Meeting Description:
Children's Books from 0 to 3: Where Literacy Begins
International Conference at the Picture Book Museum Burg Wissem, Troisdorf,
19-21 March 2009.
The purpose of this conference is to bring together scholars of different
countries and different fields, i.e. children's literature research, picture
book theory, art history, cognitive psychology, linguistics, book history, and
pedagogy, who pursue different areas of investigation in this field.
Call for Papers
In an every-increasing range of cultural settings, current research reveals the
variety and importance of the preschool experiences and knowledge that children
gain from early acquaintance with stories and books. The more we have come to
know about children's first approaches to literacy, the more we are confronted
by evidence of the historical, social, linguistic and psychological complexities
of the topic. Since almost none of the studies dealing with early literacy begin
in infancy, this conference focuses on the importance of books for young
children aged 0 to 3.
In order to adhere to a general outline for this conference, the papers might
deal with one or several of the following topics:
- Connection between visual literacy, language acquisition and literary literacy
- Acquisition of (early) concepts
- Introduction into the book rules
- Young children's developing understanding of forms, colors, schemata, and
artistic styles (dichotomy between natural style and abstract style)
- Impact of wordless picture books on the young child's increasing narrative
competence
- Historical development of books published for young children since the end of
the 19th century in different countries
- Relationship between picture dictionaries and encyclopedias for older children
and concept picture books for young children
- Influence of child psychology and reform pedagogy
- Influence of artistic styles such as Liberty, New Realism, or Modernism
Contributions from academics interested in any of these areas and in
international perspectives are particularly welcome. There are plans to
publishing the proceedings of the conference afterwards in book form.
The deadline for proposals is: 31 July 2008.
Please email a 300 word abstract (for a thirty minute paper) and a short
biography as an attached word document to Bettina Kümmerling-Meibauer at:
bettina.kuemmerlingt-online.de.
Notification of the acceptance of proposals will be made by 31 August 2008.
The conference venue is located in a beautiful castle from the 19th century at
Troisdorf, a small town not far from Cologne and the international airport
Köln/Bonn. For details, go to www.bilderbuchmuseum.de (text also in English)
An exhibition of picturebooks for young children, that demonstrates the
historical, typological, and theoretical aspects of this book type, will be
presented at the picture book museum from February 2009 until April 2009.

PLM2008 2nd Circular
[A printer-friendly PDF version of this document is available from our web page.]
The leitmotif of the 39th PLM will be ''Language, brain and mind: Recent
linguistic, neurolinguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives''. Proposals of
papers related to this main theme, as well as to other fields of modern
linguistics, are invited.
Keynote Speakers:
- Andrew Breeze (University of Navarra)
- Roberto R. Heredia (Texas A & M International University)
- Elena Lieven (Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig)
- Tobias Scheer (University of Nice)
- Steven L. Small (University of Chicago)
- Michal Starke (University of Tromsoe)
Special Events:
- John C. Wells (University College London) will present the latest edition of
the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary (2008).
- Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kolaczyk will lead a special teach-in session Natural
Phonology: the origin, development and state-of-the art. Speakers confirmed so
far: Patricia Donegan & David Stampe, Wolfgang U. Dressler, Miren Lourdes Onederra.
The aim of this special session is to provide a thorough but concise overview of
the main assumptions of the theory of Natural Phonology to an audience who have
not been introduced to the theory or who need to refresh or expand their
knowledge on the topic. The origins and main 'basics' of Natural Phonology in
the production-perception interaction area will be presented by the founders of
the theory themselves, David Stampe and Patricia Donegan. Major European
elaboration of the theory will also be introduced by its author, Wolfgang U.
Dressler. Some other extensions of the framework will be reported by other
followers of Natural Phonology. The highlight of this special session will be
exactly the presence of the founders of the theory which will ensure first-hand,
authentic and original presentation and interaction.
