Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition 

Meeting Description: 

Language acquisition in typically developing children and children with a
language delay or specific language impairment.

The general goal of the colloquium is to promote research on early language
acquisition using an interdisciplinary approach combining linguistics,
psycholinguistics, and neuroscience. This theme will be tackled at the
phonological, lexical, semantic and syntactic levels. More specifically, the
colloquium will cover the following topics:

- Theoretical perspectives in language acquisition
- Genetic/environmental contributions to language acquisition
- Brain structure and functions involved in language processing in infants and
children
- Language delays and impairments

A secondary aim of the colloquium is to promote the careers of junior scientists
(students/graduate students/post-docs/fellows) working in the subject area by
providing them with the opportunity to present their work as a short talk or
poster alongside established researchers. A limited number of scholarships are
available.
