BUCLD 16: Presentations about Child-Directed Speech

Below you can find a list of talks and poster presentations from the 16th Boston Conference on (BUCLD 16). In order to make it easier to find presentations with a strong focus on child-directed speech, I have highlighted them in the copy of the conference schedule below by adding a hashtag symbol that you can search for.

Workshop: The role of #Interaction in #LanguageDevelopment and Loss throughout the #Lifespan 26/04/2016

On the 26th of April, 2016, the University of Essex Research Centre for Language Development throughout the Lifespan (LaDeLi) is hosting a workshop on “The Role of Interaction in Language Development and Loss throughout the Lifespan”. You can see the programme below or download a pdf-version of the programme. The Workshop is preceded by a Lecture in our LaDeLi distinguished speaker series on the 25th of April, 2016. Prof. Annick De Houwer will talk about “The earlier, the better? A real life perspective on early bilingual development and its implications for later language learning”. You can see the flyer below or download a pdf-version of the flyer.

It would be great to see you at the lecture or workshop!
