From gao.lpp at gmail.com Sun Dec 2 23:54:19 2012 From: gao.lpp at gmail.com (Gao Jiayin) Date: Mon, 3 Dec 2012 00:54:19 +0100 Subject: call for papers: 16th Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs - Models and Modeling in Language Sciences: Paris, 30-31 May 2013 Message-ID: Dear colleague, We would like adding our call for papers on your site. We organize a symposium at the University Sorbonne Nouvelle for junior researchers: * 16th Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs - Models and Modeling in Language Sciences: Paris, 30-31 May 2013* Created in 1998, the Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC) of the Doctoral School 'Langage et langues' (ED 268, Sorbonne Nouvelle University - Paris 3) is an opportunity for junior researchers preparing for a Master's degree or a Doctorate, but also for post-doctorates, to present their work in paper or poster sessions. *MODELS AND MODELING IN LANGUAGE SCIENCES *How do we grasp the variety of reality without trying to establish a structure and formulate rules supposed to explain or describe the way it works? How do we understand a phenomenon without first trying to conceive its possible operations? Even if the use of an abstract framing is not always enough for comprehending a given linguistic phenomenon, psychological process or cognitive strategy, the construction and utilisation of models often appears necessary – just as it is necessary to question and revise existing models, in order to apprehend ever more finely grained phenomena. Because of the varied disciplines grouped under the heading “language sciences”, the very word “model” is to be understood in different senses. For instance, the psycholinguist proposing a model to account for the psycho-cognitive process of the reader does not conceive the model in the same way as the semiotician speaking about the “model reader” (Eco, 1979). In the same way syntactic models have different functions in natural language processing and in descriptive linguistics. The many approaches of the varied disciplines lead to question regarding not only the notion of “model” but also the activity of modeling linguistic data, depending on descriptive, explanatory or predictive purposes. Thus, the various definitions of “model” are of interest, together with their application, their transdisciplinary potentialities and their possible transformations. The questions of the relevance and limits of these models are also of interest, as is the issue of the very notion of “model”. According to the different approaches adopted by researchers, the model can be considered as a necessity, or an obstacle, as a sign of rigor or as a scientific bias. Is it a theoretical restraint into the empirical data must fit in with? Or is it an abstract construction required to understand the dynamics and functioning of a any given phenomenon or linguistic fact? 2013 RJC invites participants to contribute to the reflection about conceiving, using, questioning and revising models in language sciences. We particularly welcome presentations in the following fields: First and second Language acquisition, discourse analysis, anthropological linguistics, language and culture pedagogy, history of linguistic ideas, general linguistics, historical and compared linguistics, morphology, neurolinguistics, phonetics, phonology, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, rhetoric, semantics, semiotics, sociolinguistics, syntax - NLP, translation studies, linguistic typology. *Deadline for abstract submission: January 14th 2013* *Contact: rjc.ed268.p3 at gmail.com* *More details on: www.univ-paris3.fr/rjc2013* Best regards, Jiayin Gao Organizing Committee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

The successful applicant will work on a project which aims to analyse several datasets from cross sectional and longitudinal studies on language development in Danish children with measurements on several language dimensions across several thousands of children. The overall aim of the project is to find subgroups of children with similar patterns in language development, which can then be used to help train teachers and other relevant professionals in supporting language development in an individualized manner. A large ongoing randomized intervention study with six intervention and two control groups allows the investigation of the predictive value of the subgroups found with respect to intervention effects. The project will require the application of regression models for longitudinal data, latent class models, growth curves modes and combinations of these models. Experience with some of these models is hence an advantage. The applicant should have a Master’s degree in statistics, mathematics, psychology or a related field. The successful applicant will be supervised by Professor Dorthe Bleses, Center for Child Language, University of Southern Denmark, and Professor Werner Vach, Clinical Epidemiology Group, University of Freiburg, Germany.

Our interdisciplinary program, the only program of its kind in California, provides training in normal (spoken and signed) language, language disorders, multilingualism, and in the neural bases of language learning, use, and loss. It is designed to educate a new generation of scientists who are interested in applying state-of-the-art research skills to the study of communicative disorders. We are very proud of our program, students and faculty. Our doctoral program ranked fourth on the Faculty Scholarly Productivity Index rankings compiled by Academic Analytics and released by *The Chronicle of Higher Education *in 2007. The National Research Council (NRC) ranked our doctoral program among the top ten in the nation in their most recent rankings (2010). The majority of our graduates hold faculty positions in universities or research scientist positions in labs here in the US and abroad. *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 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. *ASHA CLINICAL CERTIFICATION:* Although this is a research Ph.D. program, SLHS offers a separate graduate program in SLP. It may be possible to complete a CFY or obtain academic and clinical training concurrently with doctoral studies. However, access to clinical training is not automatic nor is it guaranteed. *RESOURCES AND SUPPORT:* In fall 2008 our program at SDSU 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. 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 grants. Our NIH doctoral training grant “Neurocognitive Approaches to Communication Disorders” was recently renewed for five years of funding ( http://slhs.sdsu.edu/student-resources/current-students/financial-aid/traineeships/nih-grant/). This funding, along with other institutional and grant funding, provides us with resources to support our doctoral students.

