Language acquisition stands as the signature intellectual achievement of the human species. The scientific study of language acquisition relates patterns of first and second language acquisition to detailed hypotheses about developing grammatical representations, the mechanisms by which these representations are acquired, and the information processing mechanisms through which these representations are engaged in real time language use by first and second language learners. The 6th Generative Approaches to Language Acquisition -- North America conference, to be held February 19-21, 2015, will bring together researchers examining all aspects of first and second language acquisition. The conference will host a special session focusing on the computational mechanisms through which learners use the language they are exposed to to build a particular grammar. This special session will both introduce cutting edge computational methods to the broader developmental linguistics community and spur new links between empirical research on children's language development with explicit computational models of language learning. The special theme of the conference will encourage collaboration and further research in this area, extending the range of data that computational linguists see as relevant to modeling acquisition and highlighting the importance for developmental linguists of thinking about the role of input and the mechanisms that use it in shaping language acquisition.The core of the conference is a series of invited talks by six prominent researchers with relevant expertise. Together, the speakers address key issues in language learning spanning syntax, phonology, morphology, bilingualism and heritage language acquisition, and bring together a diverse range of theoretical and methodological approaches. In addition, the conference encourages broad participation. Four of the six invited speakers are women and the conference provides travel awards to graduate student presenters. The papers of the invited speakers will be published in Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics.

语言获取是人类物种的标志性知识成就。对语言获取的科学研究将第一语言获取的模式与有关发展语法表征的详细假设，获取这些表示的机制以及这些表示的信息处理机制，这些机制通过第一语言和第二语言学习者从事实时语言使用。 2015年2月19日至21日举行的第六种语言获取方法 - 北美会议将召集研究人员研究第一语言和第二语言的各个方面。该会议将举办一次特别会议，重点是学习者使用他们所接触的语言来构建特定语法的语言。这次特别会议都将向更广泛的发展语言学界引入尖端计算方法，并通过具有明确的语言学习计算模型对儿童语言发展的实证研究进行新的联系。会议的特殊主题将鼓励在这一领域的合作和进一步研究，扩展计算语言学家认为与对获取的建模相关的数据范围，并强调了思考投入的作用以及在塑造语言获取方面使用它的机制的重要性。会议的核心是一系列邀请的与相关研究员的邀请访问。演讲者一起解决了语言学习的关键问题，这些问题涵盖语法，语音学，形态学，双语和遗产语言获取，并汇集了各种各样的理论和方法论方法。此外，会议鼓励广泛参与。六位受邀演讲者中有四个是女性，该会议为研究生主持人提供了旅行奖。受邀演讲者的论文将在语言获取中发表：《发展语言学杂志》。
