Message-ID: Hi all, I'm currently mentoring an undergraduate student who is interested in the role of older siblings in early language development. I typically work with adults, so the CHILDES databases seemed like a potential way to help her get some experience working with child language data given limited time and resources. I'm new to using the CHILDES databases, so I may have overlooked this information, but is family/demographic information easily available for any of the children in the larger sample databases (such as the New England, Rollins, Davis, or HSLLD)?

In-Reply-To: <18939_1349148178_q923Mw0Y005387_0647e44e-07bb-470b-8836-0dffacfaa93b@googlegroups.com> Message-ID: Dear Jessica, Unfortunately, researchers often do not systematically address this issue. For example, in the New England corpus, the children came into the lab, so information about siblings seemed less important . However, the Hall corpus was done in the home and at school and there are siblings around and their ages are recorded. For the smaller case studies, older child output is often available. For example, in the MacWhinney corpus, Ross is nearly always talking with his younger brother Mark. The Ervin-Tripp data, which are still being put into CHAT have families with older siblings present. And there are even some corpora, such as the Conti-Ramsden ones where data comes from both a child with SLI and the sibling, but in separate files. If you work with a given transcript, often you will find that information encoded in the header line of the file itself. Basically, there is some information on this, but it is not very systematic. If your interest is basically in the role of older siblings, why not just go through to spot transcripts in which older siblings are present and work with those? Perhaps some other readers will have further suggestions. -Brian MacWhinney On Oct 1, 2012, at 11:22 PM, "J.Alexander" wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm currently mentoring an undergraduate student who is interested in the role of older siblings in early language development.

In-Reply-To: <96256E5F-7327-4DD9-965E-D255426AC778@cmu.edu> Message-ID: Brian, Thanks so much. Those are very helpful solutions. Our ultimate goal was to find a corpus where we could compare children with older siblings to those without on a number of different measures (sentence complexity, unique words used, etc) rather than looking at sibling interactions themselves. I'll poke around in the file headers and see what I can find. I assumed we'd eventually have to tweak the research question as we saw what information was available. It's a student's senior thesis, so while we're limited on time and resources, we do have a great deal of flexibility in the ultimate research question. It would be possible for my student to collect a small dataset of CDI responses for only children and those with siblings, but I wanted to help her gain some experience working with transcriptions of utterances as well as the CDI.

There should be information on the subject's 2 -years and 9-months older sibling's production to her younger sibling. The best source would probably be the linked sound files and transcripts. It would be important to compare the sound files to the transcripts because the transcribers at Max Planck sometimes had trouble distinguishing between the two children. The diary data also include information about siblings speech to each other. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

We would like to post on the IASCL site the statistics on the numbers of contributors and attendees since the first meeting in 1975. We believe that we would see an enormous increase over the years. Data of this sort could be very useful for funding requests, especially for international collaborations, since they would document the widespread interest and value of work in child language. Some of you were organizers, some contributors, some attendees. Each of you may have different information to convey. Brian and I will attempt to collate and organize the information so that it will be useful. Perhaps you have a program from one of the previous meetings. If you could mail us a copy or scan a copy, we will undertake to scan any programs we receive and return the originals to their owners and perform the tabulations listed below as well as others that you may suggest. Even if all you know is that the meeting you attended did not have concurrent sessions and met in a room that held no more than N people, that would be helpful. We have no way of knowing whether we will be flooded with information or will receive almost none. At present, we're hoping for the former more than the latter! Here is the information we are particularly interested in: number of talks number of posters number of registered participants number of faculty, post-docs, independent researchers, students number of countries represented number of languages reported on in a talk or poster number of symposia number of symposia with more than one country represented invited addresses (with stats on country represented and sex) organizers location of meeting (e.g., a university, a convention center) If there is other information you think it would be useful to track, please let us know. Please also correct, if necessary, the information we have at present on dates, locations, and primary organizers of previous conferences.

