The first is that \npreschoolers are sophisticated language users and can\n therefore be tested on a range of complex linguistic phenomena of \ninterest to linguists and psycholinguists. The second is that in spite \nof their linguistic savvy, preschoolers have often been found to differ \nsystematically from adults in their linguistic\n behavior. Over the past several decades, these observations have led to\n the emergence of a dominant framework to study language acquisition \nduring the preschool period, accompanied by a wealth of empirical \nfindings. Its historical significance and usefulness\n notwithstanding, there are strong signs today that this framework needs\n to be fundamentally revised. In this presentation, I will introduce the\n standard framework, showcase some of its main applications, and discuss\n its limitations and the need for a new paradigm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker:&nbsp;Julien Musolino (Rutgers University) Title:&nbsp;Studying Language Acquisition during the Preschool years: Do we need a new paradigm?