We organize a symposium at the University Sorbonne Nouvelle for junior researchers: * 16th Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs - Models and Modeling in Language Sciences: Paris, 30-31 May 2013* Created in 1998, the Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC) of the Doctoral School 'Langage et langues' (ED 268, Sorbonne Nouvelle University - Paris 3) is an opportunity for junior researchers preparing for a Master's degree or a Doctorate, but also for post-doctorates, to present their work in paper or poster sessions. *MODELS AND MODELING IN LANGUAGE SCIENCES *How do we grasp the variety of reality without trying to establish a structure and formulate rules supposed to explain or describe the way it works? How do we understand a phenomenon without first trying to conceive its possible operations? Even if the use of an abstract framing is not always enough for comprehending a given linguistic phenomenon, psychological process or cognitive strategy, the construction and utilisation of models often appears necessary ? just as it is necessary to question and revise existing models, in order to apprehend ever more finely grained phenomena. Because of the varied disciplines grouped under the heading ?language sciences?, the very word ?model? is to be understood in different senses. For instance, the psycholinguist proposing a model to account for the psycho-cognitive process of the reader does not conceive the model in the same way as the semiotician speaking about the ?model reader? (Eco, 1979). In the same way syntactic models have different functions in natural language processing and in descriptive linguistics. The many approaches of the varied disciplines lead to question regarding not only the notion of ?model? but also the activity of modeling linguistic data, depending on descriptive, explanatory or predictive purposes. Thus, the various definitions of ?model? are of interest, together with their application, their transdisciplinary potentialities and their possible transformations. The questions of the relevance and limits of these models are also of interest, as is the issue of the very notion of ?model?. According to the different approaches adopted by researchers, the model can be considered as a necessity, or an obstacle, as a sign of rigor or as a scientific bias. Is it a theoretical restraint into the empirical data must fit in with? Or is it an abstract construction required to understand the dynamics and functioning of a any given phenomenon or linguistic fact? 2013 RJC invites participants to contribute to the reflection about conceiving, using, questioning and revising models in language sciences. We particularly welcome presentations in the following fields: First and second Language acquisition, discourse analysis, anthropological linguistics, language and culture pedagogy, history of linguistic ideas, general linguistics, historical and compared linguistics, morphology, neurolinguistics, phonetics, phonology, pragmatics, psycholinguistics, rhetoric, semantics, semiotics, sociolinguistics, syntax - NLP, translation studies, linguistic typology. *Deadline for abstract submission: January 14th 2013* *Contact: rjc.ed268.p3 at gmail.com* *More details on: www.univ-paris3.fr/rjc2013* Best regards, Jiayin Gao Organizing Committee -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

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 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. *ASHA CLINICAL CERTIFICATION:* Although this is a research Ph.D. program, SLHS offers a separate graduate program in SLP. It may be possible to complete a CFY or obtain academic and clinical training concurrently with doctoral studies. However, access to clinical training is not automatic nor is it guaranteed. *RESOURCES AND SUPPORT:* In fall 2008 our program at SDSU 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. 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 grants. Our NIH doctoral training grant ?Neurocognitive Approaches to Communication Disorders? was recently renewed for five years of funding ( http://slhs.sdsu.edu/student-resources/current-students/financial-aid/traineeships/nih-grant/). This funding, along with other institutional and grant funding, provides us with resources to support our doctoral students. Contact Dr. Lew Shapiro ( shapiro at mail.sdsu.edu ) for more information regarding this training grant.**. *SDSU/UCSD Joint Doctoral Program in Language and Communicative Disorders* *San Diego State University* *5500 Campanile Drive* *San Diego, California 92182-1518* *Telephone: (619) 594-6775* http://slhs.sdsu.edu/programs/phd/admissions/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