In-Reply-To: <506BAE5A.80004@umanitoba.ca> Message-ID: Hi, Again I don't know whether my corpus would be of interest but it contains naturalistic interactions (dinner time, playing games, chatting etc) where the main speakers are a mother and her two children (2 and half years difference between them). It is a longitudinal corpus spanning approximately 3 years (at the first recording the siblings were ages 3:5 and 5:10). It is a bilingual corpus (English and Brazilian Portuguese) where my aim was to study the codeswitching practices of the family, so that clearly adds another variable into the equation. The whole corpus is coded for addressee (and language) so that may aid analysis. I am currently checking the last few files but anticipate it's addition to the CHILDES database very soon. However, if you were interested I would be happy for you to have access before its contribution.

Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 08:30:40 +0000 Subject: 2nd Call: Residence Abroad, Social Networks and Second Language Learning Message-ID: Residence Abroad, Social Networks and Second Language Learning 11th & 12th April, 2013 Centre for Applied Language Research, University of Southampton, UK Conference website: http://www.llas.ac.uk/residence-abroad in collaboration with: University Council for Modern Languages AILA Research Network on "Study Abroad and Language Acquisition" Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies Paper and Poster Abstract Submission Deadline: 5th November, 2012 Paper and Poster Notification of Acceptance: 11th January, 2013 Keynote Speakers: Jim Coleman, Open University, UK Celeste Kinginger, Pennsylvania State University, USA Ulrich Teichler, University of Kassel, Germany Study/ residence abroad is a major and growing feature of higher education today, with an estimated 3.7million students participating annually. 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 available from the conference webpage: http://www.llas.ac.uk/residence-abroad 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.

URL: From macw at cmu.edu Sat Oct 6 19:26:50 2012 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2012 15:26:50 -0400 Subject: KidEval Message-ID: Dear Info-CHILDES, In the context of the AphasiaBank project, we have developed a system for automatic profiling from language transcripts called EVAL. The predecessors of this system were the CLAN programs of MORTABLE which dumps out counts of all grammatical morphemes from the %mor line to rows in an Excel spreadsheet and MEASURES which does the same for additional things like MLU, TTR, pauses, retraces and so on. MORTABLE and MEASURES are designed primarily for researchers who are conducting cross-sectional studies to speed up and synchronize their work. In these programs, the basic idea is that rows in the Excel spreadsheet are participants and columns are measures. Computation of the various measures depends on accurate use of CHAT transcription and then running of the MOR program to create a %mor line. All recent work in AphasiaBank and the majority of the corpora now in CHILDES have these features. The next step has involved configuring this system into something more relevant to clinicians. In that case, the idea was to focus not on output for groups, but for individual participants. Here, what is particularly interesting is the ability to compare the participant with some reference group, perhaps normal controls or perhaps other people with Broca's aphasia. For AphasiaBank, this is easy, because the whole project was designed to collect data in this format. This system is called EVAL and it is now operational. However, it is primarily conceived of as a method for studying people with aphasia. This use of reference databases can also be extended to child language, much as is done now in the SALT framework. We are now working with Nan Bernstein Ratner to modify the MEASURES program for use with child language transcripts. The new program would be called KidEval. Here, we envision a combined usage, both with individual children and with groups. In addition to the columns currently in MEASURES, we hope to add DSS, VOCD, IPSyn, and counts of the 14 morphemes of Brown (1973). A big challenge here will be the addition of reference data sets. In child language, there are so many possible reference sets, varying by age, language, bilingual status, topic, method of elicitation, and so on. My sense is that we want to make available all possible reference datasets and allow the user to select the ones that best match the current child or group of children. So, this will be a big project. This same method could also possibly be extended to the PHON program that Yvan Rose and Greg Hedlund have built. Again, either individual children or groups of children would be compared against some standard set of control or norm data for phonological development. We would love to receive suggestions regarding this project, including ideas about reference databases and additional automatic measures, either posted to the list or sent directly to me, Nan, or Yvan, depending on the focus. -- Brian MacWhinney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

