Meeting Description: 

Second International Workshop on Children’s Acquisition and Processing of
Head-Final Languages (CAPHL 2016)
21 May 2016
Humboldt University, Berlin

Led by: Dr. Duygu Ozge, Marie Curie Fellow, Harvard University & Middle East
Technical University & Prof. Pia Knoeferle, Humboldt University

Venue: Humboldt-University Berlin, Dorotheenstr. 24, Dekanatsraum, (3.246)

Almost half of the world's languages have SOV order.  These languages
generally locate the verbs at the end of their clauses, and they tend to be
rich in morphosyntax and flexible in word ordering. 

There is emerging data exploring how young children process head-final
languages, which present unique challenges for theories of language
acquisition, language processing, and for theories about the neural
organization of linguistic features. 

1st CAPHL was held at Harvard University
(http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~dozge/caphl/index.html), which initiated
communication among psycholinguists working on child language processing in
head-final languages. 

With this second workshop, we aim to foster further discussion and fruitful
exchange of ideas among researchers who study child processing of head-final
languages and structures.  We also hope that this workshop leads to future
collaborative projects and a special issue on Language Processing in
Head-Final Child Language.
