I bought it here in Canada. One advantage of the Edirol I used is that you can rename files right on the recorder; on the Panasonic you cannot. There are other pros and cons, but my research assistants involved in transcribing report that the recordings from the Panasonic are better!

If not, that could make a big difference. GIven that the RRUS-570 only records in MP3, it would be remarkable for it to be better than the Edirol in full CD format. Also, I would second Gary's note that the Zoom H2 has very confusing buttons and controls. In that regard, the Edirol R-09 (the model I have and which I recommend at http://talkbank.org/da/record.html) is much better. Also, as I note at that page, the BossMicro gets good reviews, but I haven't tested it out myself yet. In general, because we continually have discussion of these issues, I try to keep the information at http://talkbank.org/da/record.html accurate. So far, I haven't found anything in the discussion here so far to change what I have there, but this stuff is tricky and I can't test out every possible device. --Brian MacWhinney On Jul 14, 2010, at 9:58 AM, Diane Pesco wrote: > Hello, > I've used Edirol but have had equally good success with an inexpensive > (about $100) Panasonic RRUS-570 (or later models, if 570 discontinued, > e.g. 590 stores 2 GB) which also has a zoom.

For details, visit our web site: http://www.otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp/tcp/ The 12th Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics http://www.otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp Keio University, Mita, Tokyo March 11 and 12, 2011 THE TOKYO CONFERENCE ON PSYCHOLINGUISTICS welcomes papers that represent any scientific endeavor that addresses itself to "Plato’s Problem" concerning language acquisition: "How we can gain a rich linguistic system given our fragmentary and impoverished experience?" Its scope thus includes linguistic theory (phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics), L1 and L2 acquisition, language processing, and the neuroscience of language, among other topics. We believe that there are some types of studies which are suitable for oral presentations, and others, which are suitable for poster presentations. We would like to accept both types of studies at the Conference. The time for an oral presentation will be 20 minutes with a 10 minute discussion period (a total of 30 minutes). There is the possibility that some papers of outstanding quality will be given longer time slots (i.e., a 30 minute presentation with a 15 minute discussion period). Furthermore, the space allotted to a poster presentation will be 90 cm (width) x 180 cm (length). The guidelines for the abstract submission are as follows. Submissions that do not meet the guidelines will be rejected without review. 1. Only e-mail submissions will be accepted. 2. You may submit at most one single (sole-authored) paper and two joint (co- authored) papers. Namely you may submit any of the following: a. one sole-authored paper b. one sole-authored paper and one co-authored paper c. one sole-authored paper and two co-authored papers d. one co-authored paper e. two co-authored papers 3. The abstract must be received by November 30, 2010 by 11:59 pm JST (Japan Standard Time) via e-mail to: tcpabst2011 at otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp. This address will be effective from October 1 to November 30, 2010. Late submissions will not be accepted. Notification of receipt will be e-mailed to the first author shortly after receipt. 4. The subject of the e-mail should be "abstract". 5. The body of the e-mail should include: a) the author information (name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number; If your paper has multiple authors, provide information regarding all of the co-authors. And,　if you are in Japan, add kanji where relevant.), b) the type of presentation (Your choice will not be revealed to the reviewers, and thus will not influence the review process.), A) Oral B) Poster C) Either Poster or Oral c) the title of paper, d) the language(s) which you are focusing on in your paper, e) the field(s) which your abstract involves (e.g, Morphology, Phonetics, Phonology, Semantics, Syntax, Pragmatics, L1 acquisition, L2 acquisition, Language Processing, Neuroscience of Language, and so on), and f) 3 keywords/phrases that best describe your paper. 6. A PDF file of your abstract in English should be attached to the e-mail. Document files (e.g., MS Word format) cannot be accepted. If you have any problems in applying by e-mail with a PDF file attachment, do not hesitate to contact us. (The abstract, if accepted, will be photocopied to be included in the conference handbook and be placed on the TCP website.) Format the files of your abstracts as follows (including bibliography): a) The maximum length is 2 pages. b) A4 paper size c) Single-spaced d) The font size should be 12 point. For any fonts used, a font file should be attached. e) Do not add page numbers. f) The top margin of the first page must be more than 30mm. g) The other margins must be more than 18mm. h )Do not put your name on your abstract (The abstract reviews will be 　　　anonymous.). I) Put the title in the center of the top of the first page. 7. Please note that you cannot revise your abstract once it has been submitted. We will notify you of the results of our review process via e-mail by January 12, 2011 at the latest. Those who are accepted as speakers will be requested to reply within several days if they are willing to present their papers at TCP 2011. Please let us know if you plan to be away from e-mail in early January. In addition, we are planning to publish a volume of the conference proceedings. If your abstract is accepted, we will inform you of the details regarding this matter later. Most likely, you will be asked to e-mail us your paper as a MS Word and a PDF file attachment by mid-May 2011. Unfortunately, TCP has no funds for financial assistance. Participants are expected to make their own travel arrangements.

