visit our website at:
http://chhs.sdsu.edu/SLHS/phdmain.php

The doctoral program in Language and Communicative Disorders is
designed to educate a new generation of scientists who are interested
in applying research skills to the disorders.  This interdisciplinary
program provides training in typical (spoken and signed) and atypical
language, and in the neural bases of language learning, use and
loss.

GOALS:
1. To provide doctoral training in the study of language and
communicative behavior with an interdisciplinary focus that integrates
state-of-the-art knowledge from the fields of communicative disorders,
cognitive sciences, neurosciences, psychology and linguistics
represented by the expertise of core faculty from SDSU and UCSD.
2. To prepare professionals, educated in the interface between
behavioral and cognitive neuroscience methodologies, who will provide
critical leadership in research and health services.
3. To prepare Ph.D. level scientists in the field of language and
communicative disorders to serve as faculty in university programs and
scientists in a variety of settings to carry out much-needed research
on the processes of language development, disorders, assessment and
intervention.
4. To prepare researchers to carry out much-needed research in
communicative behavior and disorders in bilingualism and
multiculturalism.

ASHA CLINICAL CERTIFICATION:
Although this is a research Ph.D. program, doctoral students wishing
to obtain academic preparation for the Certificate of Clinical
Competence in Speech-Language Pathology from the American Speech-
Language-Hearing Association may do so concurrently with their
doctoral studies.  We also have a means for students wishing to
complete their CFY while enrolled in our program.

SUPPORT:
Several different funding sources are used to support doctoral
students including program scholarships, Graduate assistantships, in-
state and out of state fee support and faculty grant support.  In
additioan, “Neurocognitive Approaches to Communication Disorders”, a
training grant (NIH-NIDCD) provides up to two years of funding for
trainees who have the appropriate interests and qualifications.
Contact Dr. Lew Shapiro (shapiro at mail.sdsu.edu) for more information
regarding the training grant.

ASHA 2008 CONVENTION:

Dear all,
I am a PhD student working on the expression of movement in English
and French kids (early acquisition). I've been using the Lyon and
Providence corpora so far, but am lacking data on co-verbal gestures,
especially in English, because the recordings were made with a tripod
so the kids often move out of frame...
I've been browsing childes corpora without luck so far, but I haven't
checked all of them. So if anyone could think of an English
longitudinal corpus with good videos, I would be very glad to hear
from them!
Many thanks.
Caroline Rossi

Interfaces of Bilingualism and Specific Language Impairment Workshop -
Call for Posters

February 1-5, 2009

Institute for Advanced Study, the Hebrew University, Israel

The large numbers of bilinguals in the world and widespread migrations
of the 1990s, have led to dramatic increases in the number of children
being raised in multilingual communities. Typically developing (TD)
bilinguals often look like the children with Specific Language
Impairement (SLI), creating methodological and clinical diagnostic
confounds. Medical, language and educational professionals have
limited test instruments to distinguish language impaired migrant
children from those who will eventually catch up to their monolingual
peers. As a result, folk wisdom reigns, often carrying the view that
bilingual children with language disorders should be educated in a
single language, usually not the language of the home. In recent
years, several research groups have taken upon themselves to
disentangle bilingualism and SLI by establishing the relative

Message-ID: <MON.13.OCT.2008.195333.0200.>


Per ora, gli unici articoli che ho reperito sull'argomento sono allegati all'e-mail. Altri se ne occupano ma non ho trovato loro pubblicazioni. 

Io non so molto sulll'argomento, ne ho scoperto l'esistenza solo questa estate, e non ho avuto ancora modo di leggere niente per adesso. 

Credo che possa valer la pena lavorarci un pò, ma non so cosa ne possiamo tirar fuori visto che non abbiamo dati su L2 da comparare ai DSL. 

Dimmi cosa ne pensi. 

PS: hai ricevuto i file su Federico?

