My autistic son, who was language-delayed (he didn't speak until 20 mos), had produced some of these between the ages of 3 and 4 "food house" = restaurant and "witch's ride"= broom Now at age 7, he has produced the following in the last 2 months "orange sky light" = the setting sun "paris building" = the Eiffel tower "cooking glove" = oven mitt In addition, my 3-year old daughter recently said "baby napkin" for bib. Can someone point me to more literature on this type of construction?

For extensive discussion of children's acquisition of this particular compounding process, you could look at my book Child Language: The Parametric Approach (OUP, 2007), and Eve Clark's book The Lexicon in Acquisition (CUP, 1995). Now, the other three examples you mentioned are different: "wash hands" = sink "daddy's read" = newspaper "witch's ride"= broom These could conceivably be attempts at an adult-English reduced relative ("where you wash your hands", "what daddies (?) read", "what witches ride"). Alternatively, at least the first example (and less obviously the other two) might be overextensions of a type of exocentric synthetic compounding that is not freely available in adult English, but is freely available in languages like French and Spanish: French: "lave-vaisselle" (literally "wash-dishes") = dish-washer French: "mange-souris" (a novel form, literally "eat-mice") = mouse-eater English: "pick-pocket" = a person who picks pockets English: * "eat-mice" (attempted novel form) = mouse-eater ~~~ Good luck with your investigation of this interesting topic! - William Prof. William Snyder Head of Linguistics Department University of Connecticut --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

I have a correction too. Not sure the original examples are Gruber's as I believe the reduced relative analysis was first proposed by Henry Hamburger (as well Hamburger and Crain?). I think all of them are some sort of relative structure food house = restaurant a house that has food witch's ride = broom a thing that witches ride Paris building = Eiffel Tower a building that is in Paris cooking glove = oven mitt a glove that is used for cooking baby napkin = bib a napkin that is used by/for babies Best, Susan On Sep 4, 11:50 am, William Snyder wrote: > One correction to my last message: > > William Snyder wrote: > > Now, the other three examples you mentioned are different: > > > "wash hands" = sink > > "daddy's read" = newspaper > > "witch's ride"= broom > > > These could conceivably be attempts at an adult-English reduced > > relative ("where you wash your hands", "what daddies (?) read", "what > > witches ride"). > > That should have been 'free relative', not 'reduced relative'. > > - William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

The literature seems very sparse, so any studies that you are aware of will likely be very useful. AAE is a close match to Caribbean English in some respects and I've been able to identify some studies in this area (namely by Shelley Velleman and colleagues). If you don't know of any studies in Caribbean English, I would be grateful for any references that you might have on AAE. I am particularly interested in phonological development but other areas are also of interest. best wishes Ngoni ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ngoni Chipere PhD, Programme Coordinator APADD, Open Campus University of the West Indies Cave Hill, Barbados phone 1246 417 4996 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

