***
The International Child Phonology Conference (ICPC) 2012 will take
place at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities, June 4-6, 2012.
The ICPC has met annually for over 30 years in the US and abroad. This
year it returns to the part of the US where it originated: the
Midwest.  ICPC has evolved into a forum for talks, posters, and
collegial discussions on all aspects of children’s speech-sound
development. Presentations from recent meetings have covered a broad
range of topics, including clinical topics, computational modeling,
the relationship between continuous phonetic variation and abstract
phonological knowledge, implications for phonological theory, typical
and atypical development in infants, toddlers and older children,
second-language issues, and both oral and signed languages.  This list
is by no means exclusive: we invite proposals for talks and posters
covering any aspect of children's speech-sound development.

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

An absolutely bare-bones skeleton of a conference Web site can be
found at http://www.tc.umn.edu/~munso005/ChildPhonology/.  It will be
updated and beautified as the days and week progress.  Please note
that this Web site links to the program from the 2011 ICPC, and
includes links to slides and posters from that conference.  A visit to
that part of the Web site should give potential attendees a sense of
the conference's flavor.

Abstracts should be submitted via the Easy Chair Web site,
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=icpc20120.  Authors 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.  Posters will be displayed in dedicated
poster sessions that do not overlap with oral presentations.  The
final format of the presentation will be decided on by the committee.
Abstracts should be 500 words long, with an additional page for
references, examples, Figures, tables, and tableaux, if needed.
Abstracts will be peer-reviewed anonymously and independently by three
members of the scientific committee.

The conference will be held at the McNamara Alumni Center
(http://www.mac-events.org/) on the University of Minnesota campus.
Blocks of rooms will be reserved at three local hotels, one of which
is mere parking lot's distance from McNamara, and one of which is in
the heart of Minneapolis's vibrant downtown.  The conference dinner
will be a Thai food buffet held on the 35th floor of a residential
building in downtown Minneapolis, featuring the best urban views
(heck, the ONLY true urban views) that the upper Midwest has to offer.
 ICPC will be held immediately prior to two other conferences in the
Upper Midwest.  The following weekend, the International Society on
Infant Studies will host its biennial conference in Minneapolis, and
the Symposium for Research on Child Language Disorders will be held in
Madison, Wisconsin, a mere four-hour drive or bus ride from
Minneapolis.  Individuals traveling long distances can maximize their
trips by attending two conferences.  Questions about ICPC 2012 should
be directed to Benjamin Munson at munso005 at umn.edu