A presto 

Carla

Subject: urgent: last call for reel-to-reel video
Message-ID: <FRI.24.OCT.2008.112141.0400.>

Dear Colleagues,
     It appears that we are now just about at the end of the rope in  
terms of our ability to rescue by digitization any data from the 1970s  
and early 1980s that was recorded using the half-inch reel-to-reel  
video of that time.  The problem is that the machines required to play  
these tapes are now virtually all non-functional.   And there are no  
"new" units of this type that one can purchase.  I have been working  
with Canaan Media in New Jersey to rescue old audio and video through  
digitization.  The old reel-to-reel audio is not at all a problem and  
the machines that read these tapes will last still for decades.   
However, the Sony and Toshiba machines that read the half-inch helical  
tapes seem to be more sensitive.  Canaan Media has three of the Sony  
AV-3650 machines, but none of them are operational.  They have asked  
me to post a note to info-childes asking if anyone has operational  
machines like the Sony AV-3650.  If so, we would be happy to pay for  
shipping costs to send these to New Jersey.
     Along the same lines, if you have tapes of this type and hope to  
be able to recover the data on them, we are now close to the end of  
the road.  The CHILDES Project can help on this, if there are  
transcripts, and if we can locate surviving machines.  Otherwise, we  
may have to decide that this media type is now officially dead.
    Many thanks.

--Brian MacWhinney

Subject: deadline extension
Message-ID: <FRI.24.OCT.2008.154838.0400.>

Dear Info-CHILDES,
     The Journal of Child Language (JCL) has agreed to extend the  
deadline for papers for the Special Issue on "Computational Models of  
Child Language Learning" from November 28 to December 23.  Several  
authors had pointed out that the time from the announcement to the  
deadline was a bit tight and had asked for a few more weeks.

-- Brian MacWhinney

Here is the call for papers again:

The Journal of Child Language is soliciting submissions for a special
issue entitled ‘Computational Models of Child Language Learning.’
This research area has seen a recent rapid growth, based on the
increased availability of corpus data, better methods for annotating
and parsing corpora, and  innovations in computational modeling.
Submissions are invited for models of all levels of linguistic
structure including lexicon, syntax, phonology, gesture, conversation,
and semantics.  Modeling may focus on monolingual or bilingual
acquisition in both normal and language-delayed populations.  Models
may make use of any well-specified computational framework, including
but not limited to connectionist modeling, Bayesian analysis,
production systems, or logical analysis.  Typically, models will use
corpus data as input and observed patterns in the child's productions
as output.  However, other well-specified computational frameworks are
also invited.

The guest editor for this issue is Brian MacWhinney. Papers will go
through the regular review process. They  should be submitted
electronically though Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcl 
) and should follow the regular guidelines for the Journal.
Authors should indicate that their paper is to be considered for the
special issue.  The deadline for submissions is November 28, 2008.
Questions about possible submissions should be sent to Brian
MacWhinney macw at cmu.edu

(University of Alberta), William O'Grady (University of Hawai'i), Yasuhiro
Shirai (University of Pittsburgh) and Brian MacWhinney (Carnegie Mellon
University); (ii) a special workshop on "Methods for automatic computational
analysis of data on bilingual acquisition" organized by Brian MacWhinney
(Carnegie Mellon University); (iii) a special panel on "Childhood
multilingualism: international perspectives" which features five talks given
by Johanne Paradis, Annick De Houwer, Shyamala Chengappa, Madalena
Cruz-Ferreira, Bee Chin Ng and Virginia Yip, who will share their expertise
and perspectives on issues related to how children become bilingual and
multilingual in different parts of the world including Canada, Europe,

We seek to appoint a Professor of Neuroscience or Neuropsychology.
Applications are particularly encouraged from candidates with interests in
EEG methods and/or Hearing research, though we welcome other specialisms,
especially those that complement existing strengths in Cognitive,
Developmental, Social and Neuropsychology.

The Department of Psychology was graded 5A in RAE 2001 and with a maximum
24 points in the QAA teaching assessment exercise. We are well-resourced
with eye-tracking, 3D movement registration and Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation facilities, a new 128-channel EEG facility with adult and
infant recording facilities, plus dedicated laboratory facilities for
computer-based experimentation, including a new suite of integrated
fully-insulated acoustic booths with control room. Recently, we
established the Sensory Neuroscience Unit as an international focus for
research in neuroscience and neuropsychology. The department has strong
links with local NHS hospitals and other departments in the University
(e.g., Clinical Psychology; Applied Statistics). We also have
collaborative links with other universities (e.g., for fMRI facilities).
The department has ESRC-recognised PhD and Masters programmes and a
buoyant undergraduate community, and has secured over £8m in research and
training funds in the past five years. We offer a supportive and
collegiate environment, with moderate and carefully managed teaching and
administration loads.

You should be a prominent internationally recognised researcher, with a
proven track record of publications, funding and supervision, and
demonstrated leadership in research and teaching.

