Boston University Conference on Language Development 2017-2021

波士顿大学语言发展会议（BUCLD）将于2017年至2021年每年11月在波士顿大学举行。BUCLD是一个国际公认的语言习得和发展研究人员的会议，包括第一和第二语言习得，语言障碍，双语和扫盲发展。今年是第四十二届，北京建筑学院为学术成果的传播、合作的发起和发展以及专业网络提供了一个主要的场所，从而促进了科学的进步。会议包括通过同行评审选出的约190份报告，以及受邀的主题演讲和全体演讲，两个关于当前感兴趣主题的专题讨论会，一个研究资助研讨会，一个为学生和博士后学者举办的专业化研讨会，以及一个出版商展览。与会者有来自世界各地的500多名研究人员，从本科生到高级教师。会议期间提供完整的美国手语口译报道，会议记录在会议结束后很快出版。自1976年以来，波士顿大学的教师和学生组织和运行会议；Charles Chang博士、Sudha **am博士和Paul Hagstrom博士领导了2017年会议的组织者团队。来自美国国家科学基金会的资金将通过资助学生的旅行，包括未被充分代表的少数民族的旅行，以及会议的学生组织者，语言学和相关领域的研究生的时间，来支持教育和增强BUCLD的可及性，多样性和包容性。对学生旅行的支持将使学生的贡献（通常是评分最高的摘要提交）能够在会议上展示，而不会遇到不必要的困难，并将在友好和互动的环境中增加学生接触该领域的顶级研究和研究人员的机会。此外，对学生组织者的支持将使北京建筑学院在培养学生成为未来的专业人士（包括本科生和女性）方面继续发挥重要作用。

The Boston University Conference on Language Development (BUCLD) will be held at Boston University each November from 2017 through 2021. BUCLD is an internationally recognized meeting of researchers in language acquisition and development, including first and second language acquisition, language disorders, bilingualism, and literacy development. Now in its forty-second year, BUCLD promotes the progress of science by providing a major venue for dissemination of scholarly findings, for initiation and development of collaborations, and for professional networking. The conference consists of approximately 190 presentations selected through peer review, as well as invited keynote and plenary speakers, two symposia on topics of current interest, a research funding workshop, a professionalization workshop for students and postdoctoral scholars, and a publisher exhibit. Attendees number over 500 researchers from around the world, from undergraduates up through senior faculty. Full ASL interpreting coverage is provided throughout the conference, and conference proceedings are published soon after the conference. Since 1976, the faculty and students of Boston University have organized and run the conference; Dr. Charles Chang, Dr. Sudha Arunachalam, and Dr. Paul Hagstrom lead the team of organizers for the 2017 conference. Funding from the National Science Foundation will support education and enhance accessibility, diversity, and inclusion at BUCLD by subsidizing student travel, including that of underrepresented minorities, and the time of the student organizers of the conference, graduate students in Linguistics and allied fields. Support for student travel will allow student contributions, regularly among the highest-rated abstract submissions, to be presented at the conference without undue hardship and will increase the exposure of students to the top research and researchers in the field in a friendly and interactive environment. Furthermore, support for student organizers will allow BUCLD to continue to play an important role in training students as future professionals, including undergraduates and women.