We are looking for two PhD candidates for the following projects: - Development of dialogical rules. - History of social interaction: Emergence of top-down strategies from bottom-up social attentional processes. Please see below for more details. Best regards, Katharina Rohlfing. --- PD Dr. Katharina J. Rohlfing Emergentist Semantics Group Center of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology Bielefeld University http://www.cit-ec.de/emergentistsemantics/index.html --- Job Offers The Applied Informatics Group, Faculty of Technology, Bielefeld University is looking for PhD candidates for project positions within the EU Initial Training Network „RobotDoc“ in the area of Social Learning and Interaction. We are looking for two PhD candidates for the following projects: • Development of dialogical rules. The verbal and cognitive development of infants is rooted in dialogue with other people (e.g. parents, peers). However, there is little research on how infants develop the capability for dialogue. We hypothesize that contingency is a fundamental mechanism that may help infants to develop their basic interactive capabilities such as turn-taking (Masataka 2003). These capabilities guide their attention to opening phases of a dialogue, and even regulate their emotions. This project proposes to use the mechanism of contingency to build a system that can learn dialogical rules through interaction by analyzing the effects of its own dialogue contributions. • History of social interaction: Emergence of top-down strategies from bottom-up social attentional processes. The development of top-down preferences for social cues helps infants to establish an enduring focus on, and give high priority to, the relevant information through its integration with saliency-based bottom-up processes (Golinkoff & Hirsh-Pasek, in press). Here we aim at investigating how such top-down strategies can be derived from basic mechanisms and how they require and advance system memory and learning capabilities. Integrating such a capability on a robot would enable the study of the influence of the environment and the history of social interaction on the emerging top- down processes, and allow the robot to gradually develop more focused top-down attentive behaviours shaped by joint social and bottom-up cues. We invite applications from motivated young scientists with a background in computer science, linguistics, psychology, robotics, mathematics, cognitive science or similar areas, that are willing to contribute to the cross-disciplinary research agenda of our research group. Research and development are directed towards understanding the processes and functional constituents of cognitive interaction, and establishing cognitive interfaces and robots that facilitate the use of complex technical systems. Bielefeld University provides a unique environment for research in cognitive and intelligent systems by bringing together researchers from all over the world in a variety of relevant disciplines under the roof of central institutions such as the Excellence Center of Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) or the Research Institute for Cognition and Robotics (CoR-Lab). Successful candidates should hold an academic degree (MSc/Diploma) in a related discipline and have a strong interest in research and social robotics. All applications should include: a short cover letter indicating the motivation and research interests of the candidate, a CV including a list of publications, and relevant certificates of academic qualification. Bielefeld University is an equal opportunity employer. Women are especially encouraged to apply and in the case of comparable competences and qualification, will be given preference. Bielefeld University explicitly encourages disabled people to apply. Bielefeld University offers a family friendly environment and special arrangements for child care and double carrier opportunities. Please send your application with reference to one of the two offered positions no later than 30.9.2009 to Ms Susanne Höke (shoeke at techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).

This interdisciplinary program provides training in typical (spoken and signed) and atypical language, and in the neural bases of language learning, use and loss. In Fall 2008, The SDSU programs moved into a new clinical, research and academic building with state-of-the-art Speech-Language and Audiology clinics, wonderful high-tech labs, and great new instructional facilities. These resources combined with the outstanding facilities at UCSD provide doctoral students with the best possible training environment. 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 may do so concurrently with their doctoral studies as our program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA). 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. For the past five years we have received funding through our NIH-NIDCD training grant “Neurocognitive Approaches to Communication Disorders” that provides up to two years of funding for trainees who have the appropriate interests and qualifications. The renewal application is currently under review. Contact Dr. Lew Shapiro (shapiro at mail.sdsu.edu) for more information regarding this training grant. ASHA CONVENTION 2009: Doctoral faculty will be attending ASHA in New Orleans in November.

I have a correction too. Not sure the original examples are Gruber's as I believe the reduced relative analysis was first proposed by Henry Hamburger (as well Hamburger and Crain?). I think all of them are some sort of relative structure food house = restaurant a house that has food witch's ride = broom a thing that witches ride Paris building = Eiffel Tower a building that is in Paris cooking glove = oven mitt a glove that is used for cooking baby napkin = bib a napkin that is used by/for babies Best, Susan On Sep 4, 11:50?am, William Snyder wrote: > One correction to my last message: > > William Snyder wrote: > > Now, the other three examples you mentioned are different: > > > "wash hands" = sink > > "daddy's read" = newspaper > > "witch's ride"= broom > > > These could conceivably be attempts at an adult-English reduced > > relative ("where you wash your hands", "what daddies (?) read", "what > > witches ride"). > > That should have been 'free relative', not 'reduced relative'. > > - William --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

The literature seems very sparse, so any studies that you are aware of will likely be very useful. AAE is a close match to Caribbean English in some respects and I've been able to identify some studies in this area (namely by Shelley Velleman and colleagues). If you don't know of any studies in Caribbean English, I would be grateful for any references that you might have on AAE. I am particularly interested in phonological development but other areas are also of interest. best wishes Ngoni ------------------------------------------------------------------ Ngoni Chipere PhD, Programme Coordinator APADD, Open Campus University of the West Indies Cave Hill, Barbados phone 1246 417 4996 --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

