Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition 

Call Deadline: 15-Apr-2016 

Meeting Description:

The workshop aims at bringing together researchers interested in the
acquisition of information structure in children, including all its syntactic,
phonological and pragmatic aspects. The workshop will be hosted within the
Romance Turn 8, and a special preference will be given to papers focused on
Romance Languages. However, in a perspective of a cross-linguistic comparison,
contributions from languages outside the Romance family are also allowed. 

The following is a non-exhaustive list of relevant topics:

- Early Topic and focus marking
- First uses of non-canonical word-orders
- Use of suprasegmental phonology: ways to encode new/given information,
contrasts, salient alternatives.
- Development of discourse-pragmatics: establishing and managing the Common
Ground, retrieval of the Question-Under-Discussion, Question-Answer
congruence.

Abstracts must be at most one page long on an A4 with one-inch margins and

references. An optional second page may include data and references.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and 
as such can receive donations through the eLinguistics Foundation, 
which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal 
Tax number is 45-4211155. These donations can be offset against 
your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). 
For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial 
advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that 
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. 
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department 
and sending us a form that the eLinguistics Foundation fills in and 
returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative 
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if 
your company operates such a program.

Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
