My hope is to conduct a meta-analysis of this data. To reduce publication bias I am looking for both published and unpublished data. I have exhausted the usual databases and have found what I think is a majority if not all published studies, but would welcome suggestions or contributions of unpublished works.

I am looking to start recording a child aged 1;7 for a naturalistic study into Finnish morphology acquisition. The recordings will be collected by the Mother in their home environment. Essential qualities for the audio recorder are high sensitivity to detail, scene setting to focus on speech and/or background noise filter and USB connectivity. The Mother will be e-mailing the recordings to me on a regular basis so the easier the overall use of the device is the better! I am quite interested in Olympus WS 750M ( http://www.amazon.co.uk/Olympus-WS-750M-Digital-recorder/dp/B003W2F4KE/ref=pd_cp_office_1). Do any of you have any experience with this recorder?

I have two children that are being raised bilingually (their mine) and have collected some data. If there is someone in Korea who has worked with CHILDES before I'd really like to get in touch with them and start building my own corpus.

In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dear All, I have not realized before that what is basically heard with the transmission is the Polish translation of the talks. I have asked organizers for help and the only solution for English speaking listeners is to try to use left channel for the voice in your computers. This will enhance English but it will not stop Polish translation, sorry for that. The transmission was originally aimed mainly for Polish participants.

The European Union has set a target of 20 per cent of students undertaking some form of study/residence abroad, and some countries are already surpassing this level. Study/ residence abroad can be a life-changing experience for participants, leading to academic, cultural, intercultural, linguistic, personal and professional gains (BA-UCML, 2012). At the same time, in the UK some student groups remain reluctant to participate, and those who do participate benefit from the experience to varying degrees. The design of programmes and support systems for students abroad can significantly affect their experience and the benefit they derive from it. This conference arises from "LANGSNAP", a project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (research award number: RES-062-23-2996) , based at the University of Southampton from 2011-13, which has tracked a cohort of Anglophone students during residence abroad in France, Spain and Mexico, and studied their social integration and its consequences for their linguistic development in varying settings. The conference is intended for researchers on language learning/ multilingualism, program administrators, and educational professionals interested in residence/study abroad and interactions between social processes and language development. One major strand of the conference will focus on language learning during residence abroad, and will include presentation of LANGSNAP project results alongside other research presentations. A second strand will focus on issues to do with the design and effective management of residence abroad programmes. The conference will be preceded by a business meeting of the AILA Research Network "Study Abroad and Language Acquisition". The conference will take place at the Avenue Campus, University of Southampton, United Kingdom. Details of the location are available at: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/visitus/campuses/avenue.html Registration and accommodation details to follow. Call for papers The organizers invite proposals for papers and posters related to residence/study abroad, relevant to these two main strands. Both research-oriented presentations, as well as informational presentations on innovative programmatic features of residence/study/ work experience abroad programs and support materials are welcome. Guidelines for paper and poster submissions Please include a title, abstract (300 words), and short summary (50 words) for both paper and poster submissions. Paper sessions will last 30 minutes (20 minute presentation followed by 10 minutes for questions). There will be two poster sessions, one on each day. Poster presenters will have 45 minutes to present their work. Proposals should be submitted by the deadline 05 November, 2012 to: langsnap at soton.ac.uk Organising Committee: Dr Jaine Beswick (University of Southampton) Dr Patricia Grounds (Universidad Politécnica de San Luis Potosí, Mexico) Dr Martin Howard (AILA REN/University College Cork, Ireland) Dr Cristobal Lozano (University of Granada, Spain) Dr Kevin McManus (University of Southampton, UK) Prof Rosamond Mitchell (University of Southampton, UK) Dr Carmen Pérez Vidal (AILA REN/ Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain) Ms Laurence Richard (University of Southampton, UK) Dr Patricia Romero (University of Southampton, UK) Dr Nicole Tracy-Ventura (University of Southampton, UK) Dr Henry Tyne (University of Perpignan, France) All enquiries should be addressed to: langsnap at soton.ac.uk -- Dr Kevin McManus Research Fellow in French Applied Linguistics Modern Languages University of Southampton tel: +44 (0) 23 8059 3970 http://www.soton.ac.uk/ml/about/staff/km2m10.page -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

