I have only encountered two children whose parents have told me they have attempted to use baby sign in one form or another at home. One of these two children is visually impaired, plus some other issues, so in that case there was some additional motivation for trying to use baby sign (as well as other methods that would supposedly enhance communication/development).

The appointment as research assistant will primarily be based at the University of Freiburg. The intention is that the successful applicant will later apply for a three year PhD position (starting 1.1.2013). The PhD position will be attached to the Center of Child Language at the Institute of Language and Communication, University of Southern Denmark, but the PhD project will primarily be carried out at the Working Group Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Freiburg. The PhD project will focus on the development and application of sophisticated statistical methods to analyze datasets occurring from various fields of child language research, in particular the data of a large scale RCT on the effectiveness of systematic and explicit instructions via a Danish adaptation of the RIA intervention program. Applicants should have, or expect to receive, a master degree in Statistics or Mathematics or related subject and a clear interest in child language and child development, or a master degree in linguistics, psychology, public health and a related subject and strong interest in both statistics, child language and child development. The required qualification is graduate level. Applications will be assessed by an expert committee. Applicants will be informed of their assessment by the university. As part of the overall assessment of the applicant's qualifications, an interview may be applied. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Prof. Dr. Werner Vach, Working Group Clinical Epidemiology, Institute of Medical Biometry and Medical Informatics, email: wv at imbi.uni-freiburg.de, or to Professor Dorthe Bleses, Center for Child Language, University of Southern Denmark, email: bleses at sdu.dk.

I know that Danuta Mikulska (danuta at klubkoko.pl) has done a PhD on this topic at the University of Warsaw. There is a webpage for parents popularizing baby signing: http://www.bobomigi.com.pl/ (in Polish). I am sure you can get more informations directly from Danuta Mikulska.

Dear Ruth, Baby singing certainly does exist in Poland, although I cannot assess how popular it is. I know that Danuta Mikulska (danuta at klubkoko.pl) has done a PhD on this topic at the University of Warsaw. There is a webpage for parents popularizing baby signing: http://www.bobomigi.com.pl/ (in Polish). I am sure you can get more informations directly from Danuta Mikulska. I was not able to locate any papers of her in English in the web, but I know that her PhD thesis included a study of about 100 Polish infants signing with their mothers.

Please post.) Thank you. Conference on Formal Approaches to Heritage Language April 20-21, 2012 Sponsored by the Language Acquisition Research Center (LARC) of the University of Massachusetts Amherst “Heritage speakers” have been described by Polinsky and Kagan (2007) as people raised in a home where one language is spoken, but who subsequently switch to another dominant language. This conference aims to explore the formal properties of Heritage Speaker grammars and where they diverge from both native “baseline” and L2 speaker grammars. The program will also include a workshop on research techniques for heritage languages. Invited speakers: Ana Perez-Leroux, University of Toronto Acrisio Pires, University of Michigan Maria Polinsky, Harvard University Abstracts for presentations or posters are solicited on both theoretical and acquisition issues that connect Heritage to L1 or L2 research. Priority will be given to work that addresses specific theoretical domains, such as, but not limited to: aspect, binding, quantification, and movement and more specifically, agreement, case, tense, and mood. Talks will be 20 minutes long, with 10 minutes for discussion. Abstracts should be one page, font size 12 pt., with one-inch margins. A second page may (optionally) be used for examples, tables or graphs, and references. In order to maintain anonymity during the review process, please do not include your name or otherwise identify yourself anywhere in your abstract. Abstracts should be sent by email in pdf format to bpearson at research.umass.edu. Please use ‘abstract submission’ as subject heading. The body of the message should include the author’s name(s), title, and contact information. For more information about the call or the conference, contact the organizers: Tom Roeper, Luiz Amaral, or Barbara Zurer Pearson ( roeper at linguist.umass.edu, amaral at spanport.umass.edu or bpearson at research.umass.edu ) Abstract deadline: February 29, 2012 (midnight EST) Notification of acceptance: March 10, 2012 Workshop dates: April 20-21, 2012 ************************************************ Barbara Zurer Pearson, Ph.D. Research Associate, Depts of Linguistics and Communication Disorders c/o 226 South College University of Massachusetts Amherst Amherst MA 01003 bpearson at research.umass.edu http://www.umass.edu/aae/bp_indexold.htm http://www.zurer.com/pearson -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Clark (Stanford University) Geert-Jan M. Kruijff (DFKI-Saarbrücken), François Récanati (Institut Jean Nicod, École Normale Supérieure) The SEMDIAL series of workshops brings together researchers working on the semantics and pragmatics of dialogue in fields such as artificial intelligence, computational linguistics, formal semantics/pragmatics, philosophy, psychology, and neuroscience (information on past SemDials is here: http://www.illc.uva.nl/semdial/ ). In 2012 the workshop will be hosted by Université Paris-Diderot (Paris 7).

