This year's Mayfest is a Language Learning Fest, devoted to research on the role of input and how it is processed by children in first language acquisition. Its two principal aims are (i) to bring together language acquisition researchers representing theoretical, experimental and computational approaches, and (ii) to promote discussions and interactions among researches with different perspectives so as to further our understanding of the field. The program consists of presentations by invited speakers, representing contrasting theoretical and methodological perspectives (e.g., experimental, statistical, cue-based, computational modeling) in the field of phonological and syntactic development. Following the presentations, there will be two discussion sessions (phonology and syntax), in which our faculty members, Bill Idsardi and Jeff Lidz, will summarize and present commentaries on the presentations to facilitate the discussions between the audience and the presenters. Invited speakers: Elan Dresher, University of Toronto Carla Hudson Kam, University of California, Berkeley Mark Johnson, Brown University Jessica Maye, Northwestern University Toben Mintz, University of Southern California William Sakas, CUNY/Hunter College Daniel Swingley, University of Pennsylvania Charles Yang, Yale University Discussants: Bill Idsardi, University of Maryland Jeff Lidz, University of Maryland The registration and attendance are free of charge. More details on the workshop (including directions, schedule, and accommodation information) are available at our website: http://ling.umd.edu/events/mayfest/2006/ If you are interested in participating in Mayfest 2006, please register for Mayfest prior to the pre-registration deadline: http://ling.umd.edu/events/mayfest/2006/register.html [Pre-registration deadline: May 5th, 2006] Please direct any questions to: mayfest2006ling.umd.edu Sincerely, The Mayfest 2006 Organizing Committee (Christopher Dyer, Jobin Matthew, Akira Omaki) Respond to list\|Read more issues\|LINGUIST home page\|Top of issue
