Clark (Department of Linguistics, Stanford University & MPI for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen) Date: Wednesday, April 10, 2013, 5 PM Location: Cognitive Development Center, Hattyú u. 14, 3rd floor Title: Children Learn Language in Interaction Abstract: I argue that interaction is essential to children both for learning a first language and for learning how to use it. Interaction allows children to discover the forms to use, and gives them feedback on those forms for conveying particular meanings, without disrupting the ongoing exchange. I will give evidence for the role of interaction in the process of acquisition from (a) parental reformulations, (b) offers of new words, and (c) offers of information about new word meanings .
