From mariateresa.guasti at unimib.it Mon Jan 3 14:21:37 2011 From: mariateresa.guasti at unimib.it (mariateresa.guasti) Date: Mon, 3 Jan 2011 15:21:37 +0100 Subject: Psycholinguistics Postdoctoral Fellowship Fondazione Marica De Vincenzi Message-ID: Psycholinguistics Postdoctoral Fellowship   The Marica De Vincenzi Foundation Onlus is inviting application for a 1-year fellowship, US $37,500 plus economy air fare, for Italian students to pursue post-doctoral study preferably in the US or in another country (Italy excluded), beginning in Fall 2011. The fellowship is for study and research in the area of grammatically-oriented psycholinguistics at an institution of the applicant's choice. Applications should be received by February 20, 2011 and it is expected that a decision will be announced by April 2, 2011.   Applications should be submitted electronically, in English, and should include: -CV, including evidence of competence in spoken English -A four-page statement of purpose describing the proposed plan of study/research -Papers, reports, Ph.D dissertation written in English or Italian by the candidate. If the dissertation was written in Italian, the candidate should provide a 12 page summary written in English. -The name and contact information for a sponsor at the University or research centre chosen, accompanied by a letter of agreement from the sponsor indicating the individual's willingness to serve as a sponsor if the fellowship is awarded Candidates should arrange for three referees to submit confidential letters of reference via email borsedistudio at fondazionedevincenzi.org Please write in the subject: F2011 In case the candidate does not hold the PhD at the deadline of submission of the application, the faculty advisor should send a statement of assurance that the PhD will be completed by July 31st, 2011. In the evaluation of applications, the scholarly strength of the candidate, as well as the feasibility of the proposed research and its impact upon the applicant's career and potential for future impact on psycholinguistics in Italy, will be considered.   Applicants who plan to remain in their current institution should provide justification, and in cases of projects that require more than one year it is helpful to provide information on possible sources of funding beyond the initial year.   The amount of the fellowship will be deposited on a bank account the candidate will indicate as follows: US $ 14,000 at departure, US $ 12,500 in March and the remaining US $ 11,000 in October upon receiving a report of the activities carried out. This report will be approved and signed by the sponsor of the host Institution and sent to the Fondazione. Should the fellowship holder decide to stop working on the project before the agreed period, or to take up a paid position, the amount of the award paid will be reduced proportionally (about US $ 3.100 per month).   In due time the winner of the fellowship must send info about IBAN and bank account, about having obtained a valid visa (if required) for the intended period, and arrival and departure dates and locations.   The Fondazione expects the fellowship holder to acknowledge the Fondazione Marica De Vincenzi onlus in presentations at conferences during the year they are financially supported by the Fondazione, as well as in papers stemming from the research activity carried out in this period. Also, the fellows’ scientific involvement in the Fondazione’s research and training will be greatly appreciated.   Applications should be submitted to: borsedistudio at fondazionedevincenzi.org  Receipt of all submitted material will be acknowledged by email.  The Marica De Vincenzi Foundation Onlus was established in the will of the late Italian psycholinguist Marica de Vincenzi for the support of young Italian scholars who intend to carry out research abroad in the domain of grammatically-oriented psycholinguistics preferably at US institutions (but other countries, except for Italy are eligible) of the applicant's choice. The scientific committee includes Lyn Frazier as president, Maria Teresa Guasti as vice-president, Janet Dean Fodor, Colin Phillips and Luigi Rizzi. Head of the administrative board is Remo Job.       -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

Message-ID: Hello, I am a student of Phonetics at the Croatian Faculty of social sciences in Zagreb and I am writing an essay on CHILDES. I apologize in advance if the following questions may seem odd or naive, but I am trying to understand the purpose of this database. I understand that people use it in their research of first language acquisition, as it is defined in the Wikipedia and other online articles I have viewed. But how does that data actually help a researcher? What does that researcher do with that data? While browsing randomly through the database I have viewed some clips and transcripts on it and it just seems like children talking with their parents, how does that help? What would a researcher have to do if CHILDES didn't exist? How would he or she conduct research without it? Mind you, I have never conducted any similar research so that is probably why the function of CHILDES eludes me, and my professor said I need to pay special attention to explaining its purpose. I know all these questions make me seem shortsighted and a complete layman, and I feel like I am going to be flameposted to a crisp :), but if anyone can answer them I would deeply appreciate it. Thank you in advance. *puts on asbestos suit* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

