Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition
Meeting Description:
We happily announce that the workshop will take place fully online (talks, posters, and more) on Oct 22–23.
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
Andrea Ravignani – MPI for Psycholinguistics
David Barner – University of California, San Diego
Program:
We are
excited to share the final program for the upcoming Many Paths to Language (MPaL) 2020 workshop, which is focused on meaningful variation in child language development. The workshop will take place fully online on October 22-23 and will be
streamed on three different time zones: San Francisco (GMT -7), Paris (GMT +1), and Singapore (GMT +8), with much of the content available for asynchronous viewing as well.
All talks will be provided with captions and an
International Sign translation. In contrast, only captioning is available for posters. If you would like interpretation for posters, please contact us individually at mpal
mpi.nl.
Registration for the
workshop is free, but mandatory by October 15!

learning across diverse cultural contexts.
