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 papers and posters covering any aspect of children's speech-sound development.
Following
the child phonology conference
tradition, we will have no invited speakers.
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,
tables, and tableaux, if needed. Abstracts
will be peer-reviewed anonymously and independently by three members of the
scientific committee.

The Scientific Committee for the 2012 ICPC is as follows:
Michael Becker, University of Massachusetts-Amherst
Cynthia Core, George Washington University
Robert Daland, UCLA
Ashley Ferris-Trimble, University of Iowa
Jeffrey J. Holliday, Ohio State University
Jill Hoover, Indiana University
Rebecca Macauley, Ohio State University
Benjamin Munson, University of Minnesota
Anne-Michelle Tessier, University of Alberta/University of Michigan
Venue
The
conference will be held at the McNamara Alumni Center (http://www.mac-events.org/)
on the University of Minnesota campus.
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.