This post is available from 1 April 2009. Informal enquiries can be made
to the Head of Department, Professor Tom Ormerod (Tel: 01524 593164,

The doctoral program in Language and Communicative Disorders is
designed to educate a new generation of scientists who are interested
in applying research skills to the disorders.  This interdisciplinary
program provides training in typical (spoken and signed) and atypical
language, and in the neural bases of language learning, use and
loss.

GOALS:
1. To provide doctoral training in the study of language and
communicative behavior with an interdisciplinary focus that integrates
state-of-the-art knowledge from the fields of communicative disorders,
cognitive sciences, neurosciences, psychology and linguistics
represented by the expertise of core faculty from SDSU and UCSD.
2. To prepare professionals, educated in the interface between
behavioral and cognitive neuroscience methodologies, who will provide
critical leadership in research and health services.
3. To prepare Ph.D. level scientists in the field of language and
communicative disorders to serve as faculty in university programs and
scientists in a variety of settings to carry out much-needed research
on the processes of language development, disorders, assessment and
intervention.
4. To prepare researchers to carry out much-needed research in
communicative behavior and disorders in bilingualism and
multiculturalism.

ASHA CLINICAL CERTIFICATION:
Although this is a research Ph.D. program, doctoral students wishing
to obtain academic preparation for the Certificate of Clinical
Competence in Speech-Language Pathology from the American Speech-
Language-Hearing Association may do so concurrently with their
doctoral studies.  We also have a means for students wishing to
complete their CFY while enrolled in our program.

SUPPORT:
Several different funding sources are used to support doctoral
students including program scholarships, Graduate assistantships, in-
state and out of state fee support and faculty grant support.  In
additioan, ?Neurocognitive Approaches to Communication Disorders?, a
training grant (NIH-NIDCD) provides up to two years of funding for
trainees who have the appropriate interests and qualifications.
Contact Dr. Lew Shapiro (shapiro at mail.sdsu.edu) for more information
regarding the training grant.

ASHA 2008 CONVENTION:

Dear all,
I am a PhD student working on the expression of movement in English
and French kids (early acquisition). I've been using the Lyon and
Providence corpora so far, but am lacking data on co-verbal gestures,
especially in English, because the recordings were made with a tripod
so the kids often move out of frame...
I've been browsing childes corpora without luck so far, but I haven't
checked all of them. So if anyone could think of an English
longitudinal corpus with good videos, I would be very glad to hear
from them!
Many thanks.
Caroline Rossi

Interfaces of Bilingualism and Specific Language Impairment Workshop -
Call for Posters

February 1-5, 2009

Institute for Advanced Study, the Hebrew University, Israel

The large numbers of bilinguals in the world and widespread migrations
of the 1990s, have led to dramatic increases in the number of children
being raised in multilingual communities. Typically developing (TD)
bilinguals often look like the children with Specific Language
Impairement (SLI), creating methodological and clinical diagnostic
confounds. Medical, language and educational professionals have
limited test instruments to distinguish language impaired migrant
children from those who will eventually catch up to their monolingual
peers. As a result, folk wisdom reigns, often carrying the view that
bilingual children with language disorders should be educated in a
single language, usually not the language of the home. In recent
years, several research groups have taken upon themselves to
disentangle bilingualism and SLI by establishing the relative
contribution of the each to impaired language performance.

Invited Speakers include:
?	Galit Adam, Tel Aviv University
?	Anne Baker, University of Amsterdam
?	Isabelle Barriere, Brooklyn College (CUNY)

Per ora, gli unici articoli che ho reperito sull'argomento sono allegati all'e-mail. Altri se ne occupano ma non ho trovato loro pubblicazioni. 

Io non so molto sulll'argomento, ne ho scoperto l'esistenza solo questa estate, e non ho avuto ancora modo di leggere niente per adesso. 

Credo che possa valer la pena lavorarci un p?, ma non so cosa ne possiamo tirar fuori visto che non abbiamo dati su L2 da comparare ai DSL. 

Dimmi cosa ne pensi. 

PS: hai ricevuto i file su Federico?