My colleague and I at Rutgers University are working on a project analyzing the acoustics of children¹s speech in different discourse contexts. We are interested in talking with anyone else who has experience measuring formant values in children¹s speech. We have very clear measures for F0, vowel intensity, vowel duration, and consonants, but are finding that it¹s a little challenging to obtain just the right settings for F1 and F2. The children are 3-5 years of age. We used an Edirol recorder and have been using Praat for acoustic analysis. If you have any advice or relevant references to share, please email me directly at k-syrett at ruccs.rutgers.edu. I will post a summary of responses I receive using the group email afterwards.

Psycholinguists, however, argue that children have not fully acquired the target range and functions of discourse cohesive means up to the age of 8 or even later. Considerably inconsistent claims have been made on when children acquire which knowledge and capabilities. At the same time, we are faced with great variation in the types of investigated discourse and research methods. Considering referential expressions (RE), there is, for instance, a debate on when and how children comprehend the discourse functions of definite vs. indefinite noun phrases. Experimental research (e.g. Schafer & de Viliers 2000) and studies of narrative data (e.g. Hickmann 2003) report an overuse of definite noun phrases until the age of 7. In contrast, studies of spontaneous speech do not report replacement of indefinite by definite noun phrases. Furthermore, experimental and narrative studies propose that children up to age 5 do not make anaphoric use of RE (e.g. Karmiloff-Smith 1981, 1985). According to these studies, definite noun phrases and demonstrative pronouns are used only deictically. This is mainly explained by deficits in theory of mind: young children are not able to take into account perspective and knowledge of their communication partners. Contrary to this, studies of pre-linguistic children (Tomasello 2009, Carpenter 2009) and early spontaneous speech (Matthews et al. 2006, Bittner 2007) found that children, to some extent, build a representation of their partner's cognitive status and interact appropriately. Focusing on RE, the workshop aims at discussing how to integrate the different results and perspectives with a realistic picture of children's knowledge on means of text coherence at the onset of school time. We invite studies dealing with production and comprehension of RE in mono- and multilingual acquisition up to the age of 6, and especially encourage work focusing on: - Same type(s) of RE in different types of discourse, e.g. longitudinal vs.experimental data - Same type(s) of RE investigated by different research methods, e.g. types of experiments - Consistency or change of oppositions between RE in different types of discourse. Papers should contribute to answering the following questions: - Which knowledge on RE do children process at which developmental stage? - Which system of RE do they have at the onset of school age? - What is the impact of different types of discourse (including context situation) on the treatment of RE? - Are there 'complexity' limits for processing the full knowledge on a RE? - Of what type are such limits?

The organization and program of the IASCL Montreal-2011 conference is progressing at a good pace. There are also important amendments and clarifications to announce. Please note that the submission deadlines have been extended by 2 weeks. August 15, 2010 is the deadline for symposia submissions. October 15, 2010 is the deadline for poster submissions. We have also received a few queries about authorship and responsibility for an abstract. Below is the clarification: There is one responsible person per abstract. Although co-authors and their affiliations may be listed in an abstract, a contributor may only be responsible for one oral (symposium) presentation and one poster presentation. Thus, a contributor may deliver not more than one oral presentation. Responsible authors appear as first author in the abstracts that they are presenting (one oral and/or one poster presentation). The number of times a contributor may be listed as a co‐ author is not limited. For further details, please see the amended call for abstracts at http://www.iascl2011.org/submission , or download it as a PDF file at http://www.iascl.org/media/pdfs/IASCL-2011-Amended-Call-For-Abstracts.pdf We look forward to reading your abstracts and seeing you in Montreal!

