To mark the 30th Anniversary of the CLS, this year we have added a 
half-day (18 July) with two thematic sessions, while keeping the 
remaining two days (19-20 July) open to all avenues of research on 
child language development. The thematic sessions will be on topics 
related to the keynote papers. The exact topics of the thematic 
sessions will be decided on the basis of the abstracts we will receive.

To commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the conference, we will 
publish the proceedings of this year's CLS on a CD-ROM and on the 
web-site of the University of Reading.

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
