[Tamar Keren-Portnoy]

Extended deadline for abstract submission to the International Child 
Phonology Conference (ICPC) 2011

June 16-17, 2011 (Pre-conference workshop: June 15)

Deadline for abstracts: January 15, 2011

The International Child Phonology Conference (ICPC) 2011 will take place at 
the University of York, England, June 16-17, preceded by a one-day workshop 
on cross-linguistic studies of phonetic and/or phonological development, 
June 15.

The ICPC has met annually for about 30 years, originally in the Midwestern 
American states, as a forum for talks and discussion on any aspect of 
children's phonological development. Presentations deal with a broad range 
of topics, covering theoretical and applied concerns, phonetics and 
phonology, typical and atypical development, infants, toddlers and older 
children, and oral and signed language.

Main conference We invite proposals for papers and posters covering any 
aspect of child phonetics and/or phonology.

Pre-conference workshop on cross-linguistic projects on phonetic and/or 
phonological development We invite submissions for oral presentations 
reporting on goals, methods and findings of collaborative cross-linguistic 
projects on phonetic and/or phonological development. We welcome either one 
or two talks per project; where two talks (and speakers) are planned, one 
should focus on the theoretical or practical motivation for the project and 
the other on presenting comparative data. No more than two abstracts should 
be submitted from any one project. Talks will be 30-45 minutes long, 
depending on the number of submissions. Talks which cannot be fitted into 
the workshop due to time limitations will be considered for the main 
conference.

Following the child phonology conference tradition, we will have no invited 
speakers.

Abstracts will be peer-reviewed anonymously by members of the organizing 
committee.

Abstracts for both the main conference and the workshop (up to 300 words 
per presentation) should be submitted directly to the conference website. 
Authors submitting to the main conference should indicate whether they 
prefer to present an oral paper or a poster. Oral presentations will be 
allocated a 30-minute slot each, to include a 5-10 minute discussion. The 
final format of the presentation will be decided on by the committee.
