It will be preceded by a Young Researchers Workshop on 26 June 2012 (same venue), in which young researchers will present their ongoing dissertation projects and current work. The goals of LCM conferences are to contribute to situating the study of language in a contemporary interdisciplinary dialogue (involving philosophy, linguistics, psychology, anthropology, semiotics and other related fields), and to promote a better integration of cognitive and cultural perspectives in empirical and theoretical studies of language. http://www.salc-sssk.org/lcm/ Plenary speakers: · Nick Enfield, Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen http://www.mpi.nl/people/enfield-nick · Cynthia Lightfoot, Department of Human Development and Family Studies, Pennsylvania State University http://www.brandywine.psu.edu/Academics/faculty_cgl3.htm · Dan Slobin, Departments of Psychology and Linguistics, University of California, Berkeley http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/people/person_detail.php?person=35 · Beata Stawarska, Department of Philosophy, University of Oregon http://pages.uoregon.edu/uophil/faculty/profiles/stawarsk/ · Sherman Wilcox, Department of Linguistics, University of New Mexico http://web.mac.com/swilcox/UNM/Welcome.html The theme for LCM V is: Integrating Semiotic Resources in Communication and Creativity The conference will include two round tables on the sub-themes: * Multimodality in communication and performance * Creativity, imagination and innovation We invite submissions of individual papers, posters and symposium proposals. Formats: * Individual research papers Name, affiliation, 400 word abstract. 20 min presentation + 10 minute discussion. * Individual poster Name, affiliation, 100 word abstract. 1 minute oral presentation in the main lecture hall, preceding the poster session. * Symposia 90-minute symposia of 3 papers, allowing time for discussion at the end. Up to two 90-minute symposia may be merged for proposals with 5-6 participants. Papers in each symposium should be thematically linked. Proposals for thematic symposia should include: - symposium title - name and affiliation of symposium convener - an introduction of up to 400 words explaining the theme - all symposium abstracts, in suitable order. Symposium proposers should indicate whether, if a symposium is not accepted as a whole, they wish the individual abstracts to be considered as individual presentations (oral or poster) Deadline for abstract submission of symposia: Nov 15, 2011. Deadline for abstract submission of individual papers and posters: Dec 15, 2011. Abstracts should be sent as .rtf or .doc attachments to lcmv.lisbon2012 at gmail.com Important dates · Deadline for abstract submission (symposia): 15 Nov 2011 · Deadline for abstract submission (papers, posters): 15 Dec 2011 · Notification of acceptance (symposia): 15 Jan 2012 · Notification of acceptance (papers, posters): 15 Feb 2012 · Last date for early registration: 1 Mar 2012 · Last date for registration: 1 May 2012 · Final program publication: 15 May 2012 Young Researchers Workshop The LCM V Young Researchers Workshop is a satellite event of the LCM V conference, aimed at graduate students and junior scholars conducting theoretical or empirical research in language and communication including, but not limited to cognitive, social, affective, embodied and/or cultural perspectives. The workshop aims at providing a forum for presenting results and foster interaction and debate in the context of interdisciplinary collaboration. Young researchers in anthropology, biology, linguistics, philosophy, psychology, semiotics, ognitive and neuroscience are invited to share, and thereby enrich, their study of human natural language and communication. A specialist’s comment on each accepted contribution makes the workshop a unique opportunity to receive expert feedback.

However, I realize that this is heavy-handed and impolite. So, in the future, I will only reply in a separate message to the person posting the query. I will answer their questions directly and still encourage them to use chibolts list in the future. I will no longer post reminders to info-childes about this separation of the two lists and particularly I will not make any such posts directly after a person has posted a query of this type. Hopefully, we can still keep the lists separate in this way these heavy-handed interventions on my part. -- Brian MacWhinney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

You then specify the speaker code, in this case *CHI stands for "child", then using the +s flag followed by double quotation marks and an * you specify the string you are looking for, and then write the file name (instead of the xxx) and press ENTER.

I have to disagree on the second point, about age norms derived from the CDI. These judgements are made with respect to a *concurrent* situation with respect to a specific child. The parent is not making a judgement of age of acquisition; simply a yes/no judgement about their own child. The AoA comes from aggregating across parents. There is pretty good agreement between CDI norms and information derived from CHILDES transcripts (not that one would expect perfect agreement; transcripts often miss low-frequency words). And Goodman et al (2008) showed substantial correlation between CDI norms for words and frequency of use in parental input (at least *within* categories).

