 Groningen Assembly on Language Acquisition 1995
 University of Groningen The Netherlands

connectionism.

Kim Plunkett, University of Oxford Luigi Rizzi, University of Geneva

 Abstract Submissions
Abstracts may cover all aspects of language acquisition relating
to the core areas of linguistics, including phonology,
