The Annual Boston University Conference on Language Development (BUCLD 51) promises to be an engaging and insightful event focusing on the crucial topic of language acquisition in children. For this inaugural year, the conference has introduced a special topic selected by an invited plenary speaker, who also acts as a visiting faculty advisor on the organizing committee. This year's theme revolves around the multifaceted aspects of how children acquire language, encompassing phonology, morphology, syntax, variation, and their interfaces, inviting contributions from any theoretical perspective. The conference encourages submissions that delve into how children acquire and represent linguistic structures, making it an inclusive platform for researchers and educators alike to share their findings and insights.
The event will feature esteemed speakers, including Prof. Kathryn Schuler and Prof. Jesse Snedeker, both of whom are recognized figures in the field of language development. Their contributions are expected to enrich the discussions and presentations throughout the conference. BUCLD aims to attract a diverse audience, including teachers and professors from across the USA, fostering a collaborative environment for sharing knowledge and advancing the understanding of language development in children. Participants are encouraged to submit topic-related abstracts and symposia, adhering to the suggested format and style guide available on the conference website. The conference also aligns with the REIL guidelines established by the LSA Committee on Gender Equity in Linguistics, emphasizing inclusivity and equitable representation in the field.
