Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition 

Call Deadline: 01-Jul-2020 

Meeting Description:

We happily announce:
- The MPaL 2020 abstract submission deadline is now extended until July 1.
- The workshop will take place fully online (talks, posters, and more) on Oct
23–25 as scheduled.

Further information on the workshop is copied below.

This 3-day workshop will focus on meaningful differences in the way children
acquire language. We will explore (a) multiple sources of variation in early
language development, including: children’s linguistic and cultural
environments, their cognitive maturation, and the structural properties of the
languages they are learning, alongside (b) the implications of this variation
for the mechanisms that drive and support early language development, given
the overall robustness of learning in the face of this variability. 

We invite abstracts covering any issue relating to variation in early language
development. We especially encourage submissions focused on understudied
populations, cross-linguistic and/or cross-cultural comparisons, and
non-normative language development.   

Keynote speakers:
Gabriella Vigliocco – University College London
Andrea Ravignani – MPI for Psycholinguistics 
David Barner – University of California, San Diego