From cparisse at u-paris10.fr Tue Jul 20 06:53:42 2010 From: cparisse at u-paris10.fr (Christophe Parisse) Date: Tue, 20 Jul 2010 08:53:42 +0200 Subject: Call for participation: Tools and Research based on Language Acquisition Corpora (Paris, France) Message-ID: Appel à participation (entrée libre) _____ Outils et Recherches pour les Corpus d’Acquisition du Langage Tools and Research based on Language Acquisition Corpora Version française (see English version below) _____ Outils et Recherches pour les Corpus d’Acquisition du Langage 18-18 Novembre 2010, PARIS, FRANCE Lieu : 59 rue Pouchet, 75017 PARIS Contact : cparisse at u-paris10.fr Les corpus de langues orales ou signées sont aujourd’hui largement utilisés dans les recherches sur l’acquisition du langage. Cette évolution a nécessité de nouveaux outils, de nouvelles pratiques de recherche et de nouvelles théories qui ont amené des changements majeurs dans les recherches en linguistique et en acquisition du langage. Il est nécessaire de partager et diffuser auprès des chercheurs et des étudiants les résultats, les techniques et les transformations récentes qui résultent de cette évolution. En effet, ces produits viennent d’un effort collectif qu’il faut encourager et amplifier afin d’arriver à encore mieux créer, utiliser, partager, diffuser les données de corpus de langage spontané. C’est en utilisant mieux les outils et corpus récents que la recherche, nationale et internationale, pourra s’enrichir et prospérer. Pour cela, un workshop incluant des tutoriels et des présentations sur les outils et la recherche utilisant les corpus d’acquisition de langage sera organisé par le GDR « Langues, langage oral et cognition : acquisition et dysfonctionnements – nouvelles approches » et financé par le CNRS. Ce workshop est conçu pour : * présenter et introduire des outils utilisés fréquemment pour créer et éditer des corpus de langage oral (langues orales ou signées). Un tutoriel concernera les usages avancés des corpus ; * présenter et discuter les évolutions en matière d’outils pour corpus de langage oral ; * présenter et discuter l’intérêt et les apports des recherches utilisant des corpus de langage oral. Programme Jeudi 18 novembre 2010 (Tutoriels) * Présentation et introduction aux logiciels CLAN, ELAN, PHON ; transcription et utilisation pour la recherche. Les présentations se focaliseront sur les principes de bases et fourniront des exemples de recherches effectivement menées avec ces outils. Elles seront organisées sous forme de tutoriels et seront ouvertes à des utilisateurs novices. Les tutoriels dureront 1h1/2 et il sera possible d’assister à l’ensemble des tutoriels. * CLAN (Stéphanie Caet, Prismes – Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3). * ELAN (Simon Harrison, Natural Media & Engineering, Aachen University). * PHON (Naomi Yamaguchi, LPP – Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, SFL – CNRS-Paris 8). * Présentation d’utilisation de corpus déjà existants : comment traiter ces corpus, comment réaliser des statistiques, comment réaliser une analyse syntaxique ou lexicale. Cette présentation sera également réalisée sous la forme d’un tutoriel et visera plutôt des utilisateurs avancés, utilisant CLAN ou d’autres logiciels. * Christophe Parisse (MoDyCo-INSERM, CNRS-Université Paris Ouest Nanterre). * L’organisation de ces tutoriels pourra évoluer en fonction du nombre de personnes intéressées. Pour cela, toute personne intéressée par ces tutoriels doit écrire à Christophe Parisse (cparisse at u-paris10.fr) pour se préinscrire. Le nombre de places disponibles sera limité. Vendredi 19 novembre 2010 (Workshop) * Matin : Nouvelles tendances et évolutions dans les outils et les corpus de langage oral, annotation et traitement des corpus. Comment est-il possible d’utiliser efficacement des outils pour travailler sur l’acquisition du langage oral ? Quels avantages ces outils offrent-ils pour la recherche ? Quelles améliorations attendre en particulier dans le traitement de corpus multimédia et de langage oral ? Est-ce que les outils actuels vont évoluer ou de nouveaux outils vont-ils se développer ? Des présentations sur ces thèmes seront réalisés par : * Han Sloetjes (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, ELAN). * Michael Kipp (Saarland University, ANVIL). * Thomas Schmidt (Universität Hamburg, EXMARaLDA). * Après-midi : Nouvelles tendances dans les recherches en acquisition du langage. Qu’est-ce que l’utilisation de corpus a apporté aux recherches en acquisition du langage ? Comment ont évolué les liens entre recherche théorique et applications pratiques ? Des présentations seront réalisées par des invités sur des thèmes allant de la création de données de corpus à l’utilisation de ces données pour la recherche en acquisition du langage ou en linguistique computationnelle : * Elena Lieven (University of Manchester, UK; Max Planck Leipzig, Germany). * Susanne Miyata (Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Aichi, Japan). * Heidi Waterfall (Cornell University, NY). Le workshop et les tutoriels se dérouleront à Paris, au Laboratoire SFL (UMR 7023, CNRS), 59 rue Pouchet, PARIS.