Under what conditions may it arise? If we consider theater monologue, logorrhea, children’s egocentric language and even psychoanalysis as forms of self-talk, are there common criteria for defining monologues or do these forms vary radically? How can we describe them, both in terms of their linguistic properties and as expressions of their speakers’ subjectivity? The issues raised by monologues are numerous. Rarely studied from a multidisciplinary perspective, monologues allow human beings to question how they relate to the self, to language and to others. A multidisciplinary perspective would permit both a better grasp of the specifics of each type of monologue and how they relate to each other, as well as facilitate a more fruitful interchange of knowledge and conceptual tools among various fields. We propose a multidisciplinary conference addressing these questions. The conference will consist of 30-minute scientific presentations and plenary talks alternating with live performances by guest musicians, comedians, and story-tellers. Invited keynote speakers - Kirill O. Thompson, National Taiwan University (Philosophy) http://www.theberendelfoundation.com/node/49 - Anders Holmberg, Newcastle University (Linguistics) http://www.ncl.ac.uk/elll/people/profile/anders.holmberg Special guest - Katherine Nelson, City University of New York (Psychology) http://web.gc.cuny.edu/dept/psych/subprogs/devpsy/nelson.html We welcome researchers from all involved fields to submit a 500-word abstract to the following address : monologue at univ-paris3.fr Deadline for submission: February 29th 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 4th 2012 Collective and multidisciplinary research is encouraged. Authors are asked to send two versions (in word or open office) of the abstract, one anonymous and one with the names of the authors.

URL: From c.decat at leeds.ac.uk Mon Jan 30 13:46:22 2012 From: c.decat at leeds.ac.uk (Cecile De Cat) Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:46:22 -0800 Subject: Chair in Corpus Linguistics for 'Language@Leeds', University of Leeds Message-ID: The School of Modern Languages and Cultures is seeking an exceptional individual who combines internationally leading research and innovation with an outstanding record in student education for the position of Chair in Corpus Linguistics, as part of a £23m investment in academic leadership at the University of Leeds (see www.universityofleedschairs.co.uk). This new appointment, located in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, will lead and develop the new Faculty-based strategic Language at Leeds initiative (see below) with the aim of building on substantial existing successes and making Leeds an international leader in language-related research, scholarship and teaching. The structures of this initiative will bring together and enhance language studies in the School (the largest of its kind in the country), in the Faculty (notably English Language) and in the wider University (including Computing). Within the School, this will particularly involve staff in Translation Studies, Linguistics and Phonetics and the Language Centre. The role will require excellent leadership and team skills and the ability to encourage and develop interdisciplinary links between the various areas represented in Language at Leeds. The successful candidate will have an outstanding research record with a specialism within the broad of corpus linguistics, already of significant importance within the School. This should include an excellent track record in the construction and analysis of large corpora, experience with multilingual corpora and expertise in quantitative methods, including statistics. A strong commitment to interdisciplinarity should also be demonstrated. The Chair is expected to enhance existing research in corpus linguistics in the School and to foster research collaboration within language studies at Leeds, while also making an innovative contribution to related teaching on the School’s undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Further information and details of the application procedure are available at http://www.universityofleedschairs.co.uk/mlc-corpus-linguistics.php Informal inquiries about the post should be directed to: Dr Claire E. Honess, Head of the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Leeds, UK, Telephone: +44(0)113 343 3631, E-mail: c.e.honess at leeds.ac.uk. Deadline for receipt of applications: 2 March 2012 LANGUAGE at LEEDS: Language at Leeds is a recently articulated initiative that brings together the study of language, both in terms of teaching and research. Within this, the Language at Leeds Research Hub aims to link up existing research groups from the Faculties of Arts, Engineering, Medicine and Health, and Education and provide them with (i) a coherent outward-facing identity with the potential to make Leeds an internationally recognised centre of excellence for the study of language, (ii) centralised research support (within the Faculty of Arts) to better enable the incremental growth of expertise, (iii) the infrastructure necessary to enable more and better inter-disciplinary research. The Chair will be expected to develop further the Language at Leeds Research Hub within the proposed framework and in conjunction with the team that defined it (comprising the research directors from Linguistics & Phonetics, the Centre for Translation Studies, the language group of the School of English, and the director of the Language, Linguistics & Translation research group within the School of Modern Languages and Cultures). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

It seems to me that it is at least relatively common for Swedish parents to be familiar with the general idea although they rarely seem to be aware of the term "baby sign" (or some Swedish equivalent) as such. Actually using baby sign seems very rare however, although it is not entirely non-existent. I have only encountered two children whose parents have told me they have attempted to use baby sign in one form or another at home. One of these two children is visually impaired, plus some other issues, so in that case there was some additional motivation for trying to use baby sign (as well as other methods that would supposedly enhance communication/development).

