A very Happy New Year to you, too, and to everyone else! You sent me the links to the show after the IASCL Montreal conference, but in Europe (where I'm located) it was sadly impossible to view the show. I know this isn't helpful for the viewing survey, but it's a point they may want to pay attention to. Why restrict viewing of the show geographically?

The gradual mastery of these grammatical units marks children’s entry into grammar and provides evidence of their first attempts to construct discourse, participate in verbal interaction, and take their interlocutor's knowledge and point of view into account. Pronouns and determiners are thus at the interface of the structural (systems, forms, structures) and functional (pragmatics, discourse, dialogue) dimensions of language. Analyzing these devices can offer important clarifications regarding the relationships between different levels of language structure and use. A large body of research on pronouns and determiners, both as grammatical morphemes and as referring expressions, has been conducted in the past few years. These studies have explored some of the stages and modalities in the development of various paradigms (fillers, distribution, mastery of an abstract grammatical category, etc.) and have underlined the linguistic factors involved in their development, such as the semantic, phonetic or prosodic dimensions. The first studies on reference looked mainly at narratives or experimental situations. They showed how children’s use of language develops very gradually before becoming adult-like. Other studies dealing mostly with children’s productions in dialogues and in natural contexts investigated the conditions under which referring expressions are first employed. They demonstrated the impact of factors such as the accessibility of the referent and its occurrence in previous discourse. Other interesting aspects studied so far include the links between referring expressions, joint attention and gestures or cognitive development. Referring expressions have also been approached in relation to the type of discourse, dialogue, or activity being carried out, in a variety of contexts. Results of these series of studies suggest that determiners and pronouns need to be examined in connection with each of these dimensions jointly. This approach could help fuel a more general discussion of the acquisition of grammar and grammatical categories, and can contribute to the debate on its theoretical underpinnings. The aim of the conference “Acquisition of Referring Expressions: Crossed Perspectives” is to promote scientific encounters and discussions between researchers who work on these issues in different fields and from different theoretical perspectives. We hope to initiate a debate about topics like the interaction between linguistic levels, statistical and distributional factors in usage and input, cognitive and socio-cognitive development, and dialogue and pragmatic- discursive factors, and thereby enrich our knowledge of the processes underlying language acquisition in general. The conference will combine: - plenary sessions (keynote speakers will be announced shortly) ; - oral presentations (20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for discussion). It is also possible to organize panels of 4 presentations ; - poster presentations. The conference languages will be French and English. The oral presentations and posters will tackle the issue of children’s referring expressions in one or more domains: - Construction of reference - Pragmatics - Cognitive development - Morphosyntax - Semantics - Phonetics and phonology - Prosody - Gesture - Dialogue - Genres and types of discourse - Types of activities and situations - Background-dependent variations (sociocultural, family/educational environment) - Cross-linguistic perspectives - Bilingualism - Speech and language pathology Submissions will be examined by our scientific committee in regards to both their relevance to the conference theme and their scientific quality. Proposal Format Presentation proposals will be registered on-line, via the Easychair platform (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aeref2013) until March 1st. You will find more precise indications on the submission procedure on the conference website (http://www.univ-paris3.fr/ aeref-2013). Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (references excluded). Presenters who wish to propose a panel should also submit an abstract describing the theme of the panel (250 words + title of each presentation). Participants of the panel will submit their own presentation proposal according to the regular procedure for oral presentations, with the additional indication of the panel title in the abstract.

Case systems vary greatly, both in size and in the kind of information they mark, ranging from syntactic, semantic to discourse-pragmatic information. Do children approach the expression of case in a similar way across languages or is the input the sole predictor of when and how specific cases are learned? To understand how children approach case learning we need to compare its development and use by both children and those they interact with in typologically different languages. Some of the main questions we would like to address in this workshop are: - What are the main challenges to the learning of case in the language(s) that you are presenting? - What is the order of cases learned? - What are the criteria for productivity? - What are the patterns of use both in the language of the child and the input? - What are the interrelations between the acquisition of case and agreement or word order?

