DESCRIPTION:Within the first year of life\, infants demonstrat
 e the ability to communicate with others using ges
 ture and vocalisations. Soon after they break into
  conventional language and begin to use words. Hav
 ing done so they begin to engage in proto-conversa
 tions that others naturally find interesting.  The
  preschool years then form a period of forming and
  testing out expectations about how language works
  as a tool for facilitating the conversations they
  wish to have. By drawing on longitudinal studies 
 of individual differences\, corpus-based experimen
 ts and a randomized controlled trial\, I will disc
 uss how children make these qualitative leaps forw
 ard in language development and why a social gradi
 ent in language ability emerges around 18 months.