A presto

Subject: urgent: last call for reel-to-reel video
Message-ID: <FRI.24.OCT.2008.112141.0400.>

Dear Colleagues,
     It appears that we are now just about at the end of the rope in  
terms of our ability to rescue by digitization any data from the 1970s  
and early 1980s that was recorded using the half-inch reel-to-reel  
video of that time.  The problem is that the machines required to play  
these tapes are now virtually all non-functional.   And there are no  
"new" units of this type that one can purchase.  I have been working  
with Canaan Media in New Jersey to rescue old audio and video through  
digitization.  The old reel-to-reel audio is not at all a problem and  
the machines that read these tapes will last still for decades.   
However, the Sony and Toshiba machines that read the half-inch helical  
tapes seem to be more sensitive.  Canaan Media has three of the Sony  
AV-3650 machines, but none of them are operational.  They have asked  
me to post a note to info-childes asking if anyone has operational  
machines like the Sony AV-3650.  If so, we would be happy to pay for  
shipping costs to send these to New Jersey.
     Along the same lines, if you have tapes of this type and hope to  
be able to recover the data on them, we are now close to the end of  
the road.  The CHILDES Project can help on this, if there are  
transcripts, and if we can locate surviving machines.  Otherwise, we  
may have to decide that this media type is now officially dead.
    Many thanks.

Subject: deadline extension
Message-ID: <FRI.24.OCT.2008.154838.0400.>

Dear Info-CHILDES,
     The Journal of Child Language (JCL) has agreed to extend the  
deadline for papers for the Special Issue on "Computational Models of  
Child Language Learning" from November 28 to December 23.  Several  
authors had pointed out that the time from the announcement to the  
deadline was a bit tight and had asked for a few more weeks.

-- Brian MacWhinney

Here is the call for papers again:

The Journal of Child Language is soliciting submissions for a special
issue entitled ?Computational Models of Child Language Learning.?
This research area has seen a recent rapid growth, based on the
increased availability of corpus data, better methods for annotating
and parsing corpora, and  innovations in computational modeling.
Submissions are invited for models of all levels of linguistic
structure including lexicon, syntax, phonology, gesture, conversation,
and semantics.  Modeling may focus on monolingual or bilingual
acquisition in both normal and language-delayed populations.  Models
may make use of any well-specified computational framework, including
but not limited to connectionist modeling, Bayesian analysis,
production systems, or logical analysis.  Typically, models will use
corpus data as input and observed patterns in the child's productions
as output.  However, other well-specified computational frameworks are
also invited.

The guest editor for this issue is Brian MacWhinney. Papers will go
through the regular review process. They  should be submitted
electronically though Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcl 
) and should follow the regular guidelines for the Journal.
Authors should indicate that their paper is to be considered for the
special issue.  The deadline for submissions is November 28, 2008.
Questions about possible submissions should be sent to Brian
MacWhinney macw at cmu.edu

There is a vacancy for a professorship in neuroscience/neuropsychology at

We seek to appoint a Professor of Neuroscience or Neuropsychology.
Applications are particularly encouraged from candidates with interests in
EEG methods and/or Hearing research, though we welcome other specialisms,
especially those that complement existing strengths in Cognitive,
Developmental, Social and Neuropsychology.

The Department of Psychology was graded 5A in RAE 2001 and with a maximum
24 points in the QAA teaching assessment exercise. We are well-resourced
with eye-tracking, 3D movement registration and Transcranial Magnetic
Stimulation facilities, a new 128-channel EEG facility with adult and
infant recording facilities, plus dedicated laboratory facilities for
computer-based experimentation, including a new suite of integrated
fully-insulated acoustic booths with control room. Recently, we
established the Sensory Neuroscience Unit as an international focus for
research in neuroscience and neuropsychology. The department has strong
links with local NHS hospitals and other departments in the University
(e.g., Clinical Psychology; Applied Statistics). We also have
collaborative links with other universities (e.g., for fMRI facilities).
The department has ESRC-recognised PhD and Masters programmes and a
buoyant undergraduate community, and has secured over ?8m in research and
training funds in the past five years. We offer a supportive and
collegiate environment, with moderate and carefully managed teaching and
administration loads.

You should be a prominent internationally recognised researcher, with a
proven track record of publications, funding and supervision, and
demonstrated leadership in research and teaching.

This post is available from 1 April 2009. Informal enquiries can be made
to the Head of Department, Professor Tom Ormerod (Tel: 01524 593164,
email: t.ormerod at lancaster.ac.uk). General information about the
Department is available at http://www.psych.lancs.ac.uk/

Lancaster University is a dynamic institution committed to building on the
reputation it has developed during its first forty years for pioneering
innovation and excellence in teaching and research. Working towards
equality of opportunity.
