditec. Ses recherches se développent selon trois volets: les approches linguistiques et sémiotiques dans l’analyse des textes écrits; les pratiques de l’écriture et de l’édition, selon les formats traditionnels et numériques; l’histoire et l’épistémologie des sciences du langage. Elle est lauréate du Prix Vittorio Sainati 2013 décerné par les Editions ETS. Ces recherches sur les principales théories du texte contemporaines ont été publiées dans l’ouvrage Il testo conteso (ETS, Pise, 2014). Elle enseigne les théories et les pratiques du texte et de l’écriture.
