Product Description This volume is a selection of papers presented at Linguists of Tomorrow, the 1st Cyprus Postgraduate Conference in Theoretical and Applied Linguistics, held at the University of Cyprus on 78 May 2010. The collection includes 9 chapters by postgraduate students of linguistics as well as two illustrious keynote papers by Prof. Barbara Lust and Prof. Thomas McFadden. The topics range from theoretical linguistics (syntax, semantics, morphology, and phonology) to psycholinguistics (first and second language acquisition, language impairments, and language processing) and applied linguistics (bilingualism, dictionaries, writing, and ethnolinguistics). As such, this collection of papers by established as well as upandcoming researchers appeals to a wide range of scholars, students and academics alike, interested in current issues in linguistics. About the Author Kleanthes K. Grohmann is Associate Professor of Biolinguistics in the Department of English Studies at the University of Cyprus and founding Director of the Cyprus Acquisition Team. His research deals with biolinguistic investigations of the language faculty, with emphasis on the nature of grammar, syntactic theory, and (a)typical language development. He is the (co)author and editor of more than a dozen volumes and over 100 scholarly publications in theoretical linguistics, comparative syntax, and language acquisition. Kleanthes is also the founding coeditor of the open access journal Biolinguistics and the John Benjamins book series Language Faculty and Beyond. Aljona Shelkovaya is a PhD Candidate in Linguistics in the Department of English Studies at the University of Cyprus with an MA in Applied Linguistics from the same department. Her PhD focuses on the phonological development of normally developing children. Specifically, Aljona examines the patterns of the syllable margins in Cypriot Greekspeaking children and has presented her work at a number of international conferences. Dionysios Zoumpalidis is a PhD Candidate in Linguistics in the Department of English Studies at the University of Cyprus with an MA in Applied Linguistics from the University of Essex. His doctoral research deals with the processes of language shift/language maintenance within the multilingual community of Pontic Greeks in Cyprus. Dionysios has (co)presented his work on such sociolinguistic topics as language identity, language contact, and language attitudes at international conferences, some of which already published.