URL: From Serratrice at manchester.ac.uk Fri Dec 14 14:26:25 2012 From: Serratrice at manchester.ac.uk (Ludovica Serratrice) Date: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 06:26:25 -0800 Subject: Child Language Seminar 2013 - Extended Deadline Message-ID: *Please note that the abstract submission deadline for the Child Language Seminar 2013 has been extended to 17th January 2013. Notification of acceptance/rejection of abstracts will therefore now be on 6th February 2013. * * * *Full abstract submission guidelines can be found on the website ( http://www.psych-sci.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/events/cls2013/). In particular, please note that you can submit more than one abstract as first author but each person is only allowed to present one paper (i.e. someone other than the first author would need to present the additional papers). We are more flexible when it comes to posters. You can present a poster as well as a paper (or more than one poster). However, if we do not have enough space for all of the posters reviewed favourably by the abstract committee then we reserve the right to limit the number of posters presented by the same person.* [image: TUOM_4COL] *Third Call for Papers for Child Language Seminar 2013* The next *Child Language Seminar* will be held at The University of Manchester on *Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th June 2013 * (with registration and wine reception on the evening of Sunday 23rd June). The Child Language Seminar (CLS) is an interdisciplinary conference with a long tradition which attracts a diverse international audience of linguists, psychologists and speech-language therapists. It provides a forum for research on language acquisition and developmental language disorders. *The keynote speakers will be:* Professor Catherine Snow, Harvard University Professor Mike Tomasello, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig Professor Julian Pine, University of Liverpool Dr Courtenay Norbury, Royal Holloway College, London *Call for papers:* Proposals are invited for papers and posters related to *all* aspects of child language acquisition and disorders. There are no key themes for CLS 2013 as we want to encourage proposals covering the full breadth of research relating to child language learning and developmental language disorders. To illustrate, proposals will be considered on children's first, simultaneous and/or subsequent language development, in areas such as grammar, phonology, lexicon, pragmatics, discourse, literacy, sign language, and psycholinguistic processing. The CLS is a peer-reviewed research conference and all proposals will be reviewed anonymously by the abstract committee. * * *Presentation format* Proposals should indicate whether an oral presentation or poster is preferred. The organising committee views both formats as having equal value but reserves the right to switch formats to suit the programme. Presenters will be notified about the final format of their presentation at the time their proposal is accepted. * * *Proposal format* Proposals must be written in English and include the following: * * *1. Cover Page:* Title of presentation Authors' names and affiliations Name, address, telephone number and email address of contact person Preferred presentation format (oral presentation or poster) * * *2. Abstract:* Title of presentation Summary of research undertaken (300 words maximum, single spaced). One figure or table and up to 3 references may be added and will not be included in the word count. (Do not include authors' names) * * *Submitting proposals:* Proposals must be submitted in either MS Word or RTF format with paper size set to A4 and submitted as an attachment to an email (not as part of the mail body of the email) to Jenny.Freed at Manchester.ac.ukusing ?CLS Abstract Submission? as the subject of the email. You will receive an email back confirming receipt of your abstract. *Key dates:* Deadline for submission of abstracts: 17th January 2013 Notification of acceptance/rejection: 6th February 2013 Registration opens: 1st February 2013 Programme published on website: 1st April 2013 Early registration deadline (reduced fee): 30th April 2013 Registration and wine reception: Sunday 23rd June 2013 CLS conference: 24th-25th June 2013 Conference dinner: 24th June 2013 *Registration:* The registration fees are now listed on the CLS website.

The University of Manchester is the UK?s largest single-site University. As an internationally recognised research-led institution, our teaching and learning programmes are informed by the latest research findings delivered by staff at the leading edge of their fields. The Language Development and Disorders Research Group is a multidisciplinary team of researchers working to develop our understanding of the factors, processes and mechanisms involved in successful language learning and in speech and language disorders. The research interests of the group focus on four main themes: Typically developing children?s early language development and the linguistic environment, specific language impairment (SLI), social communication and pragmatics intervention research, phonological representations and developmental speech disorders. *Manchester:* Manchester is a vibrant, cosmopolitan, culturally diverse city. It is notable for its sport, museums, galleries, theatres, music scene and shopping, offering something for everyone. Manchester is easily accessible by train (just 2 hours from London). There are direct flights from Manchester International Airport to all major European cities, and many long-haul flights are also available from Manchester. *Accommodation:* There are many excellent places to stay in Manchester and good public transport links to and from the University. We are asking delegates to book their own conference accommodation. We have managed to secure preferential rates at a few hotels to suit a range of budgets. These hotels are all within walking distance of the conference venue and Manchester Piccadilly train station. Details have now been added to the CLS website. Please follow the link on the website to make a booking. *Further information* Further details will be added to the website in due course ( http://www.psych-sci.manchester.ac.uk/aboutus/events/cls2013/ ). You can also follow CLS on Twitter (@CLSManchester). This will be updated as more information becomes available.
