Tense, Aspect and Modality in L2

The conference “Tense, Aspect and Modality in L2” (TAML2) brings together researchers from different countries and theoretical traditions working on the acquisition, learning and teaching of tense, aspect and modality (TAM) in second, third and additional languages. Since its inception in 2014, the conference has provided a forum for discussing current developments in the study of TAM in foreign language learners and multilingual speakers. The conference responds to the continuing need for updated theoretical accounts, innovative methodological tools, and cross-linguistic perspectives in research on TAM.

As in previous editions, TAML2 seeks to strengthen international networks of scholars working on TAM from different perspectives and to provide a collegial environment for the exchange of ideas. We invite proposals for paper and poster presentations on any topic related to tense, aspect and modality in second, third and additional languages. We particularly welcome submissions from doctoral researchers and early-career scholars.
