Welcome to LAILA - BICS
Welcome to our website!
These pages are still a work in progress, so please be sure to check back in a few weeks for more detailed information on LAILA-BICS.
LAILA-BICS - short for Linguistic Awareness in Language Attriters in Bilingual Contexts - is a longitudinal research project that looks at how people remember and forget languages they have learned, and at how learning, remembering and forgetting languages changes how we think. Our project is unique in its multilingual approach: rather than looking at the development of just one language, we look at several languages in interaction.
This project was made possible through a funding of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano and the Amt für Hochschulförderung.

These stipends are awareded to students who achieve excellence in their studies and who hope to pursue an ambitious project or goal with the help of this support. Students of history or German studies are usually given preference. Congratulations!
