Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition
Meeting Description:
This 3-day workshop will focus on meaningful differences in the way children acquire language. We will explore (a) multiple sources of variation in early language development, including: children’s linguistic and cultural environments, their cognitive maturation, and the structural properties of the languages they are learning, alongside (b) the implications of this variation for the mechanisms that drive and support early language development, given the overall robustness of learning in the face of this variability.
Keynote speakers:
Gabriella Vigliocco – University College London
Jennifer Culbertson – University of Edinburgh
David Barner – University of California, San Diego
Call for Abstracts:
We invite abstracts covering any issue relating to variation in early language development. We especially encourage submissions focused on understudied populations, cross-linguistic and/or cross-cultural comparisons, and non-normative language development.
Abstracts for talks and posters should be no more than 4000-characters and can include up to two figures and/or tables. Submission details can be found at