The richness, diversity, and complexity of the pragmatic and linguistic devices that have to be followed in order to produce and comprehend a coherent discourse make this arguably one of the most challenging tasks in language acquisition. Children have to figure out the structure and content of the macro-parts, i.e. who is acting where and when, what happened and what follows from what happened. In addition, there is a broad range of linguistic means of discourse cohesion which are, at least partially, interacting with each other. Most of them are linked to pragmatic interpretations and to the internal non-linguistic knowledge and emotional states of the communication partner(s). The conference will address the micro-level of discourse structure and present current research on the acquisition of the various phenomena that ensure coherence in discourse. In order to open our eyes to the complexity of the domain and the possible interactions between the diverse phenomena, we invite papers investigating children’s development into discourse coherence from all angles and perspectives. Currently, the main body of research focuses on referential expressions with respect to e.g. the introduction and maintenance of referents, topic-sensitivity, and anaphoric capacity. More recently, the role of coherence relations expressed by different types of connectors and the impact of verb semantics in discourse continuation have become of interest. However, apart from the early studies from the 1980s, not much work has been done on time reference and tense/aspect chains in discourse. Little is known about the influence of epistemic, modal, and several other types of expressions. The same holds for the influence of context information, the impact of prosodic information, and the treatment of focus. The conference provides the opportunity to discuss the broad range of discourse cohesive means and the methods of their investigation from different theoretical perspectives. We especially encourage the presentation of papers focusing on the following aspects: - correlations and interactions between different types of discourse cohesive means - correlations between discourse cohesive means and non-linguistic phenomena such as emotional states, discourse context, etc. - the role of theory of mind - the acquisition of pragmatic implicatures in the use of discourse cohesive means - acquisitional milestones and paths in the development of discourse abilities - processing of discourse cohesive means - the interaction of discourse cohesive means with parameters of information structure - acquisition in mono- and bilingual children as well as in SLI children Invited speakers: Jacqueline Evers-Vermeul Juhani Järvikivi Tom Roeper Abstracts of max. 500 words (not including references) should be sent as a pdf-file by the 19th of September 2011 to: dicma at zas.gwz-berlin.de Please provide name(s) of author(s) and affiliation(s) in the text of the email and do not mention it in the abstract file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

We will now compare the data to monolingual speakers from Luxembourg and Portugal. One thing I would be concerned about when comparing task performance in the same individual across languages using different versions of a test is that you can not be sure that word frequencies are controlled. At least this was the case for Luxembourgish and Portuguese for which no norms on the PPVT exist - maybe for Mandarin this is different . Also in case there is not a published Mandarin version of the PPVT you might want to keep in mind that Pearson charges a relatively steep translation fee. Have you considered using an expressive vocabulary test? This would partially get you around the problem of administrating exactly the same test twice to the same kids. In addition it would give you some interesting information on the lexical knowledge that is shared across languages and that is specific to each language.

I know it is not usually used to measure receptive vocabulary, but the Dutch CDI (Toddler form) does include receptive vocabulary and the parents in our study of Dutch- French bilingual toddlers had no trouble ticking those Dutch words they thought their 20-month-old understood. Of course, you're dealing with older children, but I think that if the main purpose is to have a rough idea of comparative vocabulary size in each language it is OK to use the CDI as suggested. However, there are some methodological issues involved in collecting the data. A description of how we did this for a group of bilingual children can be found in De Houwer, A., M.H. Bornstein & S.

I have to disagree on the second point, about age norms derived from the CDI. These judgements are made with respect to a *concurrent* situation with respect to a specific child. The parent is not making a judgement of age of acquisition; simply a yes/no judgement about their own child. The AoA comes from aggregating across parents. There is pretty good agreement between CDI norms and information derived from CHILDES transcripts (not that one would expect perfect agreement; transcripts often miss low-frequency words). And Goodman et al (2008) showed substantial correlation between CDI norms for words and frequency of use in parental input (at least  *within* categories).

However, I realize that this is heavy-handed and impolite. So, in the future, I will only reply in a separate message to the person posting the query. I will answer their questions directly and still encourage them to use chibolts list in the future. I will no longer post reminders to info-childes about this separation of the two lists and particularly I will not make any such posts directly after a person has posted a query of this type. Hopefully, we can still keep the lists separate in this way these heavy-handed interventions on my part. -- Brian MacWhinney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

You then specify the speaker code, in this case *CHI stands for "child", then using the +s flag followed by double quotation marks and an * you specify the string you are looking for, and then write the file name (instead of the xxx) and press ENTER.

I have to disagree on the second point, about age norms derived from the CDI. These judgements are made with respect to a *concurrent* situation with respect to a specific child. The parent is not making a judgement of age of acquisition; simply a yes/no judgement about their own child. The AoA comes from aggregating across parents. There is pretty good agreement between CDI norms and information derived from CHILDES transcripts (not that one would expect perfect agreement; transcripts often miss low-frequency words). And Goodman et al (2008) showed substantial correlation between CDI norms for words and frequency of use in parental input (at least *within* categories).

