Submissions are invited for models of all levels of linguistic structure including lexicon, syntax, phonology, gesture, conversation, and semantics. Modeling may focus on monolingual or bilingual acquisition in both normal and language-delayed populations. Models may make use of any well-specified computational framework, including but not limited to connectionist modeling, Bayesian analysis, production systems, or logical analysis. Typically, models will use corpus data as input and observed patterns in the child's productions as output. However, other well-specified computational frameworks are also invited. <o:p></o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; "><o:p> </o:p></div></div><div><div style="margin-top: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-left: 0cm; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; ">The guest editor for this issue is Brian MacWhinney.
