A new website for the adaptation of CHILDES to Semitic languages

[Sigal Uziel-Karl]

Dear list members,

 

I am pleased to announce the launching of a new
website – SemTalk (http://semtalk.talkbank.org)
devoted to the adaptation of CHILDES to Semitic
languages like Hebrew and Arabic.

 

So far, the website includes information on the
Hebrew and Arabic transcription conventions, the
adaptation of various CHILDES tools to these
languages (e.g., HMOR), papers on conversation
analysis (CA), descriptions of recent seminar papers
and other research on the acquisition of Hebrew and
Arabic using the CHILDES system, links to the Hebrew
databases and manuals in the CHILDES website, and
some relevant links to other sites. The site has a
discussion group, which you can join through a link
on the site.

 

Currently, most of the information on the site is in
Hebrew or English.

 

Contribution of material/comments/suggestions to the
website are more than welcome!

I’d be particularly happy to get contributions
from researchers working on Arabic.

 

Best,

Sigal Uziel-Karl.
