語言學習與發展(LL&D)是研究語言學習(包括嬰兒期、兒童期和整個生命周期的語言學習)的學者和實踐者之間廣泛互動的載體;語言在典型和非典型人群中，在母語和第二語言學習中。LL&D歡迎尋求不同方法來理解語言習得的所有方面的學者，包括生物、社會和跨文化影響，并使用實驗、觀察、人種志、比較、神經科學和正式的調查方法。

Language Learning and Development (LL&D) serves as a vehicle for interaction among the broad community of scholars and practitioners who investigate language learning, including language learning in infancy, childhood, and across the lifespan; language in both typical and atypical populations and in both native- and second-language learning. LL&D welcomes scholars who pursue diverse approaches to understanding all aspects of language acquisition, including biological, social, and cross-cultural influences, and who employ experimental, observational, ethnographic, comparative, neuroscientific, and formal methods of investigation.
