Sociolinguistic Perspectives on
AGE

November 12-13, 2004

Recent advances in the study of the impact of speaker's age on language
raise new questions.  It's time to take stock.

-	How does a speaker's age affect her grammar?
-	Is adolescents' language really that different from the language of other
people?
-	How important is age grading in sociolinguistic explanation?
-	When do speakers stop acquiring their vernacular?
-	What is the impact of aging on a speaker's grammar?

These are some of the kinds of questions this conference will address.  Ten
speakers have been invited whose work covers the youngest speakers, the
oldest speakers, and cohorts in between.
