Overview

This edited volume contains a representative sample of papers presented at the 7th meeting of the Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition - North America (GALANA-7) conference. The book features three streams of research (Variation in Input, First Language Acquisition, and Second Language Acquisition), each of which investigates the nature of language acquisition from the generative perspective.

Unique Features

A unique feature of the GALANA-7 conference, and of this volume, is the bringing together of research on generative language acquisition and research on the role that cross-dialectal input variation plays in acquisition.

Intended Audience

This volume should be of interest to scholars and students of first language acquisition, second language acquisition, and input variation.
