The 20th Anniversary of LAWNE (Language Acquisition Workshop of New England), our local language acquisition workshop involving UMass, UConn, Smith, and MIT, will be held at UMass on Saturday, November 18th.
This semester, we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of our workshop by having a talk series led by faculty members of the participating schools. Talks will be about open questions/areas for research in the field of acquisition with the focus of what has been done (to celebrate our 20th anniversary) and what still needs to be done (for the next 20 years). A full schedule can be found at the end of this post.
- Faculty presenters:
- UMass – Tom Roeper & Magda Oiry
- UConn – Diane Lillo-Martin, William Snyder, & Letty Naigles
- Smith – Jill de Villiers
- MIT – Martin Hackl
In addition to special talks, there will be faculty/student presentations on their ongoing work in acquisition during lunch and dinner.
Coffee and breakfast will be served from 9:30am, and the first talk will start from 10:00am. lunch, and dinner will also be provided through funding from LARC at UMass and the UConn department.
