International Mother Tongue Day - meeting with colleagues from Cyprus

On International Mother Tongue Day (21 February) I had a productive meeting with colleagues from Cyprus and Australia about their chapter addressing cross-linguistic taxonomies of speech sound disorder that they have submitted for inclusion in our book "Multilingual Aspects of Children's Speech Sounds".

The [Oxford] Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World

I have been thrilled with the enthusiasm from colleagues from across the world who will be writing chapters in The [Oxford] Handbook of Speech Development in Languages of the World. At this stage, we should be profiling languages and dialects in over 80 chapters! I am currently finalising the chapter template and author guidelines with Oxford University Press. Today I met with authors to discuss chapters on Korean and Greek Speech Development. Talking with colleagues from across the world is the next best thing to travelling around the world.
