The SLD holds an annual symposium in conjunction with the Boston University Conference on Language Development, taking place on the Thursday afternoon before BUCLD.  Speakers at the SLD symposium are prominent researchers in child language who jointly offer new perspectives on a topic relevant to language learning.  Previous symposia have included topics like generalization in language learning (2007), fast-mapping and slow-mapping in word learning (2008), and infant cognitive development in language acquisition (2009). 

Everyone is encouraged to join the Society. As part of the annual Society dues you will receive the journal for FREE. Regular membership is $75 and student membership is $40.
