I have realized now that the two computers do show different symbols at the beginning of a file when I do go to the explorer: one starts the file with the turquois CLAN symbol, the other does not. My question: is there anybody who can tell me whether I just do not have to bother or do I need to install CLAN program again?

I have in mind the full gamut of features that characterise this register (including changes to phonology, lexis, grammar and pragmatics). I have the vaguest recollection that Roger Brown noted somewhere that parents make more than 100 different kinds of modifications when adapting their speech for children, but this may just be some strange fantasy of my own concoction.

This collection was contributed by Madalena Cruz-Ferreira and colleagues. To locate these references within the larger database, just look for records in which the Keywords field says "Singapore". I have also integrated into the larger database the 1040 records on Spanish contributed by Rebeca Barriga-Villanueva and colleagues and the 1153 records contributed by Madalena Cruz-Ferreira and colleagues. Similarly, these can be located by searching for "Spanish" or "Portuguese" in the Keywords field. All of these materials and the relevant documentation can be downloaded from http://childes.psy.cmu.edu/bibs/ --Brian MacWhinney Here is the documentation file from Madalena Cruz-Ferreira explaining the recently contributed Singapore Bibliography: The following is an update on a bibliography of research in Singapore child language. This bibliography spans the past two decades up to ongoing studies on monolingual or multilingual English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil as used in Singapore, by and to typically and atypically developing children, at home or elsewhere, written in English, and includes research on educational and pedagogical issues, as well as on developmental norming and remediation. The present scope of the bibliography stems from several limitations. Self-imposed limitations concern, for example, the omission of references, whether published or academic research pieces, whose titles I found vague and whose abstracts are unavailable to resolve this vagueness, and the inclusion of studies dealing with the language used to the child, on my assumption that analyses of child language can only make sense with clear information about linguistic targets surrounding the child. One more inherent limitation concerns my illiteracy in three of the four languages used in Singapore, which explains the absence of references written in Chinese, Malay and Tamil. The long-term goal of this bibliographical database is to provide a regularly updated source of information on child language research in the broader South-East Asian region, preferably in different languages. It is my hope that researchers in child language, in Singapore as elsewhere in the SE Asian region, will want to come back to me with information and suggestions that may turn this bibliography into a research tool that can truly serve its users. Putting together a usable bibliography is not a one-person assignment. The following colleagues (this includes current and past students) generously contributed contacts and details on their own research, as well as their time: Norhaida Aman, Chris Brebner, Chen Ee San, Joseph A. Foley, Anthea Fraser Gupta, Low Ee Ling, Ng Bee Chin, Tomasina Oh, Susan J. Rickard Liow, Hazel See Lei Chia, Seetha Lakshmi, Rita E. Silver, Tan Liang Hui, Tan Seok Hui and Linda Thompson.

Thank you, Gedeon Deák FACULTY POSITIONS IN DEVELOPMENTAL SCIENCE DEPARTMENT OF COGNITIVE SCIENCE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO The Department of Cognitive Science at the University of California at San Diego has two faculty positions for outstanding developmental researchers. The Cognitive Science department at UCSD (http:// www.cogsci.ucsd.edu/) was the first of its kind in the world, and, as part of an exceptional scientific community, it remains a dominant influence in the field it helped to create. The department is truly interdisciplinary, with a faculty whose interests span anthropology, computer science, human development, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. 1. Assistant Professor (tenure-track): The department is looking for a top-caliber junior researcher in any area(s) of cognitive science, with a focus on problems of human development. Applicants must have a Ph.D. (or ABD). A broad interdisciplinary perspective will be highly valued. Experience with multiple methodologies is preferred. 2. Associate or Full Professor (with tenure): The department is looking for an outstanding senior researcher in any area(s) of cognitive science, with a focus on problems of human development. The position will also include the Directorship of the UCSD Center for Human Development (http://chd.ucsd.edu/). The Center for Human Development is an interdisciplinary research unit with close ties to Cognitive Science, Psychology, and other departments at UCSD. Its principal mission is to foster strong cross-disciplinary approaches to the study of human development, broadly defined. Applicants with a track record of exemplary research with an impact in multiple disciplines are preferred. Salary for each position will be commensurate with the experience of the successful applicant and based on the UC pay scale. Both positions begin July 1, 2007. Women and minorities are encouraged to apply. Applicants are invited to provide comments about their leadership activities and contributions to diversity in education and scholarship.