This has required new tools, new research practices, new theories which has brought about ground breaking changes in research in linguistics and in psycholinguistics. These recent transformations, techniques and results need to be shared with a large community of researchers and students in the field of language acquisition. Creating, using, sharing, analyzing spontaneous oral data with the relevant tools for each researcher’s specific needs can only help improve and enrich national and international research on language acquisition, and collective efforts are needed to attain this goal. A Workshop including tutorials and various presentations, will be organized by the GDR “Language, oral language and cognition: Language acquisition – new approaches” and funded by the CNRS. This workshop is designed to: * present and provide introductions to tools used for creating and analyzing corpora of spontaneous oral (spoken and signed) language (separate tutorials will target beginners and advanced corpora users); * present and discuss trends about tools for oral language data; * present and discuss trends about research using oral language corpora. Program Thursday, November 18th 2010 (Tutorials) * Introductory presentations and examples of researches conducted using CLAN, ELAN, PHON. Presentations will focus on the basic requirements when using these tools and provide examples of actual research conducted with these tools. They will be organized as tutorials to provide basic information to new users. Three 1h ½ tutorials will be organized so that it will be possible to attend all tutorials. * CLAN (Stéphanie Caet, Prismes – Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3). * ELAN (Simon Harrison, Natural Media & Engineering, Aachen University). * PHON (Naomi Yamaguchi, LPP – Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, SFL – CNRS-Paris 8). * Presentation on using existing corpora: how to process them, how to obtain statistical results, how to generate syntactic and lexical analyses. This presentation will also be organized as a tutorial but will focus on more advanced users, for CLAN and other software. * Christophe Parisse (MoDyCo-INSERM, CNRS-Université Paris Ouest Nanterre). * The organization of the tutorials may change according to the number of people interested. Please send an e-mail to Christophe Parisse (cparisse at u-paris10.fr) to make a pre-registration. Friday, November 19th 2010 (Workshop) * Morning: New trends about tools for oral language corpus annotation and processing. How is it possible to use tools for research on Language Acquisition Corpora efficiently? What do these tools offer to the researcher? Which improvements, which changes are of interest to work with oral and multimodal language corpus? Will existing tools evolve or new tools develop? Invited speakers are: * Han Sloetjes (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, ELAN), * Michael Kipp (Saarland University, ANVIL), * Thomas Schmidt (Universität Hamburg, EXMARaLDA). * Afternoon: New trends in language acquisition research. What does corpus analysis bring to language acquisition research? How has it changed the relationship between theoretical and applied work? Invited speakers are: * Elena Lieven (University of Manchester, UK; Max Planck Leipzig, Germany), * Susanne Miyata (Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Aichi, Japan), * Heidi Waterfall (Cornell University, NY). The workshop will be held in Paris, at the SFL Lab (UMR 7023, CNRS), 59 rue Pouchet, Paris, FRANCE.

Journal of Child Language, published by Cambridge University Press, was launched in 1974 by Professor David Crystal. Since then it has established itself as a leading international journal publishing original research on all aspects of the scientific study of language behaviour in children. The journal has successfully forged links between many different areas of research including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach spans a wide range of interests: phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, or any other recognised facet of language study. In addition to articles, the journal contains a Brief Research Reports section and an occasional section containing a review article plus commentaries by a range of other researchers. Professors Philip Dale and Edith Bavin will be stepping down as editors over the course of 2011. In order to ensure a smooth transition, we are now inviting applications from those interested in taking on the editorship of the journal from any time after 1st January 2011 (exact start date open to negotiation), for an initial term of five years. The new Editor(s) will ‘shadow’ Edith and Philip from autumn 2010 so they might familiarise themselves with the working practices. All submissions are handled using the online peer-review system ScholarOne Manuscripts. The Editors are supported by an experienced Editorial Assistant and a team of six Associate Editors (http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayMoreInfo? jid=JCL&type=eb). Financial support in the form of an annual stipend will be available from Cambridge University Press. Attention to detail, excellent people skills and the ability to meet deadlines are essential. We are open to applications from individuals or editorial partnerships (based in North America, the UK or elsewhere). Interested applicants are invited to send a brief CV and covering letter to Cambridge University Press at the email addresses below. Covering letters should outline how the applicant(s) would approach the editorship, including: • thoughts on the future content and strategic direction of Journal of Child Language, development of the journal’s international profile and aims and scope • the day to day running of the journal editorial office • any institutional support available, including financial support and time allowed for journal work • details of any prior journals experience The total document should comprise no more than five pages. Applications (by e-mail) are welcome at any time up until 31st July 2010 and should be submitted to Martine Walsh at Cambridge University Press, e-mail: mwalsh at cambridge.org Any potential applicants who wish to discuss the role informally with the present editors should contact Professor Edith Bavin (e.bavin at latrobe.edu.au) or Professor Philip Dale (dalep at unm.edu) Enquiries about editorial, financial or contractual issues, may be made to Martine Walsh (mwalsh at cambridge.org). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

