Workshop on Prosodic Development 
Short Title: WPD 

Date: 16-Apr-2010 - 16-Apr-2010 
Location: Barcelona, Spain 
Contact: Pilar Prieto 
Contact Email: pilar.prieto at upf.edu 
Meeting URL: http://prosodia.upf.edu/activitats/prosodicdevelopment/home/ 

Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition; Phonology 

Meeting Description: 

The main goal of this one-day workshop is to discuss different aspects of the
children's prosodic development in different languages. Discussions will address
specific questions regarding the influence of language-specific distributional
and frequency properties on language development and also the influence of
general production and perception constraints. One of the goals will be to try
to bridge the gap between perception and production studies in prosodic
development.

administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without 
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company 
operates such a program.
