CALL FOR PAPERS

The University of Leiden Centre for Linguistics (ULCL) will host a
three-day conference on phonological acquisition (L1, L2 and
bilingual) between 16 and 18 September 2004. The topic of the
conference is �Euro~developmental paths�Euro(tm). We are interested in
intra- and inter-child variation, and specifically we wish to shed
light on the different strategies that different children (or one and
the same child) follow in the acquisition of its native language or of
a second language. Prof. Dr. M.M. Vihman (University of Wales, Bangor)
has kindly accepted to be our invited speaker.

Abstracts are invited for 20-minute talks (which will be followed by
10 minutes of discussion). Abstracts may not exceed two pages,
including data, figures, and references (12 pt font, 1 inch margins
all round). The deadline for submission is April 8, 2004. Abstract
submission by e-mail to one of the organizers is preferred (PDF

program will be announced before the end of June. Selected papers of
the conference will be published.
