The Stirling Psychology of Language Conference was held in the
University of Stirling, 21-26 June 1976. 250 people attended the
conference and 70 papers were presented. The two volumes of Pro
ceedings present a selection of papers from the conference reflect
ing as far as possible the range of topics that were discussed.
Volume 1 is concerned exclusively with language acquisition. In
recent years the 'centre of gravity' of acquisition research has
shifted from syntactic and phonological description to the amor
phous domains of semantics and pragmatics. This shift is reflected
in the two large sections (II and III) devoted to these aspects of
language development. In addition the volume contains three smaller
sections dealing with general problems of acquisition theory,
syntax and the development of comprehension, and applied
developmental psycholinguistics. Volume 2 contains a substantial
section of papers which stress the formal aspects of
psycholinguistics: these include papers in which artificial
intelligence figures prominently, papers which apply re cent
developments in syntax and semantics to psycholinguistic prob lems,
and papers that are broadly critical of the use psychologists have
made of linguistic theories. Volume 2 also contains a section
dealing with the experimental study of sentence comprehension and
production, and there is a final section concerned with phonology
and its development."
