Meeting Description: 

First International Workshop on Children’s Acquisition and Processing of Head-Final Languages (CAPHL)

November 5, 2014
Laboratory for Developmental Studies
Harvard University

Led by: Duygu Özge, Marie Curie IOF Post Doctoral Fellow, Harvard University 
& Professor Jesse Snedeker, Harvard University

We invite abstracts for a one-day workshop on Children’s Acquisition and Processing of Head-Final Languages’, which will be held on November 5, 2014 at Harvard University.

Roughly half of the world’s languages have SOV order. In these languages, the verb generally appears clause-finally, case marking is common, and word order is flexible. These features present unique challenges for theories of language acquisition and online language processing. The aim of this workshop is to foster communication among researchers who study children’s acquisition and processing of head-final languages and structures. 

Venue:

William James Hall 1550 at 33 Kirkland Street, 02138 Cambridge, MA-USA 

Program:

It is our pleasure to share the program of our upcoming workshop on children's acquisition and processing of head-final languages:
http://www.wjh.harvard.edu/~dozge/caphl/img/CAPHL2014Program.pdf

We have limited space for audience so if you plan to attend, please email us at caphl.workshop at gmail.com

For those who are not able to come to Cambridge, some of the talks will be video recorded and put on YouTube after the workshop. You may find updates on the workshop website after the workshop or on our twitter account at @caphl_workshop

Please check the website for more information about the venue and the abstracts.
