New York University
Sociolinguistic Perspectives on
AGE
November 12-13, 2004
Recent advances in the study of the impact of speaker's age on language
raise new questions. It's time to take stock.
- How does a speaker's age affect her grammar?
- Is adolescents' language really that different from the language of other
people?
- How important is age grading in sociolinguistic explanation?
- When do speakers stop acquiring their vernacular?
- What is the impact of aging on a speaker's grammar?
These are some of the kinds of questions this conference will address. Ten
speakers have been invited whose work covers the youngest speakers, the
oldest speakers, and cohorts in between.
