Meeting Description:
Second International Workshop on Children’s Acquisition and Processing of Head-Final Languages (CAPHL 2016)
21 May 2016
Humboldt University, Berlin
Led by: Dr. Duygu Ozge, Marie Curie Fellow, Harvard University & Middle East Technical University & Prof. Pia Knoeferle, Humboldt University
Venue: Humboldt-University Berlin, Dorotheenstr. 24, Dekanatsraum, (3.246)
Almost half of the world's languages have SOV order. These languages generally locate the verbs at the end of their clauses, and they tend to be rich in morphosyntax and flexible in word ordering.
There is emerging data exploring how young children process head-final languages, which present unique challenges for theories of language acquisition, language processing, and for theories about the neural organization of linguistic features.
1st CAPHL was held at Harvard University (
http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~dozge/caphl/index.html), which initiated communication among psycholinguists working on child language processing in head-final languages.
With this second workshop, we aim to foster further discussion and fruitful exchange of ideas among researchers who study child processing of head-final languages and structures. We also hope that this workshop leads to future collaborative projects and a special issue on Language Processing in Head-Final Child Language.