However, I am curious why you would expect the coding of disfluencies to be to be different for Spanish. Do you mean that the actual content of filled pauses is different? Just introspecting a bit, it seems to me that Spanish speakers tend to prolong vowels more than in English. They tend to use slightly different fillers. More "ee" and "ah" and seldom "um". Differences in the actual content of filled pauses are common between languages. One of my favorite fillers is the Hungarian "izé" which is so marked. > Perhaps some differences are just quantitative. For example, numbers of repeated words might differ, but that would not impact your coding scheme. > Or perhaps you are talking about the details of error analysis, rather than disfluencies. If that is the focus, you might want to take a look at the system for error coding we are using in the AphasiaBank project. > > -- Brian MacWhinney > > > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group info-childes. > You can post via email. > To unsubscribe from this group, send an empty message. > For more options, visit this group. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group. > To post to this group, send email to info-childes at googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to info-childes+unsubscribe at googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

The deadline is 15 January, next year. Best regards, Katharina Rohlfing. PD Dr. Katharina J. Rohlfing Emergentist Semantics Group Universität Bielefeld, CITEC http://www.cit-ec.de/es ----------------- IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development Special Issue on Microdynamics of Interaction: Capturing and Modeling Early Social Learning Call for Papers We solicit papers that show approaches to bridging macro- and micro-level behavioral research on the “social interaction loop” that supports early learning. By “social interaction loop” we mean action sequences during interactions between learners and teachers. There are many unanswered questions about the content and qualities of those interactions. For example, how is the information available to a new learner selected and shaped by a parent or teacher? How do learners display their knowledge or ability, and how do teachers pick up on this information and adapt to it? The phenomena of interest prototypically focus on human infants and parents, but the same questions can be asked about non-human juvenile-adult dyads, or robot learners with human teachers. There are exciting recent efforts to precisely quantify and describe what these reciprocal interactions provide; that is, to specify the events and mechanisms that support social learning and adaptation. Contributions can exemplify diverse approaches to studying learning through real-time, contingent, reciprocal interaction (or “co-action”). The focus of manuscripts should be on bridging macro-level (i.e., qualitative; long time-scales) and micro-level (i.e., descriptive, short time-scales) data, analyses, and/or explanations. We encourage a broad range of approaches and phenomena drawn from different disciplines, including but not limited to, anthropology, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, developmental science, ethnography, linguistics, machine learning, neuroscience, robotics, pediatrics, philosophy, psychology). Interested parties are encouraged to contact the editors with questions about the suitability of a manuscript. Editors: · Gedeon Deák, UCSD, deak at cogsci.ucsd.edu · Katharina J. Rohlfing, Bielefeld University, kjr at uni-bielefeld.de Two kinds of submissions are possible: · Regular papers, up to 15 double column pages, should describe new empirical findings that utilize innovative methodological and/or analytic techniques for extracting structure from rich, high-dimensional behavioral data. · Correspondence papers, up to 8 double column pages, can focus on one of three more limited goals: 1. Modeling: Quantitative methods for explaining the sorts of patterns found in social action loops of teacher-learner interactions. Papers should specify how the model can capture the dynamics described above, and/or ways to test those models using further behavioral and modeling studies. 2. Methods: Practical explanations of novel tools for collecting, coding, and/or analyzing dyadic interaction data. Papers should describe the kinds of interaction-loops for which the method is appropriate, and should explain what gap-bridging challenge is met by using the method. 3. Theoretical perspectives into social interaction loops, and the importance of bridging micro- and macro-level explanations. Theoretical essays will preferably incorporate insights and constructs from different disciplines (cognitive science, neurobiology, computational models, machine learning, sociology, and ethnology). Instructions for authors: http://cis.ieee.org/ieee-transactions-on-autonomous-mental-development.html We are accepting submissions through Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tamd-ieee (please select “Microdynamics” as the submission type) When submitting your manuscript, please also cc it to deak at cogsci.ucsd.edu and kjr at uni-bielefeld.de.

