The 6th bi-annual Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition - North America will be held at the University of Maryland in College Park, MD on February 19-21, 2015.

GALANA provides an outlet for cutting edge work on language acquisition, relating results in first and second language acquisition to detailed hypotheses about developing grammatical representations, the mechanisms by which these representations are acquired, and the information processing mechanisms through which these representations are engaged in real time language use by first and second language learners.

For the General Session, abstracts are invited for original, unpublished generative research in all acquisition subfields: L1 acquisition, L2 acquisition, bilingualism, creoles and pidgins, and language disorders.

For the Special Session, the organizers invite abstract submissions for presentations that address the question of how a given grammatical formalism or set of grammatical principles helps to solve particular learnability problems in language acquisition.

DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION: October 6th, 2014 by 5pm EST
