Meeting Description: 

The 26th annual meeting of Formal Approaches to Slavic Linguistics (FASL-26)
will take place at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on May
19-21, 2017. It will feature a special session on the Acquisition and
Processing of Slavic Languages.

The invited speakers for the main session are Stephanie Harves (New York
University) and Darya Kavitskaya (UC Berkeley).

FASL-26 will feature a special session on the Acquisition and Processing of
Slavic languages. Research in linguistics is increasingly moving towards
integrating theoretical, psycholinguistic and acquisition approaches. The
question of whether processing and grammar are served by the same or different
mechanisms is being addressed by both theoretical linguists and
psycholinguists. At the same time, research in language acquisition is
expanding to encompass both bilingual and monolingual development, and both
atypical and typical language acquisition. The specific properties of Slavic
languages, including rich inflectional paradigms and the relationship between
word order and information structure, make them particularly interesting to
study from the perspectives of both processing and acquisition. For the
special session, abstracts are invited on theoretically informed studies that
address the processing and/or acquisition (first or second, monolingual or
bilingual, etc.) of one or more Slavic languages, and/or compare processing or
acquisition of Slavic and non-Slavic languages.

The invited speakers for the special session on Acquisition and Processing of
Slavic languages are Alexandra Perovic (University College London), Irina
Sekerina (CUNY - College of Staten Island) and Natalia Slioussar (Higher
School of Economics, Moscow).
