Last year the 33rd annual BUCLD took place on October 31-November 2, 2008. The Conference, which has become one of the best known conferences on language development in the world, is now run by students in the Program in Applied Linguistics, under the guidance of a faculty adviser. The Conference involves year-round planning and draws over 500 people from all over the U.S. and around the world. It includes presentations in such areas as theoretical approaches to language acquisition, cross-cultural language development, second language development, language disorders, and literacy development. Each year, close to 500 abstracts are submitted to the conference, from which about 87 papers and 66 posters are chosen for presentation. Internationally renowned researchers also give keynote and plenary addresses, as well as a lunch symposium on a topic of current interest. The Conference is funded largely by the money taken in each year at the Conference, including registration fees. In addition, the Conferences in 2007 through 2011 are supported in part by the National Science Foundation under Grant No. BCS 0548399 and the National Institutes of Health under Grant No. R13 HD42130-01.
