ANNOUNCING A CONFERENCE : LANGUAGE AND LANGUAGE ACQUISITION 4
=============================================================
August 22 to August 27, 1988
Mons University, Belgium
CALL FOR PAPERS
and
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT
Dear colleague,
I have the pleasure to invite you to the fourth
conference we organize on Language and Language Acquisition
at the University of Mons, Belgium.
The specific theme of this conference will be :
"LANGUAGE DEVELOPMENT AND COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT"
The aim of this meeting is to further an interdiscipli-
nary and international collaboration among researchers connec-
ted one way or the other with the field of communication and
subjacent logic : this includes as well studies concerning
normal children as handicapped subjects.
Five topics have been chosen : Mathematics, Philosophy,
Logic and Computer Sciences, Psycholinguistics, Psychology and
Medical Sciences. During the conference, each morning will be
devoted to two 45-minutes lectures on one of these domains, and
to a wide discussion concerning all the papers already presen-
ted. The aftrnoon will be devoted to short presentations by
panelists and to further discussions concerning the panel and
everything that preceded it.
There will be no parallel sessions and, as the organi-
zers want to favour as much as possible discussions between the
participants, it has been decided to reduce the number of par-
ticipants to 70. The selection procedure will be supervised by
an international committee.
Further informations and registration forms can be
obtained by old fashioned mail or by E-mail from:
