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. 2nd Call For Papers Deadline for abstracts: December 1, 2010 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. Conference website http://yorkconferences.com/Delegate_Information/International_Child_Phono logy_Conference.aspx Abstracts for both the main conference and the workshop (up to 300 words per presentation) should be submitted directly to the conference website (now accessible). 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.