The new LHQ has much enhanced functionality on the web and can collect data in the cloud (and it works much better than googleforms). Data will be accumulatively saved as the participants fill in the online questionnaire (there will no longer be transcription errors with data collected this way). Privacy issues are considered by an investigator-based sign-up process and the participants will use randomly assigned numbers to complete the LHQ. Here is the website (http://cogsci.psu.edu/lhq.shtml), along with a description of how to use the LHQ. Please let me know if you encounter any problems or if you have any comments and suggestions. We will continue to update the website so that it can suit the needs of your study. Best wishes, Ping Li --------------- http://cogsci.psu.edu/lhq.shtml ---------------- Language history questionnaire (LHQ) is an important tool for assessing language learners' linguistic background, the context and habits of language use, proficiency in multiple languages, and the dominance and cultural identity of the languages acquired. Outcomes from such assessments have often been used to predict or correlate with learners' linguistic performance in cognitive and behavioral tests. Previously we identified the most commonly asked questions in published questionnaires and proposed a generic LHQ (Li, Sepanski, & Zhao, 2006). Taking advantage of the dynamic features of web-based interfaces, we have implemented a new cloud-based LHQ, in four different modules to suit different researchers' focuses and needs (history, usage, proficiency, and dominance). The new LHQ will allow investigators to dynamically produce their own LHQ on the fly, and allow participants to complete the LHQ online through individualized URLs. The results are saved in a spreadsheet for all participants who have completed the LHQ. The investigators can view, download, sort, and delete the LHQ results on the web. Privacy issues are handled through online assignments of ID numbers for experiments and recording of data with only participant numbers. The new LHQ is estimated to save an average of 40-50 hours per experiment while eliminating coding errors from manually transcribing LHQ results. The new online LHQ is easy to use. Simply follow the three steps below. *Step 1:* The investigator or experimenter completes the sign-up process (click on Sign-Up below under LHQ Functions), and receives a unique Experiment ID and a unique URL associated with his or her experiment. *Step 2:* The participant completes the LHQ online through the unique URL, and data (with only participant numbers) are automatically saved. The LHQ is self-explanatory, and there are often pull-down menus for the participant to use. *Step 3:* The investigator or experimenter accesses the data through the unique Experiment ID (from Step 1). He or she then deletes the data so that no data are stored in the cloud after LHQ results are obtained. Please cite the reference "Li, P., Sepanski, S., & Zhao, X. (2006). Language history questionnaires: A web-based interface for bilingual research. Behavior Research Methods, 38, 202-210."in any publications that report data based on the LHQ. A future reference to the new LHQ may be published and updated here. If you have any questions or need further information on the questionnaire or the use of it, please contact pul8 at psu.edu or fvz5016 at psu.edu.

Mandarin Chinese gradually became my dominate language since I started per-school. When I left Taiwan in my 20s, I spoke Mandarin with a mainland accent as it was regarded more highly then. The language status of Taiwanese in Taiwan now is a lot higher than it was. However, not many of our younger generations use it as parents predominately speak Mandarin with their children. I am not sure if my language experience will be relevant to your book. However, please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help.

Message-ID: Hi all, I'm currently mentoring an undergraduate student who is interested in the role of older siblings in early language development. I typically work with adults, so the CHILDES databases seemed like a potential way to help her get some experience working with child language data given limited time and resources. I'm new to using the CHILDES databases, so I may have overlooked this information, but is family/demographic information easily available for any of the children in the larger sample databases (such as the New England, Rollins, Davis, or HSLLD)?

