PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS SCHOOL OF AUDIOLOGY AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY DEAN: Maurice Mendel DIRECTOR OF GRADUATE STUDIES: David Wark Ph.D. POLICIES COMMITTEE CHAIR: D. Kimbrough Oller APPLICATION DEADLINE yearly Feb. 1, June 1 and Oct. 1 To obtain admission information/download or apply online visit our website at: http://academics.memphis.edu/gradcatalog/catausp.html and go to item V, Ph.D. Program This Ph.D. program has a decades long history of educating leaders in the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology. The impacts of these graduates have been felt in both scientific and clinical fields related to language development, child phonology, early education, technology development in speech and hearing, hearing sciences, hearing aid technology as well as assessment and treatment in speech, language and hearing. The goal of the program is to prepare such leaders in science and related clinical practices. The Ph.D. program has an academic and research (both basic and applied) focus, and graduates typically go on to careers in University research and teaching. Students in the program are not required to have or to pursue clinical certification. Still, clinical certification in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology from the American Speech- Language-Hearing Association is typically obtained by students prior to applying to the Ph.D. program. In addition, individual programs of study have accommodated clinical training concurrent with the academic program. Funding sources involve a variety of options, including University graduate assistantships, grants, and fellowships. These sources are accompanied by remission of fees and tuition. 2008 ASHA CONVENTION: A number of doctoral faculty (see web pages at http://www.ausp.memphis.edu/facstaff.html) and Ph.D. students will be in Chicago at ASHA, and will be presenting in 17 seminars, symposia, papers and posters.

This looks like an interesting project. I think that ellipsis and quantification in language are very important to these questions. In fact, Barbara Pearson and I have worked on a proposal connecting langauge and math in elementary school. I just wanted to alert you to the possible connection---because most people don't see it. (Some of the ellipsis examples in my book on pennies are pertinent/) So if you remember the example I used, one just has to add numbers: There are five children playing in the yard and five children outside. [two children inside have hats, and one outside] Do three have hats? One could answer "no" if one reconstructs [do 3 children outside] have hats? These ambiguities are all over the place in children's math problems, and teachers often do not see them.

Data from a ninth child were omitted, because that child was nonverbal. All children were recruited at the Isatis department of the Saint-Jean-de-Dieu hospital (Lyon, France) where they were initially diagnosed with DSM-IV (1994) Autistic Disorder. They had a mean Child Autism Rating Scale Score (CARS) of 38.64 (standard deviation = 12; range = 35-47) and developmental age between 12-16 months and 28-32 months at the beginning of the study (January 2007). We have divided children in three groups: first words, first combinations and first phrases, as evaluated relative to mean length of utterance (MLU), i.e., respectively 1, 2 and superior to 2 (Victor, Eliott, Lyne = 1; Matthieu, Charlotte, Félix = 2; Maeva, Ahmed, Grégory > 2). Children have been (and will continue to be) recorded approximately every three months for 3 years at the Isatis and Tarentelle medical daycare centers. Children are recorded in three types of situations (work, lunch-time and play-time). We have also conducted Savage- Rumbaugh tests and false belief tests at the end of the first year. Publications making use of these data should cite the following article: Foudon, Nadege, Reboul, Anne, & Manificat, Sabine (2007). Language acquisition in autistic children: A longitudinal study.

For more information, please contact Dr. Philip Prinz--E-mail: pm at sfsu.edu --- Joint Doctoral Program in Special Education The Doctoral Program in Special Education, offered jointly by San Francisco State University and the University of California, Berkeley, culminates in a Ph.D. degree. The program draws on the strengths of both universities in developing leaders and research specialists in the field of special education. Students select an area of academic specialization in both special and general education. Faculty and program resources on the two campuses are used to develop advanced knowledge of theory and research in an area of exceptionality. Specializations include human development; language and literacy; bilingualism; technology; educational policy and administration; early childhood; mild/moderate disabilities; moderate/severe disabilities; autism; vision impairments; deafness and deaf education; and other areas selected by students in consultation with faculty advisers. In the program students develop three areas of emphasis or specialization. Courses are taken on both university campuses, and faculty are drawn from both institutions.

Currently I am in search for materials for my research and need help in reaching data for analysis. I need a bilingual child, or recordings or transcriptions of production of a bilingual child, whose age is somewhere around 20 months of age, and the languages are English and a language with final obstruent devoicing, preferably Polish, but since the matter is now urgent any such language will do. I will be much obliged for any information or material. SEARCHING FOR: Child: bilingual Age: around 20 months of age Languages: English + any language with final obstruent devoicing (Polish, German, Czech, etc.) Type of material: recordings, transcriptions, the child itself If you are able to help me in any way, please write: kaja.pietrusewicz at gmail.com Thank you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

The workshop is organised on the occasion of the finalization of two projects: ‘Variation in Inflection’ (Variflex) and ‘Disentangling Bilingualism and SLI’ (BISLI). At the same time, a new project that combines the fruits of the two projects with a processing approach is introduced. During the workshop, inflection will be addressed from a variety of research angles: first and second language acquisition, specific language impairment, language processing, language change, microvariation. The purpose of the workshop is to show how different research traditions can shed light on the same questions.

PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT THE UNIVERSITY OF MEMPHIS SCHOOL OF AUDIOLOGY AND SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGY DEAN: Maurice Mendel DIRECTOR OF GRADUATE STUDIES: David Wark Ph.D. POLICIES COMMITTEE CHAIR: D. Kimbrough Oller APPLICATION DEADLINE yearly Feb. 1, June 1 and Oct. 1 To obtain admission information/download or apply online visit our website at: http://academics.memphis.edu/gradcatalog/catausp.html and go to item V, Ph.D. Program This Ph.D. program has a decades long history of educating leaders in the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology. The impacts of these graduates have been felt in both scientific and clinical fields related to language development, child phonology, early education, technology development in speech and hearing, hearing sciences, hearing aid technology as well as assessment and treatment in speech, language and hearing. The goal of the program is to prepare such leaders in science and related clinical practices. The Ph.D. program has an academic and research (both basic and applied) focus, and graduates typically go on to careers in University research and teaching. Students in the program are not required to have or to pursue clinical certification. Still, clinical certification in Speech-Language Pathology or Audiology from the American Speech- Language-Hearing Association is typically obtained by students prior to applying to the Ph.D. program. In addition, individual programs of study have accommodated clinical training concurrent with the academic program. Funding sources involve a variety of options, including University graduate assistantships, grants, and fellowships. These sources are accompanied by remission of fees and tuition. 2008 ASHA CONVENTION: A number of doctoral faculty (see web pages at http://www.ausp.memphis.edu/facstaff.html) and Ph.D. students will be in Chicago at ASHA, and will be presenting in 17 seminars, symposia, papers and posters. Look to our program website http://www.ausp.memphis.edu/ for a link listing the presentations at ?Click here to see a list of presentations by our faculty and students at ASHA?.

This looks like an interesting project. I think that ellipsis and quantification in language are very important to these questions. In fact, Barbara Pearson and I have worked on a proposal connecting langauge and math in elementary school. I just wanted to alert you to the possible connection---because most people don't see it. (Some of the ellipsis examples in my book on pennies are pertinent/) So if you remember the example I used, one just has to add numbers: There are five children playing in the yard and five children outside. [two children inside have hats, and one outside] Do three have hats? One could answer "no" if one reconstructs [do 3 children outside] have hats? These ambiguities are all over the place in children's math problems, and teachers often do not see them.

Data from a ninth child were omitted, because that child was nonverbal. All children were recruited at the Isatis department of the Saint-Jean-de-Dieu hospital (Lyon, France) where they were initially diagnosed with DSM-IV (1994) Autistic Disorder. They had a mean Child Autism Rating Scale Score (CARS) of 38.64 (standard deviation = 12; range = 35-47) and developmental age between 12-16 months and 28-32 months at the beginning of the study (January 2007). We have divided children in three groups: first words, first combinations and first phrases, as evaluated relative to mean length of utterance (MLU), i.e., respectively 1, 2 and superior to 2 (Victor, Eliott, Lyne = 1; Matthieu, Charlotte, F?lix = 2; Maeva, Ahmed, Gr?gory > 2). Children have been (and will continue to be) recorded approximately every three months for 3 years at the Isatis and Tarentelle medical daycare centers. Children are recorded in three types of situations (work, lunch-time and play-time). We have also conducted Savage- Rumbaugh tests and false belief tests at the end of the first year. Publications making use of these data should cite the following article: Foudon, Nadege, Reboul, Anne, & Manificat, Sabine (2007). Language acquisition in autistic children: A longitudinal study.

I am a student at Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan, Poland, currently I am about to write my MA thesis in the field of (natural) phonology, the main area of my interest is voicing and devoicing processes in bilingual children. Currently I am in search for materials for my research and need help in reaching data for analysis. I need a bilingual child, or recordings or transcriptions of production of a bilingual child, whose age is somewhere around 20 months of age, and the languages are English and a language with final obstruent devoicing, preferably Polish, but since the matter is now urgent any such language will do. I will be much obliged for any information or material. SEARCHING FOR: Child: bilingual Age: around 20 months of age Languages: English + any language with final obstruent devoicing (Polish, German, Czech, etc.) Type of material: recordings, transcriptions, the child itself If you are able to help me in any way, please write: kaja.pietrusewicz at gmail.com Thank you. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

The workshop is organised on the occasion of the finalization of two projects: ?Variation in Inflection? (Variflex) and ?Disentangling Bilingualism and SLI? (BISLI). At the same time, a new project that combines the fruits of the two projects with a processing approach is introduced. During the workshop, inflection will be addressed from a variety of research angles: first and second language acquisition, specific language impairment, language processing, language change, microvariation. The purpose of the workshop is to show how different research traditions can shed light on the same questions. Invited Speakers: Prof. Josef Bayer, Universit?t Konstanz Dr. Elma Blom, University of Alberta Dr Vicky Chondrogianni, University of Reading Prof. Harald Clahsen, University of Essex Dr. Leonie Cornips, Meertens Instituut Dr. Eric Fu?, Universit?t Frankfurt Dr. Theo Marinis, University of Reading Dr. Johanne Paradis, University of Alberta Prof. Petra Schulz, Universit?t Frankfurt Prof. Antonella Sorace, University of Edinburgh Dr Sharon Unsworth, Utrecht University, Meertens Instituut Participation fee : 50 euro ; 100 euro including dinner on Monday night.
