Meeting Description:

This workshop aims to explore the role of interactions between
morphosyntax and other modules of language or cognition in language
development and language microvariation. Why are some aspects of
grammar learned early, and others late? Why is the acquisition of
certain properties delayed in sequential bilingualism? (Schulz & Grimm
2019) Why do languages have properties that are more likely than
others to vary across time and space?  Much explored as an answer to
these questions are frequencies and distributional properties of the
relevant forms that vary within and across languages and serve as
input to children (Legate & Yang, 2007).  Less explored however is the
role of the interaction between domains in development. We know that
some aspects of the morphosyntax depend on prerequisite knowledge in
other aspects of the linguistic system (Pérez-Leroux et al, 2012,
Unsworth, 2014) and/or other domains of cognition (Johnston 1985,
Pérez-Leroux 1998) and that we can use morphology to learn syntax and
semantics (Barbir et al 2023, among many others). We also know from
recent work that there are reflexes of the interactions between
phonetics and morphosyntactic acquisition in stable environments
Davies and Demuth 2023) and also contact environments (Colantoni et al
2020) but much is still left to be explored.

The workshop aims to explore the following questions:
•       What kind of modular interactions define grammatical
development and grammatical microvariation?
•       What evidence is available for intra-linguistic and
inter-linguistic as well as inter-domain interactions concerning
acquisition and variation in morphosyntax?
•       What methodological, statistical and modelling tools are
available to assess domain interaction in child language acquisition?

We invite submissions of abstracts on the topics of the workshop.
Talks will be 30 minutes followed by 15 minutes of discussion.
Abstracts should be  500-word with an additional page for examples,
figures and references and should be submitted to
TiminginAcquisitionWorkshop at gmail.com
Important Dates:

    Abstract submission deadline: February 26, 2024
    Notification of Acceptance: March 8, 2024
    Workshop: April 18-19
