<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:black">Proposals are invited for papers and posters related to

are no key themes for CLS 2013 as we want to encourage proposals
covering the full breadth of research relating to child language
learning and developmental language disorders. To illustrate,
proposals will be considered on children's first, simultaneous and/or
subsequent language development, in areas such as grammar, phonology,
lexicon, pragmatics, discourse, literacy, sign language, and
psycholinguistic processing.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:72.0pt"><span style="color:black">The Language Development and Disorders Research Group is a
</span>multidisciplinary team of researchers working to develop our
understanding of the factors, processes and mechanisms involved in
successful language learning and in speech and language disorders. The
research interests of the group focus on four main
themes: Typically developing children’s early language development and
the linguistic environment, specific language impairment (SLI), social
communication and pragmatics intervention research, phonological
representations and developmental speech disorders.</p>
