One of the many goals of this meeting was to bring together researchers who work on the acquisition of various languages. For this reason, research reported in this special issue includes experimental data from German, Japanese, Basque, Spanish, Italian, French, British, English, and American English infants. By investigating various abilities of infants from all these linguistic backgrounds, the articles published within this volume cover the research fields of speech perception development, cognitive development, and the development of word comprehension and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMonika Molnar\u003c\/strong\u003e received her PhD from the School of Communication Sciences and Disorders within the Faculty of Medicine at McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