From macw at cmu.edu Tue Jul 17 20:56:02 2012 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 16:56:02 -0400 Subject: quotations Message-ID: Dear ChiBolts and Info-CHILDES, We have recently changed the way that CHAT defines quotations. The earlier system used two methods. One method placed the mark +" at the beginning of the line to show that the following material was a quote, as in *MOT: +" and the caterpillar ate four whole tomatoes. This part of the system is not changing. The quotation mark used in this form is the standard straight double quote. The second method used scoping to mark shorter quotations within an utterance. It had this form: "MOT: you should say ["], when you want to have some. We have now changed this second form to look like normal written text with curly begin and end quotes, as in this example: *MOT: you should say “please pass the salt", when you want to have some. The beginning curly double quote is entered using F2+" and the closing curly is entered using F2+shift+". We have changed all of the corpora in CHILDES to this new format, and CHECK and Chatter also expect this new format. The CHAT manual has been revised in accord with the new system. The reasons for this change are: 1. This form matches what people are used to reading. 2. The MOR program can treat the beginning and end quotes as special "words" that are then written to the %mor line, thereby helping in grammatical tagging and parsing. This is part of a system that has also introduced special characters to mark preposed and postposed phrases. All of this is discussed in the CHAT manual in sections 7.4 and 7.9. 3. The earlier system led to complex overlapping angle bracket markings. 4. The new system matches up better with other current text-processing systems. In reality, we would have gone for a system like this 28 years ago when creating CHAT, if we had not been confined to the use of the 128 characters of ASCII. Once we shifted to Unicode, it became possible to implement this new system using special Unicode characters. If you have data that are not yet in this format, we have a PERL script that can do an automatic conversion. If your data are already passing CHECK and Chatter, then we just run the converter in a few seconds. Alternatively, we can run the conversion when you contributed your data to CHILDES.

Although causality plays a role in many facets of language - for example, in argument structure, aspect, and modality - it has not received a dedicated, coherent treatment in formal linguistics in a way that is compatible with work in cognition. Almost without exception, formal approaches have relied on counterfactual theories of causation (notably that of David Lewis), without further investigating how the expression of causality in language might have a cognitive basis, as shown by insights about force transmission in cognitive linguistics (e.g. Talmy, 1988, 2000; Croft, in press), as well as by research on language processing (Wolff, 2007; Wolff et al., 2010), language acquisition (e.g. Bowerman & Choi, 2001; Choi, 2009; Choi & Bowerman, 1991), or infant cognition (e.g. Lécuyer, 1989; Leslie, 1984, 1994; Spelke, 1998; Spelke & Kinzler, 2007; Spelke et al., 1992; Lécuyer, 1989; Mandler, 1998, 2008, 2012). The project brings together linguists and psycholinguists aiming to develop a framework that takes all of these lines of research into account in order to understand how cognitively realistic concepts of causality are combined in language. The present workshop will focus particularly on prelinguistic and early linguistic notions of causality in infants. The program, along with abstracts in French and English, is attached.

I'm actually in New Mexico visiting family at the moment. But we moved to Sydney about 2.5 years ago. So far, it has met and probably surpassed expectations in some ways. We were ready for a change. Good quality of life - with great walks from our house (see photo). And lots of new research collaborations - kids with hearing loss, SLI, Aboriginal languages, ERPs/MEG, which has all been great fun. And bilingualism too! What are you working on? Yes - I imagine not going to conferences one doesn't see a lot of old friends. But I hope there are other consolations? Great to hear from you. Keep in touch.

The European Union has set a target of 20 per cent of students undertaking some form of study/residence abroad, and some countries are already surpassing this level. Study/ residence abroad can be a life-changing experience for participants, leading to academic, cultural, intercultural, linguistic, personal and professional gains (BA-UCML, 2012). At the same time, in the UK some student groups remain reluctant to participate, and those who do participate benefit from the experience to varying degrees. The design of programmes and support systems for students abroad can significantly affect their experience and the benefit they derive from it. This conference arises from "LANGSNAP", a project funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (research award number: RES-062-23-2996) , based at the University of Southampton from 2011-13, which has tracked a cohort of Anglophone students during residence abroad in France, Spain and Mexico, and studied their social integration and its consequences for their linguistic development in varying settings. The conference is intended for researchers on language learning/ multilingualism, program administrators, and educational professionals interested in residence/study abroad and interactions between social processes and language development. One major strand of the conference will focus on language learning during residence abroad, and will include presentation of LANGSNAP project results alongside other research presentations. A second strand will focus on issues to do with the design and effective management of residence abroad programmes. The conference will be preceded by a business meeting of the AILA Research Network "Study Abroad and Language Acquisition". The conference will take place at the Avenue Campus, University of Southampton, United Kingdom. Details of the location are available at: http://www.southampton.ac.uk/visitus/campuses/avenue.html Registration and accommodation details to follow. Call for papers The organizers invite proposals for papers and posters related to residence/study abroad, relevant to these two main strands. Both research-oriented presentations, as well as informational presentations on innovative programmatic features of residence/study/ work experience abroad programs and support materials are welcome. Guidelines for paper and poster submissions Please include a title, abstract (300 words), and short summary (50 words) for both paper and poster submissions. Paper sessions will last 30 minutes (20 minute presentation followed by 10 minutes for questions). There will be two poster sessions, one on each day. Poster presenters will have 45 minutes to present their work. Proposals should be submitted by the deadline 05 November, 2012 to: langsnap at soton.ac.uk Organising Committee: Dr Jaine Beswick (University of Southampton) Dr Patricia Grounds (Universidad Polit?cnica de San Luis Potos?, Mexico) Dr Martin Howard (AILA REN/University College Cork, Ireland) Dr Cristobal Lozano (University of Granada, Spain) Dr Kevin McManus (University of Southampton, UK) Prof Rosamond Mitchell (University of Southampton, UK) Dr Carmen P?rez Vidal (AILA REN/ Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Spain) Ms Laurence Richard (University of Southampton, UK) Dr Patricia Romero (University of Southampton, UK) Dr Nicole Tracy-Ventura (University of Southampton, UK) Dr Henry Tyne (University of Perpignan, France) All enquiries should be addressed to: langsnap at soton.ac.uk -- Dr Kevin McManus Research Fellow in French Applied Linguistics Modern Languages University of Southampton tel: +44 (0) 23 8059 3970 http://www.soton.ac.uk/ml/about/staff/km2m10.page -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

