Dear all,

This message is a reminder that a Workshop on the CHILDES Database will
take place at the University of Warwick, Coventry, England, Tuesday 17th
- Thursday 18th September 2002. The workshop is sponsored by the British
Psychological Society. The overall purpose of the seminars is to provide
practical hands-on experience of the database. In particular, we aim:

                      a.to introduce researchers unfamiliar with
CHILDES, but planning to do empirical psycholinguistic work, to the
basics of transcriptionand coding of new material to include in the
database;

                      b.to teach researchers who have already started
collecting data but are unfamiliar with the coding practices of CHILDES;

                      c.to teach researchers who have a basic or good
knowledge of the database but want an advanced course and need help in
addressing specific research questions within CHILDES.

                 The workshop will be run by the following CHILDES
experts:

                 Prof. Stephen Gillis (University of Antwerp)
                 Dr. Caroline Rowland (University of Liverpool)
                 Dr. Anna Theakston (University of Manchester)
                 Dr. Gary Jones (University of Derby)
                 Dr. Fernand Gobet (University of Nottingham)
                 Kate Joseph (University of Manchester)

                 The course is limited to 20-25 people. Researchers and
graduate students are welcome to apply. The course will be taught in
English, but non-UK applicants are welcome. Also a number of grants
covering partial expenses will be made available for postgraduate
