In this seminar, we will focus on language acquisition in children with typical and atypical development, both monolingual and bilingual. We will explore various hypotheses and theories that have been formulated to account for linguistic development, with an emphasis on those that have been applied to explain the growth of grammar (e.g., The Critical Period, Universal Grammar, Modularity, Relativized Minimality, Truncation, Cartography...). We will also investigate how linguistic development relates to extra-linguistic domains, as well as the potential clinical and societal impacts of these findings.
All materials for the seminar (PPT presentations and scientific articles) will be provided on Moodle during the course of the semester.
