Developing Mind Series - The Developing Lexicon: Representations and Processing
Macquarie University, Sydney, 26-27 April 2017
Overview
The lexicon forms the backbone for successful language development. However, despite its importance, little is known about how learners store and process phonological, morphological, syntactic and semantic aspects of lexical representations, and the role this plays in both language processing and speech planning.
This workshop brings together researchers working on the lexicon in language acquisition and development - using various methodologies and paradigms - to gain a better understanding of the architecture of the mental lexicon and its development. Submissions are welcome on all research exploring this issue in monolingual and multilingual children and adults, and in both typically developing and special populations (such as those with hearing impairments and language delays). The workshop will include keynote addresses and invited talks by experts in the fields of linguistics, computational modelling, cognitive science, and developmental psychology.
Invited speakers
- Professor Paul Boersma (University of Amsterdam, Netherlands)
- Professor Paula Fikkert (Radboud University Nijmegen, Netherlands)
- Professor Bob McMurray (University of Iowa, USA)
