> A comprehensive, non-computerized record documenting my son's 
> acquisition of English from age 0:11 to age 3:0 (06/1982-06/1985) is 
> available for academic study. The data is collected into one large box 
> of notebooks, miscellaneous papers and some audio cassette tapes .
>
> When I enrolled as a graduate student in linguistics, it was my intent 
> to have my then-ongoing documentation form the basis of a second 
> Master's degree (the first an MAT in ES[O]L) with an eye toward 
> publication. Continuing my formal studies soon became impractical, and 
> the collection -- still labeled "Greggie's LL" -- was misplaced 
> numerous times.
>
> The box has resurfaced, and I would now like to share the raw data 
> (using two systems of transcription) so that the record has some 
> lasting, professional meaning. I am willing to work with the person 
> who is studying the collection.
>
> My first preference would be to turn the data over to someone who will 
> organize - hopefully computerize - the information for some form of 
> publication and who will agree not to cite examples "in the public 
> domain" until it is published. I would hope to co-sign a 
> non-disclosure agreement and collaborate where deemed helpful ... but 
> will consider an alternative arrangement.

> Serious inquiries should contact Rebecca Perham at this e-mail 
> address. One direct interview is required. Recipient can pick box up 
> or pay for insured shipping in November. I am in Massachusetts, south 
> of Boston.
