We're happy to announce the third talk for today by Merle Weicker. @merle_weicker will talk to us about "The construal of telicity: Experimental evidence from adjectival resultatives in German". #WONDo22

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

@austindcurtin Do you have any suggestions how to measure input quality? Quantity related measures were collected via the LITMUS Parental Bilingual Questionnaire.

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

What predicts comprehension of temporal conjunctions in bilingual children? Age of onset, length of exposure, or something else? These questions are part of the talk by Christos Makrodimitris, Petra Schulz & Ianthi Tsimpli at #BUCLD47.

Plenary talk by Petra Schulz on the question "Which linguistic phenomena are difficult and for whom?" at the workshop "Advanced Language Acquisition" at the University of Oldenburg.

It takes a lot to plan a conference, but #gala15ffm would not have been the success it was without the enthusiastic participation of all its audience members. Thank you all for your rapt attention, your lively discussions, and your contributions to #languageacquisition research

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Plenary speaker @jacopo_romoli gave a thought-provoking presentation on the semantics of free choice last week at #gala15ffm. Looking forward to seeing the continuation of his work and its implications for acquisition theory!

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Does anyone else feel like #gala15ffm was over too soon? 😭 Here’s a throwback to our second poster session last week for those who empathize 💕 #ThrowbackThursday #languageacquistion

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Catching up with old friends and colleagues was one of our favorite things about #gala15ffm. Who did you most enjoy seeing? 👀 What kind of discussions did you have?

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Plenary speaker Cristina Flores dazzled us all with findings from several studies on the longevity of verb placement constraints in various German-speaking populations at #gala15ffm. Thank you all for your helpful questions and comments!

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

If I were you, I’d be glad we got the chance to see @ACournane and Ioana Grosu’s poster on event mutability and counterfactuals last week at #gala15ffm

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

We loved to see this blue square poster on Friday at #gala15ffm, with findings from Lydia Grohe’s PhD research on adjective ordering preferences.

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Did you know that deaf🧏 children with cochlear implants or hearing aids may not perceive (and thus produce) certain German tense markers due to the differing frequencies of /s/, /t/, and /n/? Martina Penke shared her team’s findings at our second poster session of #gala15ffm.

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

We took the opportunity after closing remarks to present the Best Student Presentation awards and to thank our two fearless leaders Petra Schulz and Esther Rinke for their tireless efforts organizing #GALA15FFM. None of this would have been possible without your dedication ❤️

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

That’s a wrap on #gala15ffm! Thank you to all the participants for such a great three days. See you in Lisbon for GALA16!

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

@FriedmannNaama Lovely to see the way that different projects build on each other at GALA 😊

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Age is not necessarily a good predictor of language abilities; however, the progression through stages is quite uniform! @FriedmannNaama, Adriana Belletti and Luigi Rizzi have crafted a convincing explanation of these findings based on the cartographic framework.

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Kangzheng Gao (IG 411) and Miguel Meira & Elaine Grolla (IG 311) are currently presenting for our last parallel session of #gala15ffm

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Babies can’t climb trees… or can they? 🤔 In the case of syntactic trees, the answer is yes! Find out how in our fourth and final plenary talk by @FriedmannNaama, today at 11:30!

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Rowena Garcia and Natalie Boll-Avetisyan shared corpus findings regarding the type and token frequency of CCV clusters in adult- vs. infant-directed speech in Russian and German. Pretty striking results!

[DaZ.Lab @daz_lab]

Evan Zysman & William Snyder will be presenting some work on ellipsis, then Caterina Tasinato & Emanuela Sanfelici will too. Tune in for more in IG 411 at 9:30 AM! #gala15ffm