We are looking for two PhD candidates for the following projects: - Development of dialogical rules. - History of social interaction: Emergence of top-down strategies from bottom-up social attentional processes. Please see below for more details. Best regards, Katharina Rohlfing. --- PD Dr. Katharina J. Rohlfing Emergentist Semantics Group Center of Excellence Cognitive Interaction Technology Bielefeld University http://www.cit-ec.de/emergentistsemantics/index.html --- Job Offers The Applied Informatics Group, Faculty of Technology, Bielefeld University is looking for PhD candidates for project positions within the EU Initial Training Network ?RobotDoc? in the area of Social Learning and Interaction. We are looking for two PhD candidates for the following projects: ? Development of dialogical rules. The verbal and cognitive development of infants is rooted in dialogue with other people (e.g. parents, peers). However, there is little research on how infants develop the capability for dialogue. We hypothesize that contingency is a fundamental mechanism that may help infants to develop their basic interactive capabilities such as turn-taking (Masataka 2003). These capabilities guide their attention to opening phases of a dialogue, and even regulate their emotions. This project proposes to use the mechanism of contingency to build a system that can learn dialogical rules through interaction by analyzing the effects of its own dialogue contributions. ? History of social interaction: Emergence of top-down strategies from bottom-up social attentional processes. The development of top-down preferences for social cues helps infants to establish an enduring focus on, and give high priority to, the relevant information through its integration with saliency-based bottom-up processes (Golinkoff & Hirsh-Pasek, in press). Here we aim at investigating how such top-down strategies can be derived from basic mechanisms and how they require and advance system memory and learning capabilities. Integrating such a capability on a robot would enable the study of the influence of the environment and the history of social interaction on the emerging top- down processes, and allow the robot to gradually develop more focused top-down attentive behaviours shaped by joint social and bottom-up cues. We invite applications from motivated young scientists with a background in computer science, linguistics, psychology, robotics, mathematics, cognitive science or similar areas, that are willing to contribute to the cross-disciplinary research agenda of our research group. Research and development are directed towards understanding the processes and functional constituents of cognitive interaction, and establishing cognitive interfaces and robots that facilitate the use of complex technical systems. Bielefeld University provides a unique environment for research in cognitive and intelligent systems by bringing together researchers from all over the world in a variety of relevant disciplines under the roof of central institutions such as the Excellence Center of Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC) or the Research Institute for Cognition and Robotics (CoR-Lab). Successful candidates should hold an academic degree (MSc/Diploma) in a related discipline and have a strong interest in research and social robotics. All applications should include: a short cover letter indicating the motivation and research interests of the candidate, a CV including a list of publications, and relevant certificates of academic qualification. Bielefeld University is an equal opportunity employer. Women are especially encouraged to apply and in the case of comparable competences and qualification, will be given preference. Bielefeld University explicitly encourages disabled people to apply. Bielefeld University offers a family friendly environment and special arrangements for child care and double carrier opportunities. Please send your application with reference to one of the two offered positions no later than 30.9.2009 to Ms Susanne H?ke (shoeke at techfak.uni-bielefeld.de).

This interdisciplinary program provides training in typical (spoken and signed) and atypical language, and in the neural bases of language learning, use and loss. In Fall 2008, The SDSU programs moved into a new clinical, research and academic building with state-of-the-art Speech-Language and Audiology clinics, wonderful high-tech labs, and great new instructional facilities. These resources combined with the outstanding facilities at UCSD provide doctoral students with the best possible training environment. 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 may do so concurrently with their doctoral studies as our program is accredited by the Council on Academic Accreditation in Audiology and Speech-Language Pathology (CAA). 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. For the past five years we have received funding through our NIH-NIDCD training grant ?Neurocognitive Approaches to Communication Disorders? that provides up to two years of funding for trainees who have the appropriate interests and qualifications. The renewal application is currently under review. Contact Dr. Lew Shapiro (shapiro at mail.sdsu.edu) for more information regarding this training grant. ASHA CONVENTION 2009: Doctoral faculty will be attending ASHA in New Orleans in November.
