The 30th meeting of the Child Language Research Forum will be

within first language acquisition, from specialization for speech
sounds to uses of relative clauses, from politeness routines to
clarification questions, from syntactic categories to narrative
skills, or from semantic relations to subordinate clauses.
We particularly welcome reports on crosslinguistic findings and
comparisons among related languages; on how language typologies affect
the course of acquisition, and on similarities and differences
among children in the acquisition of a single language.
