IASCL Publications
Early days: the Child Language Newsletter
When the IASCL was formed (see our 50th anniversary page), later (1981-84) IASCL President David Ingram edited the Child Language Newsletter on behalf of the IASCL. It first appeared in a mimeographed form in May 1974 (Vol. 1, 1). As of November 1974 (Vol. I, 2), it appeared as part of the Linguistic Reporter, which was published by the Center of Applied Linguistics in Washington, D.C., USA. The Newsletter appeared 5 times. The last one appeared in May 1976.
You can find the following editions here:

Child Language Bulletin
For about 5 years there was no newsletter put out on behalf of the IASCL. However, starting in 1981 a new format was published. Paper versions of the new Child Language Bulletin were sent out to IASCL members worldwide. Like today, it featured a range of topics - going from news about the running of our Association to announcements of new dissertations on child language and listings of conferences of interest to our membership.
The Bulletin has been appearing twice a year since its beginnings. Paper editions were abandoned in about 2003 - we only offer pdf versions now.
We are very grateful to our diligent Bulletin editors over the years.
In chronological order, they are: Susan Foster Cohen (USA), Philip Dale (USA), Gillian Wiggelsworth (Australia), Jasone Cenoz (Spain), Ludovica Serratrice (UK), Barbora Skarabela (UK), and Angel Chan (China: Hong Kong SAR). Angel has been of service to us since 2009 and has kindly committed to serving until 2027, by which time she will have served for an incredible 18 years!
The Child Language Bulletin holds our Association together and is our main communication channel. Its archive (unfortunately incomplete) contains quite a bit of history pertaining to our Association and our field. Take a look below!
