This 3-day workshop focuses on meaningful differences in the way children acquire language. It will explore (a) multiple sources of variation in early language development, including: children’s linguistic and cultural environments, their cognitive maturation, and the structural properties of the languages they are acquiring, alongside (b) the implications of this variation for the mechanisms that drive and support native language acquisition, given the overall robustness of learning in the face of this variability.
As soon as we have invited speakers confirmed, they will be published here.
Abstract submission will open in early February and will close at midnight (anywhere in the world) on June 2, 2023. Authors will be notified of presentation decisions before August 1, 2023.
The workshop will take place on October 25th–27th, 2023, at the Max Planck Institute in Nijmegen, The Netherlands.
Registration will open end of August 2023. Please keep an eye on our website!