From macw at cmu.edu Tue Jul 17 20:56:02 2012 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 16:56:02 -0400 Subject: quotations Message-ID: Dear ChiBolts and Info-CHILDES, We have recently changed the way that CHAT defines quotations. The earlier system used two methods. One method placed the mark +" at the beginning of the line to show that the following material was a quote, as in *MOT: +" and the caterpillar ate four whole tomatoes. This part of the system is not changing. The quotation mark used in this form is the standard straight double quote. The second method used scoping to mark shorter quotations within an utterance. It had this form: "MOT: you should say ["], when you want to have some. We have now changed this second form to look like normal written text with curly begin and end quotes, as in this example: *MOT: you should say ?please pass the salt", when you want to have some. The beginning curly double quote is entered using F2+" and the closing curly is entered using F2+shift+". We have changed all of the corpora in CHILDES to this new format, and CHECK and Chatter also expect this new format. The CHAT manual has been revised in accord with the new system. The reasons for this change are: 1. This form matches what people are used to reading. 2. The MOR program can treat the beginning and end quotes as special "words" that are then written to the %mor line, thereby helping in grammatical tagging and parsing. This is part of a system that has also introduced special characters to mark preposed and postposed phrases. All of this is discussed in the CHAT manual in sections 7.4 and 7.9. 3. The earlier system led to complex overlapping angle bracket markings. 4. The new system matches up better with other current text-processing systems. In reality, we would have gone for a system like this 28 years ago when creating CHAT, if we had not been confined to the use of the 128 characters of ASCII. Once we shifted to Unicode, it became possible to implement this new system using special Unicode characters. If you have data that are not yet in this format, we have a PERL script that can do an automatic conversion. If your data are already passing CHECK and Chatter, then we just run the converter in a few seconds. Alternatively, we can run the conversion when you contributed your data to CHILDES.

Ren? Descartes, Paris This workshop is organized by the project *Causality in language and cognition *(with the support of the *F?d?ration Typologie et Universaux Linguistiques*), which is dedicated to understanding the cross-linguistic expression of causality in a range of linguistic structures. Although causality plays a role in many facets of language - for example, in argument structure, aspect, and modality - it has not received a dedicated, coherent treatment in formal linguistics in a way that is compatible with work in cognition. Almost without exception, formal approaches have relied on counterfactual theories of causation (notably that of David Lewis), without further investigating how the expression of causality in language might have a cognitive basis, as shown by insights about force transmission in cognitive linguistics (e.g. Talmy, 1988, 2000; Croft, in press), as well as by research on language processing (Wolff, 2007; Wolff et al., 2010), language acquisition (e.g. Bowerman & Choi, 2001; Choi, 2009; Choi & Bowerman, 1991), or infant cognition (e.g. L?cuyer, 1989; Leslie, 1984, 1994; Spelke, 1998; Spelke & Kinzler, 2007; Spelke et al., 1992; L?cuyer, 1989; Mandler, 1998, 2008, 2012). The project brings together linguists and psycholinguists aiming to develop a framework that takes all of these lines of research into account in order to understand how cognitively realistic concepts of causality are combined in language. The present workshop will focus particularly on prelinguistic and early linguistic notions of causality in infants. The program, along with abstracts in French and English, is attached.

I'm actually in New Mexico visiting family at the moment. But we moved to Sydney about 2.5 years ago. So far, it has met and probably surpassed expectations in some ways. We were ready for a change. Good quality of life - with great walks from our house (see photo). And lots of new research collaborations - kids with hearing loss, SLI, Aboriginal languages, ERPs/MEG, which has all been great fun. And bilingualism too! What are you working on? Yes - I imagine not going to conferences one doesn't see a lot of old friends. But I hope there are other consolations? Great to hear from you. Keep in touch.
