AAE-speaking comm. dis. grad student needed

[Shelley Velleman]

I am looking for a graduate research assistant (either MA or PhD level) in
Communication Disorders who is fluent in AAE to record, transcribe, and
analyze the speech of babies learning AAE as a first dialect beginning
summer 2004. IPA skills are a very strong plus.

If you know of such a student, please encourage her/him to:

1.  contact me (velleman at comdis.umass.edu)

2.  apply to the grad program in Communication Disorders at UMass,
specifying AAE skills.

The position is for 10 hours per week and includes tuition waiver and health
benefits as well as competitive salary.

Thanks.

Shelley Velleman