The richness, diversity, and complexity of the pragmatic and linguistic devices that have to be followed in order to produce and comprehend a coherent discourse make this arguably one of the most challenging tasks in language acquisition. Children have to figure out the structure and content of the macro-parts, i.e. who is acting where and when, what happened and what follows from what happened. In addition, there is a broad range of linguistic means of discourse cohesion which are, at least partially, interacting with each other. Most of them are linked to pragmatic interpretations and to the internal non-linguistic knowledge and emotional states of the communication partner(s). The conference will address the micro-level of discourse structure and present current research on the acquisition of the various phenomena that ensure coherence in discourse. In order to open our eyes to the complexity of the domain and the possible interactions between the diverse phenomena, we invite papers investigating children?s development into discourse coherence from all angles and perspectives. Currently, the main body of research focuses on referential expressions with respect to e.g. the introduction and maintenance of referents, topic-sensitivity, and anaphoric capacity. More recently, the role of coherence relations expressed by different types of connectors and the impact of verb semantics in discourse continuation have become of interest. However, apart from the early studies from the 1980s, not much work has been done on time reference and tense/aspect chains in discourse. Little is known about the influence of epistemic, modal, and several other types of expressions. The same holds for the influence of context information, the impact of prosodic information, and the treatment of focus. The conference provides the opportunity to discuss the broad range of discourse cohesive means and the methods of their investigation from different theoretical perspectives. We especially encourage the presentation of papers focusing on the following aspects: - correlations and interactions between different types of discourse cohesive means - correlations between discourse cohesive means and non-linguistic phenomena such as emotional states, discourse context, etc. - the role of theory of mind - the acquisition of pragmatic implicatures in the use of discourse cohesive means - acquisitional milestones and paths in the development of discourse abilities - processing of discourse cohesive means - the interaction of discourse cohesive means with parameters of information structure - acquisition in mono- and bilingual children as well as in SLI children Invited speakers: Jacqueline Evers-Vermeul Juhani J?rvikivi Tom Roeper Abstracts of max. 500 words (not including references) should be sent as a pdf-file by the 19th of September 2011 to: dicma at zas.gwz-berlin.de Please provide name(s) of author(s) and affiliation(s) in the text of the email and do not mention it in the abstract file. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

We are looking for a way to administer a vocabulary test to estimate vocabulary sizes in each language. Essentially, we want to compare receptive vocabulary across languages to get a sense of dominance with which to associate our experimental data on word recognition.

We will now compare the data to monolingual speakers from Luxembourg and Portugal. One thing I would be concerned about when comparing task performance in the same individual across languages using different versions of a test is that you can not be sure that word frequencies are controlled. At least this was the case for Luxembourgish and Portuguese for which no norms on the PPVT exist - maybe for Mandarin this is different . Also in case there is not a published Mandarin version of the PPVT you might want to keep in mind that Pearson charges a relatively steep translation fee. Have you considered using an expressive vocabulary test? This would partially get you around the problem of administrating exactly the same test twice to the same kids. In addition it would give you some interesting information on the lexical knowledge that is shared across languages and that is specific to each language.

I know it is not usually used to measure receptive vocabulary, but the Dutch CDI (Toddler form) does include receptive vocabulary and the parents in our study of Dutch- French bilingual toddlers had no trouble ticking those Dutch words they thought their 20-month-old understood. Of course, you're dealing with older children, but I think that if the main purpose is to have a rough idea of comparative vocabulary size in each language it is OK to use the CDI as suggested. However, there are some methodological issues involved in collecting the data. A description of how we did this for a group of bilingual children can be found in De Houwer, A., M.H. Bornstein & S. De Coster, 2006. Early understanding of two words for the same thing: A CDI study of lexical comprehension in infant bilinguals. International journal of bilingualism 10(3): 331-348. Good luck!

I have to disagree on the second point, about age norms derived from the CDI. These judgements are made with respect to a *concurrent* situation with respect to a specific child. The parent is not making a judgement of age of acquisition; simply a yes/no judgement about their own child. The AoA comes from aggregating across parents. There is pretty good agreement between CDI norms and information derived from CHILDES transcripts (not that one would expect perfect agreement; transcripts often miss low-frequency words). And Goodman et al (2008) showed substantial correlation between CDI norms for words and frequency of use in parental input (at least? *within* categories). Philip Dale?

The triennial award, sponsored by the International Association for the Study of Child Language (http://iascl.talkbank.org), is in recognition of theoretical and methodological contributions to the field of child language. Prof. MacWhinney?s major theoretical input through the development of the Competition Model with Elizabeth Bates, and his field-defining methodological contribution with the establishment of CHILDES with Catherine Snow are only two of his many extraordinary achievements in our field. Prof. MacWhinney was awarded the prize during the recent meeting of the Association held at UQAM in Montreal in July. Nominations for the next Roger Brown Award will be solicited from IASCL members in 2013 ahead of the next meeting of the Association at the University of Amsterdam in July 2014.
