 We are pleased to announce that the Child Language Seminar is returning to Newcastle upon Tyne in 2006. It will be hosted by the School of Education, Communication & Language Sciences at Newcastle University and is being organised by Thomas Klee and Deborah James. When the CLS was last held in Newcastle in 2003, papers were presented by child language researchers from over 20 countries, underlining the international appeal of this interdisciplinary conference. The CLS was first held in 1977 and provides a forum for research on first language development in all populations. Sessions will be organised around the age of the children studied rather than by the more usual topic areas (e.g. phonology, semantics, grammar, pragmatics), giving delegates exposure to research outside their own speciality area but within the same developmental span.