The appointment as research assistant will primarily be based at the University of Freiburg. The intention is that the successful applicant will later apply for a three year PhD position (starting 1.1.2013). The PhD position will be attached to the Center of Child Language at the Institute of Language and Communication, University of Southern Denmark, but the PhD project will primarily be carried out at the Working Group Clinical Epidemiology at the University of Freiburg. The PhD project will focus on the development and application of sophisticated statistical methods to analyze datasets occurring from various fields of child language research, in particular the data of a large scale RCT on the effectiveness of systematic and explicit instructions via a Danish adaptation of the RIA intervention program. Applicants should have, or expect to receive, a master degree in Statistics or Mathematics or related subject and a clear interest in child language and child development, or a master degree in linguistics, psychology, public health and a related subject and strong interest in both statistics, child language and child development. The required qualification is graduate level. Applications will be assessed by an expert committee. Applicants will be informed of their assessment by the university. As part of the overall assessment of the applicant's qualifications, an interview may be applied. Informal enquiries may be addressed to Prof. Dr. Werner Vach, Working Group Clinical Epidemiology, Institute of Medical Biometry and Medical Informatics, email: wv at imbi.uni-freiburg.de, or to Professor Dorthe Bleses, Center for Child Language, University of Southern Denmark, email: bleses at sdu.dk.

Do you want to go to graduate school? Do you want hands-on experience with cutting-edge research? If you answered ?yes? to any of these questions, then the Temple University Infant and Child Lab might be a great place for you to spend your summer vacation! *Who we are:* The Temple Infant and Child Lab, directed by Professors Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Nora Newcombe, conducts research on language acquisition, parent-child play interactions, spatial learning, and memory development both in theory and application. We ask such questions as how do children learn their very first words? What contexts help children learn? When do certain spatial abilities develop? Exploring these types of research questions helps both parents and professionals better understand learning and development in infants and young children. *About the internship:* We are currently looking for bright, energetic students who are eager to peer into the world of children and developmental psychology. These student interns will receive hands-on experience in every step of the research process. Duties include recruiting participants, helping design and create experimental stimuli, running participants, and coding and analyzing data. Each intern will also be paired with a graduate student mentor who will guide the intern with readings and serve as a resource for questions about research and graduate school. In addition to the spectacular experience, we may be able to offer 4 credit hours or possibly an honorarium of $1,000 to qualified applicants. There is also a specific recruitment effort for underrepresented minority students. *Requirements:* (1) Applicants are majors in psychology or related fields. (2) Applicants must have basic computer skills. (3) Applicants must be reliable and able to commit to 20-30 hours/week for 8 weeks between June and August 2012. *To apply:* If you are interested in this opportunity, please send the following to our lab coordinator, Melissa Hansen, (melissa.hansen at temple.com): (1) Intern Application from our website under ?Intern/Jobs?: http://www.temple.edu/infantlab/ (2) A resume indicating your academic and volunteer experiences (2) Your availability during the summer (e.g., number of hours per week) Applications must be submitted by Friday, March 16th, 2012. Late applications will only be considered if positions remain open. *Any questions?* Please contact Melissa Hansen, Lab Coordinator at (267) 468-8610 or melissa.hansen at temple.edu.

Please post.) Thank you. Conference on Formal Approaches to Heritage Language April 20-21, 2012 Sponsored by the Language Acquisition Research Center (LARC) of the University of Massachusetts Amherst ?Heritage speakers? have been described by Polinsky and Kagan (2007) as people raised in a home where one language is spoken, but who subsequently switch to another dominant language. This conference aims to explore the formal properties of Heritage Speaker grammars and where they diverge from both native ?baseline? and L2 speaker grammars. The program will also include a workshop on research techniques for heritage languages. Invited speakers: Ana Perez-Leroux, University of Toronto Acrisio Pires, University of Michigan Maria Polinsky, Harvard University Abstracts for presentations or posters are solicited on both theoretical and acquisition issues that connect Heritage to L1 or L2 research. Priority will be given to work that addresses specific theoretical domains, such as, but not limited to: aspect, binding, quantification, and movement and more specifically, agreement, case, tense, and mood. Talks will be 20 minutes long, with 10 minutes for discussion. Abstracts should be one page, font size 12 pt., with one-inch margins. A second page may (optionally) be used for examples, tables or graphs, and references. In order to maintain anonymity during the review process, please do not include your name or otherwise identify yourself anywhere in your abstract. Abstracts should be sent by email in pdf format to bpearson at research.umass.edu. Please use ?abstract submission? as subject heading.

