46th International Child Phonology Conference, 28-30 May 2025 
ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary

We invite submissions to the 46th International Child Phonology Conference (ICPC) that will be held at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest, Hungary from May 28 - 30, 2025. ICPC is the largest annual gathering for research on child speech, child phonological development and child phonological disorders (SSDs).

ICPC 2025 welcomes proposals for oral and/or poster presentations on all aspects of children's speech in typical and atypical contexts in monolingualism, multilingualism, early second language acquisition, dialects, and sign language phonology. Work on indigenous, minority, and under-researched languages is also encouraged.

The conference supports a multi- and interdisciplinary approach across phonology, phonetics, interfaces with other grammatical levels, speech production, speech perception, psycholinguistics, clinical linguistics, sign language phonology, computational modeling, educational approaches, and the application of new technologies. Theoretical, empirical, experimental, and clinical contributions are welcome.

Specific topics include (but are not limited to):
- acquisition and use
- L1, L2, L3, Ln
- dialect
- pronunciation learning and teaching
- typical
- atypical
- multimodality
- assessment, remediation
- maintenance, loss and attrition
- speech recognition and processing
- speech and hearing impairment
- cultural and linguistic diversity