From edy.veneziano at paris5.sorbonne.fr Thu Jul 29 13:45:29 2010 From: edy.veneziano at paris5.sorbonne.fr (edy veneziano) Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:45:29 +0200 Subject: International Conference ComSym 2011 : February 2011 - 1st Announcement In-Reply-To: <58f00194-bbd1-47a6-af6c-953008ee0db6@t1g2000vbd.googlegroups.com> Message-ID: CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT International Conference ComSym 2011: Communicative and symbolic behaviors in children with autism: Functional specificities and conditions of appearance Paris, France, 4-5 February 2011 Children with autism are often characterized by their deficits. Thus, their poor communication, their lack of pretend play and/or imitation, their scarce understanding of others’ mental states, are considered as characteristic features of their pathology. Although, this remains generally true, facts are far from being so neat and clear-cut. Scientific observation of family videos and studies of children in supporting interactional contexts have shown that many children with autism do present some capacities in the above domains. And therapists working with them observe these capacities in their everyday practices. The aim of this conference is to provide a more precise understanding of the specificities of communicative and symbolic behaviors of children with autism, as well as to characterize under which conditions and how they occur, allowing to delineate their particular developmental profiles in comparison with that of typically developing children. Within this perspective, analyses that take into account the dynamics of interaction between partners will be emphasized. From a methodological standpoint, this conference will present a diversity of approaches (case studies, experimental studies, observation in controlled, semi-controlled or natural situations). Such diversity as well as the sharing of knowledge and experience between therapists and researchers, are expected to stimulate innovative research and intervention practices in the field. The conference will focus on the following topics: 1. The bases of communication: Emotion and sensorimotor behaviors 2. Indicators of implicit Theory of Mind 3. Symbolic abilities 4. Language and communication Scientific organizers of the Conference: Laurent Danon-Boileau (Université Paris Descartes, CNRS UMR 7114, MoDyCo) Marie-Hélène Plumet (Université Paris Descartes – INSERM U663) Edy Veneziano (Université Paris Descartes, CNRS UMR 7114, MoDyCo) Programmed Speakers Melissa Allen (Lancaster University, UK) Tony Charman (University of London, UK) Dorota Chadzynski (Centre d’Education, Paris) Laurent Danon Boileau (Université Paris Descartes - CNRS) Bruno Gepner (CH Montperrin, Aix-en-Provence, chercheur associé CNRS , Aix-Marseille) Peter Hobson (University College London, UK) Jessica Hobson (University College London, UK) Chris Jarrold (Bristol University, UK) Mary-Annick Morel (Université Paris3) Peter C.

They have been used with children in India (speakers of Kannada) and Hong Kong (Cantonese) with no problems. Set A has a giraffe and an elephant; many Canadian children did not recognize the giraffe, but it did not matter as we accepted whatever they chose to call it (horse, zebra, etc.) Good luck finding pictures-- Phyllis Schneider -----Original Message----- From: info-childes at googlegroups.com [mailto:info-childes at googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Nan Ratner Sent: Thursday, July 08, 2010 3:23 PM To: Info-CHILDES Cc: Arifi Waked Subject: arabic acquisition A doc student and I are starting a project to track outcomes in cochlear implant users in Saudi Arabia.

I bought it here in Canada. One advantage of the Edirol I used is that you can rename files right on the recorder; on the Panasonic you cannot. There are other pros and cons, but my research assistants involved in transcribing report that the recordings from the Panasonic are better! You'd have to check if you can transfer files back onto the recorder; I suspect so but never tried.

From macw at cmu.edu Wed Jul 14 15:18:24 2010 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2010 11:18:24 -0400 Subject: Digest for info-childes@googlegroups.com - 3 Messages in 1 Topic, In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dear Diane, Are you setting the option on the Edirol to record in high quality CD format? If not, that could make a big difference. GIven that the RRUS-570 only records in MP3, it would be remarkable for it to be better than the Edirol in full CD format. Also, I would second Gary's note that the Zoom H2 has very confusing buttons and controls. In that regard, the Edirol R-09 (the model I have and which I recommend at http://talkbank.org/da/record.html) is much better. Also, as I note at that page, the BossMicro gets good reviews, but I haven't tested it out myself yet. In general, because we continually have discussion of these issues, I try to keep the information at http://talkbank.org/da/record.html accurate. So far, I haven't found anything in the discussion here so far to change what I have there, but this stuff is tricky and I can't test out every possible device. --Brian MacWhinney On Jul 14, 2010, at 9:58 AM, Diane Pesco wrote: > Hello, > I've used Edirol but have had equally good success with an inexpensive > (about $100) Panasonic RRUS-570 (or later models, if 570 discontinued, > e.g. 590 stores 2 GB) which also has a zoom.