In-Reply-To: <18939_1349148178_q923Mw0Y005387_0647e44e-07bb-470b-8836-0dffacfaa93b@googlegroups.com> Message-ID: Dear Jessica, Unfortunately, researchers often do not systematically address this issue. For example, in the New England corpus, the children came into the lab, so information about siblings seemed less important . However, the Hall corpus was done in the home and at school and there are siblings around and their ages are recorded. For the smaller case studies, older child output is often available. For example, in the MacWhinney corpus, Ross is nearly always talking with his younger brother Mark. The Ervin-Tripp data, which are still being put into CHAT have families with older siblings present. And there are even some corpora, such as the Conti-Ramsden ones where data comes from both a child with SLI and the sibling, but in separate files. If you work with a given transcript, often you will find that information encoded in the header line of the file itself. Basically, there is some information on this, but it is not very systematic. If your interest is basically in the role of older siblings, why not just go through to spot transcripts in which older siblings are present and work with those?

In-Reply-To: <96256E5F-7327-4DD9-965E-D255426AC778@cmu.edu> Message-ID: Brian, Thanks so much. Those are very helpful solutions. Our ultimate goal was to find a corpus where we could compare children with older siblings to those without on a number of different measures (sentence complexity, unique words used, etc) rather than looking at sibling interactions themselves. I'll poke around in the file headers and see what I can find. I assumed we'd eventually have to tweak the research question as we saw what information was available. It's a student's senior thesis, so while we're limited on time and resources, we do have a great deal of flexibility in the ultimate research question. It would be possible for my student to collect a small dataset of CDI responses for only children and those with siblings, but I wanted to help her gain some experience working with transcriptions of utterances as well as the CDI.

There should be information on the subject's 2 -years and 9-months older sibling's production to her younger sibling. The best source would probably be the linked sound files and transcripts. It would be important to compare the sound files to the transcripts because the transcribers at Max Planck sometimes had trouble distinguishing between the two children. The diary data also include information about siblings speech to each other. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

We would like to post on the IASCL site the statistics on the numbers of contributors and attendees since the first meeting in 1975. We believe that we would see an enormous increase over the years. Data of this sort could be very useful for funding requests, especially for international collaborations, since they would document the widespread interest and value of work in child language. Some of you were organizers, some contributors, some attendees. Each of you may have different information to convey. Brian and I will attempt to collate and organize the information so that it will be useful. Perhaps you have a program from one of the previous meetings. If you could mail us a copy or scan a copy, we will undertake to scan any programs we receive and return the originals to their owners and perform the tabulations listed below as well as others that you may suggest. Even if all you know is that the meeting you attended did not have concurrent sessions and met in a room that held no more than N people, that would be helpful. We have no way of knowing whether we will be flooded with information or will receive almost none. At present, we're hoping for the former more than the latter! Here is the information we are particularly interested in: number of talks number of posters number of registered participants number of faculty, post-docs, independent researchers, students number of countries represented number of languages reported on in a talk or poster number of symposia number of symposia with more than one country represented invited addresses (with stats on country represented and sex) organizers location of meeting (e.g., a university, a convention center) If there is other information you think it would be useful to track, please let us know. Please also correct, if necessary, the information we have at present on dates, locations, and primary organizers of previous conferences.

In-Reply-To: <506BAE5A.80004@umanitoba.ca> Message-ID: Hi, Again I don't know whether my corpus would be of interest but it contains naturalistic interactions (dinner time, playing games, chatting etc) where the main speakers are a mother and her two children (2 and half years difference between them). It is a longitudinal corpus spanning approximately 3 years (at the first recording the siblings were ages 3:5 and 5:10). It is a bilingual corpus (English and Brazilian Portuguese) where my aim was to study the codeswitching practices of the family, so that clearly adds another variable into the equation. The whole corpus is coded for addressee (and language) so that may aid analysis. I am currently checking the last few files but anticipate it's addition to the CHILDES database very soon. However, if you were interested I would be happy for you to have access before its contribution.

