Call for papers: workshop on the Acquisition of Quantification at UMass Amherst

[Magda Oiry]

Dear all,

We are pleased to announce a workshop on the acquisition of quantification, 
to be held at UMass Amherst, *Oct. 4-5 2013.*

Invited Speakers:

Martin Hackl (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Julien Musolino (Rutgers University)
William Philip (University of Utrecht)

The past two decades have seen detailed and wide-ranging investigations of 
quantification in child language. This work includes a substantial 
literature exploring the classic “quantifier-spreading” phenomenon (Roeper 
and DeVilliers 1993, Philip 1995, Crain et al. 1996, Drozd 2001, Drozd and 
Van Loosbroek 2006, Geurts 2003, Smits 2009), as well as studies of 
quantifier scope and quantifier raising (Lidz and Musolino 2002, Musolino 
and Lidz 2005, Syrett and Lidz 2010), and distributivity and collectivity 
in universal quantification (Brooks and Braine 1996, Brooks and Sekerina 
2006).

Independently, quantification has played a central role in developmental 
research on scalar implicature and the semantic-pragmatics interface 
(Noveck 2001, Papafragou and Musolino 2003, Huang and Snedeker 2009b). At 
the same time, important recent work has pursued the connection between 
quantification and early numerical cognition (Barner et al. 2009, Sullivan 
and Barner 2011, Brooks et al. 2011). Finally, a number of researchers have 
investigated aspects of quantification in L2 learners (DelliCarpini 2003, 
O’Grady 2006, Ionin et al. 2012).

This workshop aims to foster discussion and collaboration by bringing 
together researchers working on the acquisition of quantification from a 
variety perspectives and frameworks.

We invite abstracts for 20-minute talks and poster presentations on all 
aspects of quantification in first and second language acquisition, 
bilingualism, and language disorders. Abstracts should not exceed 2 pages, 
including data and references, and should be submitted online via the 
EasyAbs system (http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/Quantification).

Deadline for submission: July 1, 2013 
Notification of acceptance: Before August 15, 2013

Organizing committee: Luiz Amaral, Michael Clauss, Jeremy Hartman, Barbara 
Pearson, Magda Oiry, Tom Roeper.