From kei at aya.yale.edu Thu Jul 15 01:02:20 2010 From: kei at aya.yale.edu (Kei Nakamura) Date: Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:02:20 +0900 Subject: TCP2011 Call For Papers Message-ID: The Institute of Cultural and Linguistic Studies at Keio University will be holding the 12th Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics(TCP 2011) on March 11 and 12, 2011. The invited speakers are Dr. Jeffrey Lidz, University of Maryland and Dr. Hisatsugu Kitahara, Keio University. We encourage you to submit abstracts for oral presentations and poster presentations. For details, visit our web site: http://www.otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp/tcp/ The 12th Tokyo Conference on Psycholinguistics http://www.otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp Keio University, Mita, Tokyo March 11 and 12, 2011 THE TOKYO CONFERENCE ON PSYCHOLINGUISTICS welcomes papers that represent any scientific endeavor that addresses itself to "Plato?s Problem" concerning language acquisition: "How we can gain a rich linguistic system given our fragmentary and impoverished experience?" Its scope thus includes linguistic theory (phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics), L1 and L2 acquisition, language processing, and the neuroscience of language, among other topics. We believe that there are some types of studies which are suitable for oral presentations, and others, which are suitable for poster presentations. We would like to accept both types of studies at the Conference. The time for an oral presentation will be 20 minutes with a 10 minute discussion period (a total of 30 minutes). There is the possibility that some papers of outstanding quality will be given longer time slots (i.e., a 30 minute presentation with a 15 minute discussion period). Furthermore, the space allotted to a poster presentation will be 90 cm (width) x 180 cm (length). The guidelines for the abstract submission are as follows. Submissions that do not meet the guidelines will be rejected without review. 1. Only e-mail submissions will be accepted. 2. You may submit at most one single (sole-authored) paper and two joint (co- authored) papers. Namely you may submit any of the following: a. one sole-authored paper b. one sole-authored paper and one co-authored paper c. one sole-authored paper and two co-authored papers d. one co-authored paper e. two co-authored papers 3. The abstract must be received by November 30, 2010 by 11:59 pm JST (Japan Standard Time) via e-mail to: tcpabst2011 at otsu.icl.keio.ac.jp. This address will be effective from October 1 to November 30, 2010. Late submissions will not be accepted. Notification of receipt will be e-mailed to the first author shortly after receipt. 4. The subject of the e-mail should be "abstract". 5. The body of the e-mail should include: a) the author information (name, affiliation, mailing address, e-mail address, and telephone number; If your paper has multiple authors, provide information regarding all of the co-authors. And,?if you are in Japan, add kanji where relevant.), b) the type of presentation (Your choice will not be revealed to the reviewers, and thus will not influence the review process.), A) Oral B) Poster C) Either Poster or Oral c) the title of paper, d) the language(s) which you are focusing on in your paper, e) the field(s) which your abstract involves (e.g, Morphology, Phonetics, Phonology, Semantics, Syntax, Pragmatics, L1 acquisition, L2 acquisition, Language Processing, Neuroscience of Language, and so on), and f) 3 keywords/phrases that best describe your paper. 6. A PDF file of your abstract in English should be attached to the e-mail. Document files (e.g., MS Word format) cannot be accepted. If you have any problems in applying by e-mail with a PDF file attachment, do not hesitate to contact us. (The abstract, if accepted, will be photocopied to be included in the conference handbook and be placed on the TCP website.) Format the files of your abstracts as follows (including bibliography): a) The maximum length is 2 pages. b) A4 paper size c) Single-spaced d) The font size should be 12 point. For any fonts used, a font file should be attached. e) Do not add page numbers. f) The top margin of the first page must be more than 30mm. g) The other margins must be more than 18mm. h )Do not put your name on your abstract (The abstract reviews will be ???anonymous.). I) Put the title in the center of the top of the first page. 7. Please note that you cannot revise your abstract once it has been submitted. We will notify you of the results of our review process via e-mail by January 12, 2011 at the latest. Those who are accepted as speakers will be requested to reply within several days if they are willing to present their papers at TCP 2011. Please let us know if you plan to be away from e-mail in early January. In addition, we are planning to publish a volume of the conference proceedings. If your abstract is accepted, we will inform you of the details regarding this matter later. Most likely, you will be asked to e-mail us your paper as a MS Word and a PDF file attachment by mid-May 2011. Unfortunately, TCP has no funds for financial assistance. Participants are expected to make their own travel arrangements.

My colleague and I at Rutgers University are working on a project analyzing the acoustics of children?s speech in different discourse contexts. We are interested in talking with anyone else who has experience measuring formant values in children?s speech. We have very clear measures for F0, vowel intensity, vowel duration, and consonants, but are finding that it?s a little challenging to obtain just the right settings for F1 and F2. The children are 3-5 years of age. We used an Edirol recorder and have been using Praat for acoustic analysis. If you have any advice or relevant references to share, please email me directly at k-syrett at ruccs.rutgers.edu. I will post a summary of responses I receive using the group email afterwards.

