<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">Dear Edy,<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div>Best wishes,</div><div><br></div><div>Anne</div><div><br></div><div></div></body></html>