Date: Wed, 3 Oct 2012 08:30:40 +0000 Subject: 2nd Call: Residence Abroad, Social Networks and Second Language Learning Message-ID: Residence Abroad, Social Networks and Second Language Learning 11th & 12th April, 2013 Centre for Applied Language Research, University of Southampton, UK Conference website: http://www.llas.ac.uk/residence-abroad in collaboration with: University Council for Modern Languages AILA Research Network on "Study Abroad and Language Acquisition" Centre for Languages, Linguistics and Area Studies Paper and Poster Abstract Submission Deadline: 5th November, 2012 Paper and Poster Notification of Acceptance: 11th January, 2013 Keynote Speakers: Jim Coleman, Open University, UK Celeste Kinginger, Pennsylvania State University, USA Ulrich Teichler, University of Kassel, Germany Study/ residence abroad is a major and growing feature of higher education today, with an estimated 3.7million students participating annually. 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 available from the conference webpage: http://www.llas.ac.uk/residence-abroad 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.

URL: From macw at cmu.edu Sat Oct 6 19:26:50 2012 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Sat, 6 Oct 2012 15:26:50 -0400 Subject: KidEval Message-ID: Dear Info-CHILDES, In the context of the AphasiaBank project, we have developed a system for automatic profiling from language transcripts called EVAL. The predecessors of this system were the CLAN programs of MORTABLE which dumps out counts of all grammatical morphemes from the %mor line to rows in an Excel spreadsheet and MEASURES which does the same for additional things like MLU, TTR, pauses, retraces and so on. MORTABLE and MEASURES are designed primarily for researchers who are conducting cross-sectional studies to speed up and synchronize their work. In these programs, the basic idea is that rows in the Excel spreadsheet are participants and columns are measures. Computation of the various measures depends on accurate use of CHAT transcription and then running of the MOR program to create a %mor line. All recent work in AphasiaBank and the majority of the corpora now in CHILDES have these features. The next step has involved configuring this system into something more relevant to clinicians. In that case, the idea was to focus not on output for groups, but for individual participants. Here, what is particularly interesting is the ability to compare the participant with some reference group, perhaps normal controls or perhaps other people with Broca's aphasia. For AphasiaBank, this is easy, because the whole project was designed to collect data in this format. This system is called EVAL and it is now operational. However, it is primarily conceived of as a method for studying people with aphasia. This use of reference databases can also be extended to child language, much as is done now in the SALT framework. We are now working with Nan Bernstein Ratner to modify the MEASURES program for use with child language transcripts. The new program would be called KidEval. Here, we envision a combined usage, both with individual children and with groups. In addition to the columns currently in MEASURES, we hope to add DSS, VOCD, IPSyn, and counts of the 14 morphemes of Brown (1973). A big challenge here will be the addition of reference data sets. In child language, there are so many possible reference sets, varying by age, language, bilingual status, topic, method of elicitation, and so on. My sense is that we want to make available all possible reference datasets and allow the user to select the ones that best match the current child or group of children. So, this will be a big project. This same method could also possibly be extended to the PHON program that Yvan Rose and Greg Hedlund have built. Again, either individual children or groups of children would be compared against some standard set of control or norm data for phonological development. We would love to receive suggestions regarding this project, including ideas about reference databases and additional automatic measures, either posted to the list or sent directly to me, Nan, or Yvan, depending on the focus. -- Brian MacWhinney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

However, I am curious why you would expect the coding of disfluencies to be to be different for Spanish. Do you mean that the actual content of filled pauses is different? Just introspecting a bit, it seems to me that Spanish speakers tend to prolong vowels more than in English. They tend to use slightly different fillers. More "ee" and "ah" and seldom "um". Differences in the actual content of filled pauses are common between languages. One of my favorite fillers is the Hungarian "iz?" which is so marked. > Perhaps some differences are just quantitative. For example, numbers of repeated words might differ, but that would not impact your coding scheme. > Or perhaps you are talking about the details of error analysis, rather than disfluencies. If that is the focus, you might want to take a look at the system for error coding we are using in the AphasiaBank project. > > -- Brian MacWhinney > > > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group info-childes. > You can post via email. > To unsubscribe from this group, send an empty message. > For more options, visit this group. > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group. > To post to this group, send email to info-childes at googlegroups.com. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to info-childes+unsubscribe at googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

We may have to change the focus of the project somewhat depending on what materials are available, but since I'm working with an undergraduate student, we have to keep it fairly simple.