From gagarina at zas.gwz-berlin.de Thu Jul 15 22:29:11 2010 From: gagarina at zas.gwz-berlin.de (Natalia Gagarina) Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2010 00:29:11 +0200 Subject: Call for papers: Referential Expressions and Text Coherence at the Onset of School Age Message-ID: Workshop: Full Title: Referential Expressions and Text Coherence at the Onset of School Age Short Title: Referential Expressions Date: 23-Feb-2011 - 25-Feb-2011 Location: G?ttingen, Germany Contact Person: Dagmar Bittner Meeting Email: bittnerzas.gwz-berlin.de Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis; Language Acquisition; Psycholinguistics Call Deadline: 01-Sep-2010 Meeting Description: 'Referential Expressions and Text Coherence at the Onset of School Age' Organizers: Dagmar Bittner and Nadja K?hn (ZAS, Berlin) Workshop organized as part of the Annual Conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS) to be held in Goettingen, Germany, February 23-25, 2011 Call for Papers When starting school, children are expected to produce and comprehend complex texts. Psycholinguists, however, argue that children have not fully acquired the target range and functions of discourse cohesive means up to the age of 8 or even later. Considerably inconsistent claims have been made on when children acquire which knowledge and capabilities. At the same time, we are faced with great variation in the types of investigated discourse and research methods. Considering referential expressions (RE), there is, for instance, a debate on when and how children comprehend the discourse functions of definite vs. indefinite noun phrases. Experimental research (e.g. Schafer & de Viliers 2000) and studies of narrative data (e.g. Hickmann 2003) report an overuse of definite noun phrases until the age of 7. In contrast, studies of spontaneous speech do not report replacement of indefinite by definite noun phrases. Furthermore, experimental and narrative studies propose that children up to age 5 do not make anaphoric use of RE (e.g. Karmiloff-Smith 1981, 1985). According to these studies, definite noun phrases and demonstrative pronouns are used only deictically. This is mainly explained by deficits in theory of mind: young children are not able to take into account perspective and knowledge of their communication partners. Contrary to this, studies of pre-linguistic children (Tomasello 2009, Carpenter 2009) and early spontaneous speech (Matthews et al. 2006, Bittner 2007) found that children, to some extent, build a representation of their partner's cognitive status and interact appropriately. Focusing on RE, the workshop aims at discussing how to integrate the different results and perspectives with a realistic picture of children's knowledge on means of text coherence at the onset of school time. We invite studies dealing with production and comprehension of RE in mono- and multilingual acquisition up to the age of 6, and especially encourage work focusing on: - Same type(s) of RE in different types of discourse, e.g. longitudinal vs.experimental data - Same type(s) of RE investigated by different research methods, e.g. types of experiments - Consistency or change of oppositions between RE in different types of discourse. Papers should contribute to answering the following questions: - Which knowledge on RE do children process at which developmental stage? - Which system of RE do they have at the onset of school age? - What is the impact of different types of discourse (including context situation) on the treatment of RE? - Are there 'complexity' limits for processing the full knowledge on a RE? - Of what type are such limits?

The organization and program of the IASCL Montreal-2011 conference is progressing at a good pace. There are also important amendments and clarifications to announce. Please note that the submission deadlines have been extended by 2 weeks. August 15, 2010 is the deadline for symposia submissions. October 15, 2010 is the deadline for poster submissions. We have also received a few queries about authorship and responsibility for an abstract. Below is the clarification: There is one responsible person per abstract. Although co-authors and their affiliations may be listed in an abstract, a contributor may only be responsible for one oral (symposium) presentation and one poster presentation. Thus, a contributor may deliver not more than one oral presentation. Responsible authors appear as first author in the abstracts that they are presenting (one oral and/or one poster presentation). The number of times a contributor may be listed as a co? author is not limited. For further details, please see the amended call for abstracts at http://www.iascl2011.org/submission , or download it as a PDF file at http://www.iascl.org/media/pdfs/IASCL-2011-Amended-Call-For-Abstracts.pdf We look forward to reading your abstracts and seeing you in Montreal!

This has required new tools, new research practices, new theories which has brought about ground breaking changes in research in linguistics and in psycholinguistics. These recent transformations, techniques and results need to be shared with a large community of researchers and students in the field of language acquisition. Creating, using, sharing, analyzing spontaneous oral data with the relevant tools for each researcher?s specific needs can only help improve and enrich national and international research on language acquisition, and collective efforts are needed to attain this goal. A Workshop including tutorials and various presentations, will be organized by the GDR ?Language, oral language and cognition: Language acquisition ? new approaches? and funded by the CNRS. This workshop is designed to: * present and provide introductions to tools used for creating and analyzing corpora of spontaneous oral (spoken and signed) language (separate tutorials will target beginners and advanced corpora users); * present and discuss trends about tools for oral language data; * present and discuss trends about research using oral language corpora. Program Thursday, November 18th 2010 (Tutorials) * Introductory presentations and examples of researches conducted using CLAN, ELAN, PHON. Presentations will focus on the basic requirements when using these tools and provide examples of actual research conducted with these tools. They will be organized as tutorials to provide basic information to new users. Three 1h ? tutorials will be organized so that it will be possible to attend all tutorials. * CLAN (St?phanie Caet, Prismes ? Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3). * ELAN (Simon Harrison, Natural Media & Engineering, Aachen University). * PHON (Naomi Yamaguchi, LPP ? Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, SFL ? CNRS-Paris 8). * Presentation on using existing corpora: how to process them, how to obtain statistical results, how to generate syntactic and lexical analyses. This presentation will also be organized as a tutorial but will focus on more advanced users, for CLAN and other software. * Christophe Parisse (MoDyCo-INSERM, CNRS-Universit? Paris Ouest Nanterre). * The organization of the tutorials may change according to the number of people interested. Please send an e-mail to Christophe Parisse (cparisse at u-paris10.fr) to make a pre-registration. Friday, November 19th 2010 (Workshop) * Morning: New trends about tools for oral language corpus annotation and processing. How is it possible to use tools for research on Language Acquisition Corpora efficiently? What do these tools offer to the researcher? Which improvements, which changes are of interest to work with oral and multimodal language corpus? Will existing tools evolve or new tools develop? Invited speakers are: * Han Sloetjes (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, ELAN), * Michael Kipp (Saarland University, ANVIL), * Thomas Schmidt (Universit?t Hamburg, EXMARaLDA). * Afternoon: New trends in language acquisition research. What does corpus analysis bring to language acquisition research? How has it changed the relationship between theoretical and applied work? Invited speakers are: * Elena Lieven (University of Manchester, UK; Max Planck Leipzig, Germany), * Susanne Miyata (Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences, Aichi, Japan), * Heidi Waterfall (Cornell University, NY). The workshop will be held in Paris, at the SFL Lab (UMR 7023, CNRS), 59 rue Pouchet, Paris, FRANCE.

