The CLS is an interdisciplinary conference 
attracting a diverse audience of among others 
psychologists, linguists and speech and language 
therapists, and provides a forum for research on 
first and second language acquisition in 
typically and atypically developing children. It 
was first held in 1977, so in 2007 it will be the 30th Anniversary of the CLS.

The University of Reading is one of the top 20 
most research-intensive universities in the UK, 
and has a long tradition of research in language 
development. The School of Psychology & Clinical 
Language Science was established in 2005 when the 
Clinical Linguistics section moved to the School 
of Psychology. The School is set on one of the 
most beautiful campuses in the UK, with 320 acres 
of landscaped grounds surrounded by green open spaces, lakes and wildlife.

Reading is the county town of the Royal County of 
Berkshire and is located in the heart of the 
beautiful Thames Valley some 50 kilometres west 
of London. The city is easily accessible by air 
(30 minutes to Heathrow airport via frequent bus 
service to Reading station, and 75 minutes to 
Gatwick airport through a direct rail connection) 
and by rail (25 minutes from London Paddington). 
The M4 motorway provides ready access to London, 
Wales and the South West and there is an express 
coach service to London which also stops outside 
the main gate of the University.

Proposals are invited for papers and posters on 
any topic related to child language development and disorders.

Submission deadline is 1 March 2007
