We invite submissions on first and second language acquisition, bilingual acquisition, language pathology, the acquisition of sign language, and brain imaging research for acquisition and pathology. Besides the main session, two workshops will be held on 'Subordination in language development' (organised by Uli Sauerland and Bart Hollebrandse) and 'Phonological development: the emergence of segments and the syllable' (organised by Pilar Prieto).
