Title: Variation in early language acquisition: What we can learn from bilingual infants
Abstract: Language acquisition is one of the crowning achievements of early development, as children begin to understand, say/sign, and combine words within the first few years of life. Yet, despite these universal developmental patterns, language acquisition also varies significantly from child to child. While there is clear evidence that this variation is due both to child-external (i.e., language environment) and child-internal (i.e., maturation/development) factors, it is typically difficult to disentangle these factors as children age and gain language experience concurrently. Studying bilingual infants provides a way to disentangle experience from maturation, as young bilinguals hear their two languages in different proportions, yet acquire each language with the same developing brain. This talk will showcase empirical studies of bilingual infants and toddlers, and will discuss 1) theoretical implications for our understanding of language acquisition, and 2) practical implications for parents, educators, health care professionals, and policymakers wishing to support the large proportion of children worldwide who grow up bilingual

______
Data Matters is intended to stimulate conversations and collaboration by bringing multiple perspectives to challenging data-driven problems and talks are structured to be more of an interactive experience than traditional academic seminars. Data Matters includes scholars with backgrounds in the physical, biological, computational, and social sciences who share their perspectives on why data matters.
Held on select Tuesdays at 3:00pm at the Data Science Institute.Light refreshments will be provided.
