About BUCLD

The Boston University Conference on Language Development (BUCLD) was
started in 1976 by students in the Applied Psycholinguistics Program. Last
year the 28th annual BUCLD took place October 31 - November 2, 2003. The
Conference, which has become one of the best known conferences on
language development in the world, is now run by students in the Program in
Applied Linguistics, under the guidance of a faculty adviser.

The Conference involves year-round planning, draws over 500 people from
all over the U.S. and around the world, and includes about 90 papers in such
areas as theoretical approaches to language acquisition, cross-cultural
language development, second language development, language disorders,
and literacy development.

Registration materials will be available in August, 2004. For more information,
