The deadline is also somewhat flexible. Potential candidates interested in working on theoretical issues and/or clinical populations are both encouraged to apply. * Macquarie University*, *Department of Linguistics, Sydney, Australia* *5 PhD fellowships* *Project: Neural and behavioural evidence for children's learning of grammatical morphology* ** *Deadline for applications: 31st August 2014* The research is supervised by Katherine Demuth, ARC Laureate Fellow and CORE Professor in Linguistics and the Centre for Language Sciences (CLaS), where she is Director of the Child Language Lab (CLL) and a member of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders (CCD). The CLL is located in the Australian Hearing Hub with state-of the art EEG, MEG, infant speech perception, eye-tracking and language production research facilities. The group has extensive collaborative links with Audiology, Speech Pathology, the CCD, the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) and Hearing service providers, providing a dynamic, collaborative research environment. The work is supported by a new Australian Research Council grant designed to better understand the nature of children's phonological and morphological representations, and how these develop between the ages of 1-7. The project brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines (EEG/MEG, eye-tracking, ultrasound, etc.) with the common purpose of addressing issues related to speech perception and production in typically developing monolingual and bilingual children, as well as children with hearing loss and specific language impairment. *Candidates with a strong quantitative and experimental background are especially encouraged to apply.* For further information, contact _Katherine.Demuth at mq.edu.au_ Phone _+61 2 9850 8783_.

GALANA 6 will take place on the University of Maryland campus in College Park, MD on February 19­21, 2015. This conference aims to provide an outlet for cutting edge work on language acquisition, relating results in first and second language acquisition to detailed hypotheses about developing grammatical representations, the mechanisms by which these representations are acquired, and the information processing mechanisms through which these representations are engaged in real time language use by first and second language learners. Invited speakers include Liliana Sanchez (Rutgers) and Antonella Sorace (Edinburgh, Bilingualism Matters). For the general session, abstracts are invited for original, unpublished generative research in all acquisition subfields: L1 acquisition, L2 acquisition, bilingualism, creoles and pidgins, and language disorders. In addition to the general session, there will be a special session entitled “Learning in generative grammar: 50 years since the Evaluation Metric”. It has been 50 years since the publication of Aspects of the Theory of Syntax, which first introduced the idea of an evaluation metric as a way for learners to choose between alternative grammars that were compatible with their exposure. In the intervening years, conceptions of Universal Grammar (UG) have changed, and our understanding of children's grammatical knowledge at various ages has similarly advanced, but theories of how children use UG to interpret the data and how they use the data to select a grammar from UG have not been at center stage. In recent years, however, there has been a steady increase in work returning to this question, asking how different models (including rule learning, parameter setting, constraint ranking) of UG might help learners to use the input effectively to acquire a grammatical system. Invited speakers for this special session include Janet Fodor (CUNY Graduate Center), Lisa Pearl (UC Irvine), Bruce Tesar (Rutgers), and Charles Yang (UPenn). We also invite abstracts submissions for several additional talks that address the question of how a given grammatical formalism or set of grammatical principles helps to solve particular learnability problems in linguistics. Abstract submissions should be anonymous and should be uploaded as .pdf attachments to the EasyChair site (not typed into the text box). Submissions should fit on one page with 1” margins and 12­point font, with an extra page allowed for examples, tables, figures and references.

The deadline is also somewhat flexible. Potential candidates interested in working on theoretical issues and/or clinical populations are both encouraged to apply. * Macquarie University*, *Department of Linguistics, Sydney, Australia* *5 PhD fellowships* *Project: Neural and behavioural evidence for children's learning of grammatical morphology* ** *Deadline for applications: 31st August 2014* The research is supervised by Katherine Demuth, ARC Laureate Fellow and CORE Professor in Linguistics and the Centre for Language Sciences (CLaS), where she is Director of the Child Language Lab (CLL) and a member of the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders (CCD). The CLL is located in the Australian Hearing Hub with state-of the art EEG, MEG, infant speech perception, eye-tracking and language production research facilities. The group has extensive collaborative links with Audiology, Speech Pathology, the CCD, the National Acoustic Laboratories (NAL) and Hearing service providers, providing a dynamic, collaborative research environment. The work is supported by a new Australian Research Council grant designed to better understand the nature of children's phonological and morphological representations, and how these develop between the ages of 1-7. The project brings together researchers from a wide range of disciplines (EEG/MEG, eye-tracking, ultrasound, etc.) with the common purpose of addressing issues related to speech perception and production in typically developing monolingual and bilingual children, as well as children with hearing loss and specific language impairment. *Candidates with a strong quantitative and experimental background are especially encouraged to apply.* For further information, contact _Katherine.Demuth at mq.edu.au_ Phone _+61 2 9850 8783_.

North America (GALANA 6). GALANA 6 will take place on the University of Maryland campus in College Park, MD on February 19?21, 2015. This conference aims to provide an outlet for cutting edge work on language acquisition, relating results in first and second language acquisition to detailed hypotheses about developing grammatical representations, the mechanisms by which these representations are acquired, and the information processing mechanisms through which these representations are engaged in real time language use by first and second language learners. Invited speakers include Liliana Sanchez (Rutgers) and Antonella Sorace (Edinburgh, Bilingualism Matters). For the general session, abstracts are invited for original, unpublished generative research in all acquisition subfields: L1 acquisition, L2 acquisition, bilingualism, creoles and pidgins, and language disorders. In addition to the general session, there will be a special session entitled ?Learning in generative grammar: 50 years since the Evaluation Metric?. It has been 50 years since the publication of Aspects of the Theory of Syntax, which first introduced the idea of an evaluation metric as a way for learners to choose between alternative grammars that were compatible with their exposure. In the intervening years, conceptions of Universal Grammar (UG) have changed, and our understanding of children's grammatical knowledge at various ages has similarly advanced, but theories of how children use UG to interpret the data and how they use the data to select a grammar from UG have not been at center stage. In recent years, however, there has been a steady increase in work returning to this question, asking how different models (including rule learning, parameter setting, constraint ranking) of UG might help learners to use the input effectively to acquire a grammatical system. Invited speakers for this special session include Janet Fodor (CUNY Graduate Center), Lisa Pearl (UC Irvine), Bruce Tesar (Rutgers), and Charles Yang (UPenn). We also invite abstracts submissions for several additional talks that address the question of how a given grammatical formalism or set of grammatical principles helps to solve particular learnability problems in linguistics.