The first child that she had contributed was named Lilia and the new corpus is from Minu. Lilia was studied in 31 sessions from 1;11 to 2;10 and Minu in 104 sessions from 4;1 to 5;2. All of the files are fully linked to audio and coded morphologically on the %mor line. Many thanks to Neiloufar for this second corpus. --Brian MacWhinney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

Journal of Child Language, published by Cambridge University Press, was launched in 1974 by Professor David Crystal. Since then it has established itself as a leading international journal publishing original research on all aspects of the scientific study of language behaviour in children. The journal has successfully forged links between many different areas of research including psychology, linguistics, cognitive science and anthropology. This interdisciplinary approach spans a wide range of interests: phonology, phonetics, morphology, syntax, vocabulary, semantics, pragmatics, sociolinguistics, or any other recognised facet of language study. In addition to articles, the journal contains a Brief Research Reports section and an occasional section containing a review article plus commentaries by a range of other researchers. Professors Philip Dale and Edith Bavin will be stepping down as editors over the course of 2011. In order to ensure a smooth transition, we are now inviting applications from those interested in taking on the editorship of the journal from any time after 1st January 2011 (exact start date open to negotiation), for an initial term of five years. The new Editor(s) will ?shadow? Edith and Philip from autumn 2010 so they might familiarise themselves with the working practices. All submissions are handled using the online peer-review system ScholarOne Manuscripts. The Editors are supported by an experienced Editorial Assistant and a team of six Associate Editors (http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayMoreInfo? jid=JCL&type=eb). Financial support in the form of an annual stipend will be available from Cambridge University Press. Attention to detail, excellent people skills and the ability to meet deadlines are essential. We are open to applications from individuals or editorial partnerships (based in North America, the UK or elsewhere). Interested applicants are invited to send a brief CV and covering letter to Cambridge University Press at the email addresses below. Covering letters should outline how the applicant(s) would approach the editorship, including: ? thoughts on the future content and strategic direction of Journal of Child Language, development of the journal?s international profile and aims and scope ? the day to day running of the journal editorial office ? any institutional support available, including financial support and time allowed for journal work ? details of any prior journals experience The total document should comprise no more than five pages. Applications (by e-mail) are welcome at any time up until 31st July 2010 and should be submitted to Martine Walsh at Cambridge University Press, e-mail: mwalsh at cambridge.org Any potential applicants who wish to discuss the role informally with the present editors should contact Professor Edith Bavin (e.bavin at latrobe.edu.au) or Professor Philip Dale (dalep at unm.edu) Enquiries about editorial, financial or contractual issues, may be made to Martine Walsh (mwalsh at cambridge.org). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

From edy.veneziano at paris5.sorbonne.fr Thu Jul 29 13:45:29 2010 From: edy.veneziano at paris5.sorbonne.fr (edy veneziano) Date: Thu, 29 Jul 2010 15:45:29 +0200 Subject: International Conference ComSym 2011 : February 2011 - 1st Announcement In-Reply-To: <58f00194-bbd1-47a6-af6c-953008ee0db6@t1g2000vbd.googlegroups.com> Message-ID: CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT International Conference ComSym 2011: Communicative and symbolic behaviors in children with autism: Functional specificities and conditions of appearance Paris, France, 4-5 February 2011 Children with autism are often characterized by their deficits. Thus, their poor communication, their lack of pretend play and/or imitation, their scarce understanding of others? mental states, are considered as characteristic features of their pathology. Although, this remains generally true, facts are far from being so neat and clear-cut. Scientific observation of family videos and studies of children in supporting interactional contexts have shown that many children with autism do present some capacities in the above domains. And therapists working with them observe these capacities in their everyday practices. The aim of this conference is to provide a more precise understanding of the specificities of communicative and symbolic behaviors of children with autism, as well as to characterize under which conditions and how they occur, allowing to delineate their particular developmental profiles in comparison with that of typically developing children. Within this perspective, analyses that take into account the dynamics of interaction between partners will be emphasized. From a methodological standpoint, this conference will present a diversity of approaches (case studies, experimental studies, observation in controlled, semi-controlled or natural situations). Such diversity as well as the sharing of knowledge and experience between therapists and researchers, are expected to stimulate innovative research and intervention practices in the field. The conference will focus on the following topics: 1. The bases of communication: Emotion and sensorimotor behaviors 2. Indicators of implicit Theory of Mind 3. Symbolic abilities 4.