To pre-register for the symposium, as well as the BU Conference on Language Development, go to http://www.bu.edu/bucld/conference-info/registration/ BUCLD home page: http://www.bu.edu/bucld/ The cost of registration for the SLD symposium is $20 for members, $10 for student members; $50 for non-members, $25 for student non-members. *New SLD Student Award*: The Society for Language Development invites applications for a new SLD Student Award, sponsored by the Cognitive Science Society. This award is intended to help defray the costs of attending the Symposium, for graduate students who are presenting papers or posters at BUCLD. The award includes a year's free membership in the Society for Language Development, a year's free membership in the Cognitive Science Society, free admission to this year's SLD Symposium, and a cash award of $75. Applicants should send a CV and their accepted BUCLD abstract (paper, poster, or alternate status) by email to Cynthia Fisher at clfishe at illinois.edu; applications are due by Oct 15. Two graduate students whose CVs show a record of achievement and of sustained interest in interdisciplinary research will be selected. Award recipients will be notified by email before the conference (approximately Oct 25), and the awards will be announced at the SLD Symposium on Nov. 1.

The deadline is 15 January, next year. Best regards, Katharina Rohlfing. PD Dr. Katharina J. Rohlfing Emergentist Semantics Group Universit?t Bielefeld, CITEC http://www.cit-ec.de/es ----------------- IEEE Transactions on Autonomous Mental Development Special Issue on Microdynamics of Interaction: Capturing and Modeling Early Social Learning Call for Papers We solicit papers that show approaches to bridging macro- and micro-level behavioral research on the ?social interaction loop? that supports early learning. By ?social interaction loop? we mean action sequences during interactions between learners and teachers. There are many unanswered questions about the content and qualities of those interactions. For example, how is the information available to a new learner selected and shaped by a parent or teacher? How do learners display their knowledge or ability, and how do teachers pick up on this information and adapt to it? The phenomena of interest prototypically focus on human infants and parents, but the same questions can be asked about non-human juvenile-adult dyads, or robot learners with human teachers. There are exciting recent efforts to precisely quantify and describe what these reciprocal interactions provide; that is, to specify the events and mechanisms that support social learning and adaptation. Contributions can exemplify diverse approaches to studying learning through real-time, contingent, reciprocal interaction (or ?co-action?). The focus of manuscripts should be on bridging macro-level (i.e., qualitative; long time-scales) and micro-level (i.e., descriptive, short time-scales) data, analyses, and/or explanations. We encourage a broad range of approaches and phenomena drawn from different disciplines, including but not limited to, anthropology, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, developmental science, ethnography, linguistics, machine learning, neuroscience, robotics, pediatrics, philosophy, psychology). Interested parties are encouraged to contact the editors with questions about the suitability of a manuscript. Editors: ? Gedeon De?k, UCSD, deak at cogsci.ucsd.edu ? Katharina J. Rohlfing, Bielefeld University, kjr at uni-bielefeld.de Two kinds of submissions are possible: ? Regular papers, up to 15 double column pages, should describe new empirical findings that utilize innovative methodological and/or analytic techniques for extracting structure from rich, high-dimensional behavioral data. ? Correspondence papers, up to 8 double column pages, can focus on one of three more limited goals: 1. Modeling: Quantitative methods for explaining the sorts of patterns found in social action loops of teacher-learner interactions. Papers should specify how the model can capture the dynamics described above, and/or ways to test those models using further behavioral and modeling studies. 2. Methods: Practical explanations of novel tools for collecting, coding, and/or analyzing dyadic interaction data. Papers should describe the kinds of interaction-loops for which the method is appropriate, and should explain what gap-bridging challenge is met by using the method. 3. Theoretical perspectives into social interaction loops, and the importance of bridging micro- and macro-level explanations. Theoretical essays will preferably incorporate insights and constructs from different disciplines (cognitive science, neurobiology, computational models, machine learning, sociology, and ethnology). Instructions for authors: http://cis.ieee.org/ieee-transactions-on-autonomous-mental-development.html We are accepting submissions through Manuscript Central at http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tamd-ieee (please select ?Microdynamics? as the submission type) When submitting your manuscript, please also cc it to deak at cogsci.ucsd.edu and kjr at uni-bielefeld.de.