Self-Talk Forms and practices Dates : September 10th-12th 2012 What is a monologue? Under what conditions may it arise? If we consider theater monologue, logorrhea, children?s egocentric language and even psychoanalysis as forms of self-talk, are there common criteria for defining monologues or do these forms vary radically? How can we describe them, both in terms of their linguistic properties and as expressions of their speakers? subjectivity? The issues raised by monologues are numerous. Rarely studied from a multidisciplinary perspective, monologues allow human beings to question how they relate to the self, to language and to others. A multidisciplinary perspective would permit both a better grasp of the specifics of each type of monologue and how they relate to each other, as well as facilitate a more fruitful interchange of knowledge and conceptual tools among various fields. We propose a multidisciplinary conference addressing these questions. The conference will consist of 30-minute scientific presentations and plenary talks alternating with live performances by guest musicians, comedians, and story-tellers. Invited keynote speakers - Kirill O. Thompson, National Taiwan University (Philosophy) http://www.theberendelfoundation.com/node/49 - Anders Holmberg, Newcastle University (Linguistics) http://www.ncl.ac.uk/elll/people/profile/anders.holmberg Special guest - Katherine Nelson, City University of New York (Psychology) http://web.gc.cuny.edu/dept/psych/subprogs/devpsy/nelson.html We welcome researchers from all involved fields to submit a 500-word abstract to the following address : monologue at univ-paris3.fr Deadline for submission: February 29th 2012 Notification of acceptance: May 4th 2012 Collective and multidisciplinary research is encouraged.

URL: From c.decat at leeds.ac.uk Mon Jan 30 13:46:22 2012 From: c.decat at leeds.ac.uk (Cecile De Cat) Date: Mon, 30 Jan 2012 05:46:22 -0800 Subject: Chair in Corpus Linguistics for 'Language@Leeds', University of Leeds Message-ID: The School of Modern Languages and Cultures is seeking an exceptional individual who combines internationally leading research and innovation with an outstanding record in student education for the position of Chair in Corpus Linguistics, as part of a ?23m investment in academic leadership at the University of Leeds (see www.universityofleedschairs.co.uk). This new appointment, located in the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, will lead and develop the new Faculty-based strategic Language at Leeds initiative (see below) with the aim of building on substantial existing successes and making Leeds an international leader in language-related research, scholarship and teaching. The structures of this initiative will bring together and enhance language studies in the School (the largest of its kind in the country), in the Faculty (notably English Language) and in the wider University (including Computing). Within the School, this will particularly involve staff in Translation Studies, Linguistics and Phonetics and the Language Centre. The role will require excellent leadership and team skills and the ability to encourage and develop interdisciplinary links between the various areas represented in Language at Leeds. The successful candidate will have an outstanding research record with a specialism within the broad of corpus linguistics, already of significant importance within the School. This should include an excellent track record in the construction and analysis of large corpora, experience with multilingual corpora and expertise in quantitative methods, including statistics. A strong commitment to interdisciplinarity should also be demonstrated. The Chair is expected to enhance existing research in corpus linguistics in the School and to foster research collaboration within language studies at Leeds, while also making an innovative contribution to related teaching on the School?s undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Further information and details of the application procedure are available at http://www.universityofleedschairs.co.uk/mlc-corpus-linguistics.php Informal inquiries about the post should be directed to: Dr Claire E. Honess, Head of the School of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Leeds, UK, Telephone: +44(0)113 343 3631, E-mail: c.e.honess at leeds.ac.uk. Deadline for receipt of applications: 2 March 2012 LANGUAGE at LEEDS: Language at Leeds is a recently articulated initiative that brings together the study of language, both in terms of teaching and research. Within this, the Language at Leeds Research Hub aims to link up existing research groups from the Faculties of Arts, Engineering, Medicine and Health, and Education and provide them with (i) a coherent outward-facing identity with the potential to make Leeds an internationally recognised centre of excellence for the study of language, (ii) centralised research support (within the Faculty of Arts) to better enable the incremental growth of expertise, (iii) the infrastructure necessary to enable more and better inter-disciplinary research. The Chair will be expected to develop further the Language at Leeds Research Hub within the proposed framework and in conjunction with the team that defined it (comprising the research directors from Linguistics & Phonetics, the Centre for Translation Studies, the language group of the School of English, and the director of the Language, Linguistics & Translation research group within the School of Modern Languages and Cultures). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.
