<p class="MsoNormal">Abstract submission is now OPEN for the 3<sup>rd</sup> <a href="https://www.mpi.nl/events/many-paths-language-mpal-2023">
Many Paths to Language workshop</a>, which will take place at the Max Planck Institute in Nijmegen

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">This 3-day workshop focuses on meaningful differences in the way children acquire language. It will explore (a) multiple sources of variation in early language development, including: children’s
linguistic and cultural environments, their cognitive maturation, and the structural properties of the languages they are acquiring, alongside (b) the implications of this variation for the mechanisms that drive and support native language acquisition, given
the overall robustness of learning in the face of this variability.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Children show astonishing variation in the way they acquire their native language(s); each developmental milestone in both production and comprehension is marked by meaningful individual differences.
This 3-day workshop focuses on meaningful differences in the way children acquire language. It will explore (a) multiple sources of variation in early language development, including: children’s linguistic and cultural environments, their cognitive maturation,
and the structural properties of the languages they are acquiring, alongside (b) the implications of this variation for the mechanisms that drive and support native language acquisition, given the overall robustness of learning in the face of this variability.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
