Call for Papers:

Infancy plays an important role in language development. Recent years have
seen a rapid growth in the study of early language acquisition and of
interdisciplinary approaches to the investigation of young infants’ linguistic
abilities. The overarching goal of WILD is to tap into this momentum and to
bring together scientists with different perspectives as well as
methodological approaches investigating early language development. The topics
covered include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Development of speech perception and production
- Speech segmentation
- Word learning
- Early syntactic abilities/emergence of grammar
- Links between language development and the development of other cognitive
abilities
- Language and cognition in monolingual and bilingual infants
- Individual, cross-linguistic and cross-cultural variability
- Atypical language acquisition
- Novel techniques in infant language acquisition research
- Null results in well-designed and theoretically sound experiments: What
could they mean? (Posters only)
- Developmental trajectories in typical and atypical language acquisition

WILD provides sessions for talks and poster presentations. We invite abstract
submission by 7 December 2018.

Abstract guidelines:

- Length: 500 words maximum
- Optional: single page PDF file with additional plots or figures
- Abstract submission link: https://easychair.org/cfp/WILD2019