The new LHQ has much enhanced functionality on the web and can collect data in the cloud (and it works much better than googleforms). Data will be accumulatively saved as the participants fill in the online questionnaire (there will no longer be transcription errors with data collected this way). Privacy issues are considered by an investigator-based sign-up process and the participants will use randomly assigned numbers to complete the LHQ. Here is the website (http://cogsci.psu.edu/lhq.shtml), along with a description of how to use the LHQ. Please let me know if you encounter any problems or if you have any comments and suggestions. We will continue to update the website so that it can suit the needs of your study. Best wishes, Ping Li --------------- http://cogsci.psu.edu/lhq.shtml ---------------- Language history questionnaire (LHQ) is an important tool for assessing language learners' linguistic background, the context and habits of language use, proficiency in multiple languages, and the dominance and cultural identity of the languages acquired. Outcomes from such assessments have often been used to predict or correlate with learners' linguistic performance in cognitive and behavioral tests. Previously we identified the most commonly asked questions in published questionnaires and proposed a generic LHQ (Li, Sepanski, & Zhao, 2006). Taking advantage of the dynamic features of web-based interfaces, we have implemented a new cloud-based LHQ, in four different modules to suit different researchers' focuses and needs (history, usage, proficiency, and dominance). The new LHQ will allow investigators to dynamically produce their own LHQ on the fly, and allow participants to complete the LHQ online through individualized URLs. The results are saved in a spreadsheet for all participants who have completed the LHQ. The investigators can view, download, sort, and delete the LHQ results on the web. Privacy issues are handled through online assignments of ID numbers for experiments and recording of data with only participant numbers. The new LHQ is estimated to save an average of 40-50 hours per experiment while eliminating coding errors from manually transcribing LHQ results. The new online LHQ is easy to use. Simply follow the three steps below. *Step 1:* The investigator or experimenter completes the sign-up process (click on Sign-Up below under LHQ Functions), and receives a unique Experiment ID and a unique URL associated with his or her experiment. *Step 2:* The participant completes the LHQ online through the unique URL, and data (with only participant numbers) are automatically saved. The LHQ is self-explanatory, and there are often pull-down menus for the participant to use. *Step 3:* The investigator or experimenter accesses the data through the unique Experiment ID (from Step 1). He or she then deletes the data so that no data are stored in the cloud after LHQ results are obtained. Please cite the reference "Li, P., Sepanski, S., & Zhao, X. (2006). Language history questionnaires: A web-based interface for bilingual research. Behavior Research Methods, 38, 202-210."in any publications that report data based on the LHQ. A future reference to the new LHQ may be published and updated here. If you have any questions or need further information on the questionnaire or the use of it, please contact pul8 at psu.edu or fvz5016 at psu.edu.

Mandarin Chinese gradually became my dominate language since I started per-school. When I left Taiwan in my 20s, I spoke Mandarin with a mainland accent as it was regarded more highly then. The language status of Taiwanese in Taiwan now is a lot higher than it was. However, not many of our younger generations use it as parents predominately speak Mandarin with their children. I am not sure if my language experience will be relevant to your book. However, please feel free to contact me if I can be of any help.
