Dear Edy,
Thanks for sending this announcement. I would have loved to submit
an abstract for a talk presenting new work on how variation in early
language processing relates to lexical development, and is also
strongly linked to variability in early language experience (presented
in the keynote address at BUCLD last year). As you're probably aware,
there is increasing interest these days in individual differences in
real-time processing skill in adults in relation to variability in
language proficiency, and it's quite likely that the differences we
observe at 18 months are predictive of those later outcomes. FYI I'm
attaching a chapter for the book Eve Clark and Inbal Arnon are editing
on variation, as well as an in-press paper that connects this research
to recent findings in adult psycholinguistics and communicative
disorders.
Best wishes,
Anne