From macw at cmu.edu Wed Jan 5 17:44:03 2011 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2011 12:44:03 -0500 Subject: Purpose of CHILDES? In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dear David, Thanks to Diane for pointing out some of the crucial information you can use for your project. Let me add a few things for your essay. Often people in child language like to compute numbers to characterize corpora. They may want to track overall development, single-subject development, or make group comparisons. To do this, they can use programs like MLU, VOCD, KWAL, MOR, MORTABLE, DSS, and so on to tabulate frequencies by lexical type, syntactic type, and so on. To understand this you could learn the various programs included in CLAN, which you could download from the CHILDES home page. Also, you could begin to focus on some topic area and then read the relevant literature that has been published on the subject. If you click on the link called "Research based on CHILDES" it will take you to http://talkbank.org/usage/, where you will find a link to a bibliography of 3200 articles based on use of the CHILDES data. The data can also be used for focused analysis of phonological development. Take a look at the PhonBank project for that. And they can be used for computational modeling of language acquisition. A recent issue of the Journal of Child Language has a set of 8 papers that illustrate some of these uses. I could add more, but I think the main thing here is to give you a bit of direction for narrowing down your questions.

Message-ID: Dear InfoChildes and Orangeman, Just another 2-cents: In thinking of how researchers use the database, I am reminded of the letters many of us wrote when the funding was up for renewal. Numbers of themspoke directly to David's question, "What would people do if there were no CHILDES?" At one point, Brian put them in one document. It's probably more than he needs to read, but perhaps they are available, at least in an archive of the listserv. Are they? Another use of the database is for teaching, not just in classes, but to bring research assistants up to speed before turning them loose on your own data.

The Marica De Vincenzi Foundation Onlus is inviting application for a 1-year fellowship, US $37,500 plus economy air fare, for Italian students to pursue post-doctoral study preferably in the US or in another country (Italy excluded), beginning in Fall 2011. The fellowship is for study and research in the area of grammatically-oriented psycholinguistics at an institution of the applicant's choice. Applications should be received by February 20, 2011 and it is expected that a decision will be announced by April 2, 2011. ? Applications should be submitted electronically, in English, and should include: -CV, including evidence of competence in spoken English -A four-page statement of purpose describing the proposed plan of study/research -Papers, reports, Ph.D dissertation written in English or Italian by the candidate. If the dissertation was written in Italian, the candidate should provide a 12 page summary written in English. -The name and contact information for a sponsor at the University or research centre chosen, accompanied by a letter of agreement from the sponsor indicating the individual's willingness to serve as a sponsor if the fellowship is awarded Candidates should arrange for three referees to submit confidential letters of reference via email borsedistudio at fondazionedevincenzi.org Please write in the subject: F2011 In case the candidate does not hold the PhD at the deadline of submission of the application, the faculty advisor should send a statement of assurance that the PhD will be completed by July 31st, 2011. In the evaluation of applications, the scholarly strength of the candidate, as well as the feasibility of the proposed research and its impact upon the applicant's career and potential for future impact on psycholinguistics in Italy, will be considered. ? Applicants who plan to remain in their current institution should provide justification, and in cases of projects that require more than one year it is helpful to provide information on possible sources of funding beyond the initial year. ? The amount of the fellowship will be deposited on a bank account the candidate will indicate as follows: US $ 14,000 at departure, US $ 12,500 in March and the remaining US $ 11,000 in October upon receiving a report of the activities carried out. This report will be approved and signed by the sponsor of the host Institution and sent to the Fondazione. Should the fellowship holder decide to stop working on the project before the agreed period, or to take up a paid position, the amount of the award paid will be reduced proportionally (about US $ 3.100 per month). ? In due time the winner of the fellowship must send info about IBAN and bank account, about having obtained a valid visa (if required) for the intended period, and arrival and departure dates and locations. ? The Fondazione expects the fellowship holder to acknowledge the Fondazione Marica De Vincenzi onlus in presentations at conferences during the year they are financially supported by the Fondazione, as well as in papers stemming from the research activity carried out in this period. Also, the fellows? scientific involvement in the Fondazione?s research and training will be greatly appreciated. ? Applications should be submitted to: borsedistudio at fondazionedevincenzi.org ?Receipt of all submitted material will be acknowledged by email.? The Marica De Vincenzi Foundation Onlus was established in the will of the late Italian psycholinguist Marica de Vincenzi for the support of young Italian scholars who intend to carry out research abroad in the domain of grammatically-oriented psycholinguistics preferably at US institutions (but other countries, except for Italy are eligible) of the applicant's choice. The scientific committee includes Lyn Frazier as president, Maria Teresa Guasti as vice-president, Janet Dean Fodor, Colin Phillips and Luigi Rizzi.

