Call for Papers

This year's CLS is hosted by the School of Education, Communication & Language Sciences at Newcastle University and is being organised by Thomas Klee and Carolyn Letts. This interdisciplinary conference was first held in 1977 and brings together researchers from all over the world.

Proposals are invited for papers and posters on issues related to child language acquisition and disorders. Submission deadline is 31 January 2003.

Newcastle upon Tyne is a coastal city in the North East of England with excellent air, rail and road connections (3 hours from London and 1.5 hours from Edinburgh by train). Newcastle and neighbouring Gateshead are currently bidding to be named European Capital of Culture in 2008 and are within easy reach of the Northumbrian countryside, County Durham and North Yorkshire as well as the Scottish Borders.

The CLS will be held on the university campus at the Bedson Teaching Centre. Accommodation is available at the new Jurys Inn near Central Station and the Centre for Life in the city centre (10 mins by Metro from the conference venue) and on campus at Castle Leazes Halls of Residence. Accommodation may be booked through our website below.

The conference dinner will be held at St James' Park - the home of Newcastle United Football Club. Having recently undergone a £42 million transformation, this is one of the most impressive venues in the North East and dominates the Tyneside skyline. The dinner will be held in the New Magpie Room, which has views over the pitch and stadium.
