The 47th International Child Phonology Conference (ICPC 2026) will take place from May 27 – 29, 2026 at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
ICPC 2026 welcomes proposals for oral and poster presentations on all aspects of children’s speech sound development and use, including typical and atypical development in monolingual and bilingual contexts, multilingualism, and early second language acquisition. Work on Indigenous, minority, and under-researched languages and dialects is particularly encouraged.
The conference supports a multi- and inter-disciplinary approach to speech sound development, spanning phonology, phonetics, speech production, speech perception, psycholinguistics, clinical linguistics, sign language phonology, computational modelling, educational approaches, interfaces with other grammatical levels, and the application of new technology.
Theoretical, empirical, experimental, and clinical contributions are welcome.
The spirit of ICPC has traditionally been informal, friendly, collegial and supportive. All presentations receive equitable and maximal exposure as there are no keynote talks and no parallel sessions.