Message-ID: Hello, I am a student of Phonetics at the Croatian Faculty of social sciences in Zagreb and I am writing an essay on CHILDES. I apologize in advance if the following questions may seem odd or naive, but I am trying to understand the purpose of this database. I understand that people use it in their research of first language acquisition, as it is defined in the Wikipedia and other online articles I have viewed. But how does that data actually help a researcher? What does that researcher do with that data? While browsing randomly through the database I have viewed some clips and transcripts on it and it just seems like children talking with their parents, how does that help? What would a researcher have to do if CHILDES didn't exist? How would he or she conduct research without it? Mind you, I have never conducted any similar research so that is probably why the function of CHILDES eludes me, and my professor said I need to pay special attention to explaining its purpose. I know all these questions make me seem shortsighted and a complete layman, and I feel like I am going to be flameposted to a crisp :), but if anyone can answer them I would deeply appreciate it.

From macw at cmu.edu Wed Jan 5 17:44:03 2011 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2011 12:44:03 -0500 Subject: Purpose of CHILDES? In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dear David, Thanks to Diane for pointing out some of the crucial information you can use for your project. Let me add a few things for your essay. Often people in child language like to compute numbers to characterize corpora. They may want to track overall development, single-subject development, or make group comparisons. To do this, they can use programs like MLU, VOCD, KWAL, MOR, MORTABLE, DSS, and so on to tabulate frequencies by lexical type, syntactic type, and so on. To understand this you could learn the various programs included in CLAN, which you could download from the CHILDES home page. Also, you could begin to focus on some topic area and then read the relevant literature that has been published on the subject. If you click on the link called "Research based on CHILDES" it will take you to http://talkbank.org/usage/, where you will find a link to a bibliography of 3200 articles based on use of the CHILDES data. The data can also be used for focused analysis of phonological development. Take a look at the PhonBank project for that. And they can be used for computational modeling of language acquisition. A recent issue of the Journal of Child Language has a set of 8 papers that illustrate some of these uses. I could add more, but I think the main thing here is to give you a bit of direction for narrowing down your questions. Good luck with your essay, -- Brian MacWhinney On Jan 5, 2011, at 6:39 AM, Orangeman wrote > Hello, I am a student of Phonetics at the Croatian Faculty of social > sciences in Zagreb and I am writing an essay on CHILDES. > > I apologize in advance if the following questions may seem odd or > naive, but I am trying to understand the purpose of this database.

From bpearson at research.umass.edu Wed Jan 5 18:28:30 2011 From: bpearson at research.umass.edu (Barbara Zurer Pearson) Date: Wed, 5 Jan 2011 13:28:30 -0500 Subject: Purpose of CHILDES? Message-ID: Dear InfoChildes and Orangeman, Just another 2-cents: In thinking of how researchers use the database, I am reminded of the letters many of us wrote when the funding was up for renewal. Numbers of themspoke directly to David's question, "What would people do if there were no CHILDES?" At one point, Brian put them in one document. It's probably more than he needs to read, but perhaps they are available, at least in an archive of the listserv. Are they? Another use of the database is for teaching, not just in classes, but to bring research assistants up to speed before turning them loose on your own data. Cheers, Happy 1/1/11 and the subsequent 364 days to everyone.
