AcqVA retreat in Moss, Spring 2022<\/em><\/p>\n

AcqVA is a joint UiT\/NTNU research group. Our members are involved in an increasing number of collaborative research projects<\/a>. Here is a description of AcqVA\u2019s purpose and vision:<\/p>\n

Humans are seemingly unique in the animal kingdom in that we have language; systems enabling communication about any topic, be it past, present or future. In fact, humans are not limited to one language, but can acquire several under the right conditions. Al\u00adthough undoub\u00adtedly a cultural object, lan\u00adguage is also a funda\u00admen\u00adtal part of the mind\/brain of a human being, the constitution of which we refer to as a mental gram\u00admar. Changes in states of linguistic knowledge, be it in develop\u00adment (acqui\u00adsition<\/em>) or possible erosion over the life\u00adspan (attri\u00adtion<\/em>), exa\u00admined across complementary populations and multiple lan\u00adguage com\u00adbinations (variation<\/em>), provide crucial know\u00adledge about the organi\u00adza\u00adtion of mental gram\u00admars. AcqVA conducts research based on real-life situ\u00ada\u00adtions, re\u00adflect\u00ading today\u2019s globa\u00adlized world where learning mul\u00adtiple lan\u00adguages at various points in the lifetime has become increasingly common. AcqVA\u2019s vision is to provide ground\u00adbreaking data and novel theories that will sub\u00adstan\u00adtially increase our understanding of how mental gram\u00admars may vary, how they develop in children and adults, and change under condi\u00adtions of reduced input and use.<\/p>\n
