Meeting Description:

Sociolinguistic Perspectives on Age is hosted by New York University.
This conference will include two days of talks by invited speakers
focusing on the impact of speaker's age on language.

Recent advances in the study of the impact of speaker's age on
language raise new questions.  It's time to take stock.

How does a speaker's age affect her grammar?
Is adolescents' language really that different from the language of
other people?
How important is age grading in sociolinguistic explanation?
When do speakers stop acquiring their vernacular?
What is the impact of aging on a speaker's grammar?

These are some of the kinds of questions this conference will address.
Ten speakers have been invited whose work covers the youngest
speakers, the oldest speakers, and cohorts in between.
