The Developing Lexicon Workshop

On 26 and 27 April 2017, CLaS, together with the ARC Centre of Excellence in Cognition and its Disorders (CCD) and the ARC Laureate Fellowship held by Distinguished Professor Katherine Demuth, hosted the workshop "The Developing Lexicon: Representations and Processes". The "lexicon" is our mental dictionary of words, and the workshop presenters spoke about their research into its development. A topic of interest was the bilingual lexicon, with research revealing that representations from one language influence word recognition in the other language. International speakers included Professor Bob McMurray (University of Iowa, USA), Professor Paul Boersma (University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands) and Professor Paula Fikkert (Radboud University, The Netherlands).