URL: From jedwards2 at wisc.edu Thu Jan 17 21:52:06 2013 From: jedwards2 at wisc.edu (Jan Edwards) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:52:06 -0600 Subject: post-doctoral position in language at UW-Madison Message-ID: Postdoctoral Position in Language. Faculty in the Department of Psychology and the Department of Communicative Disorders at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are soliciting applications for a postdoctoral position in their NIH-funded Language Training Program: Acquisition and Adult Performance. The Program emphasizes the continuum of language acquisition to the adult state, including both language comprehension and production, including both typical and atypical performance and spanning behavioral, imaging, and computational approaches. The participating Psychology faculty are Martha Alibali, Morton Ann Gernsbacher, Maryellen MacDonald, Tim Rogers, Jenny Saffran, and Mark Seidenberg; participating faculty in Communicative Disorders are Jan Edwards and Susan Ellis Weismer. More information about language research and training faculty can be found at http://glial.psych.wisc.edu/index.php/gradpsychresearch/psychgradresearchfoci/200 (for the six Psychology faculty) and at http://www.comdis.wisc.edu/research.htm (for Drs. Edwards and Ellis Weismer). The successful candidate will benefit from our cohesive group of faculty whose interests span language processes from speech perception to discourse, typical and atypical performance, and from infancy through adulthood. Facilities are excellent. Applicants should have developed research interests in one or more areas of language acquisition, adult comprehension, or adult production. They should be open to expanding their understanding of the relationship between acquisition and adult performance, though there is no requirement to conduct research in multiple age groups. The position is for one year, with renewal for a second year pending satisfactory performance. Salary and benefits are set by NIH guidelines. Provisions of the training program limit funding to US citizens and permanent residents (green card holders). The candidate must have completed the Ph.D. before beginning the position. Ideally the position will begin in the Fall of 2013, but starting dates up to April 30, 2014 are permitted. Applicants should send a CV, several reprints or preprints, and a statement of research interests. This statement should indicate a Language Training Program faculty member who would serve as a primary mentor, and optionally indicate additional training faculty to serve as a secondary mentor(s). The statement should also describe the candidate's goals for research and training during a postdoctoral position, including potential directions in which the candidate would like continue ongoing research and/or to expand his/her expertise into additional areas of language research, consistent with the goals of the training program. Applicants should also provide names of three recommenders and arrange for letters of recommendation to be sent separately. Applicant quality and fit with program faculty research are the primary criteria. Application materials and inquiries about the training program should be sent to languagepostdocs at mailplus.wisc.edu. Inquiries about faculty research can be directed to individual faculty. For fullest consideration, all materials should be received by March 1, 2013, however we will consider applications until the position is filled. UW-Madison is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and members of underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

TiGeR 2013 is the combined meeting of the 10th International Gesture Workshop (GW) and the 3rd Gesture and Speech in Interaction (GESPIN) conference, and is hosted by the Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication (TiCC) of Tilburg University, The Netherlands. During TiGeR 2013, we aim to bring together researchers working on empirical and technical approaches to gesture production and comprehension. The meeting will contain a special theme-session on theoretical and computational models of gesture and speech production. During this special session, we will discuss and compare competing models of the speech-gesture interface, both from an empirical and a technical perspective, with the following invited speakers: - Sotaro Kita (University of Birmingham, UK) - Stefan Kopp (Bielefeld University, Germany) - Catherine Pelachaud (CNRS, France) - Jan de Ruiter (Bielefeld University, Germany) Two other themes that we want to highlight during TiGeR 2013 are cross-cultural differences in gesture production/comprehension and language acquisition and gesture. These topics will be addressed by our invited speakers: - Nick Enfield (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Danielle Matthews (University of Sheffield, UK) TiGeR 2013 hopes to bring together researchers working on gesture from the social sciences and humanities as well as researchers from computer science and engineering, in order to further our understanding of human gesture production and improve the development of interactive systems that exploit gesture as a means of interacting with machines. We invite submissions on all topics related to gesture production and perception. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following list: Gesture research: - Gesture and speech or other natural modalities - Gesture and adaptation - Gesture and aphasia - Gesture in cross-cultural comparisons - Gesture in non-human primates - Gesture and individual differences - Gesture and language acquisition - Gesture and sign language - Gesture and multimodal dialogue - Gesture and embodied cognition - Gesture development and learning Gesture application: - Gesture in virtual and augmented reality - Automatic gesture recognition and/or generation - Gesture in embodied conversational agents - Gesture and social signal processing - Gesture for gaming and entertainment - Gesture for audio-visual applications - Gesture for therapy and rehabilitation - Gesture for education We invite papers for oral as well as for posters presentations.

But I do remember some of the people who were there, namely: Paul Fletcher, David Crystal, Dan Slobin, Natalie Waterson, Catherine Snow, Robin Campbell, Natalie Waterson, Gordon Wells - maybe somebody still has the program (in the cellar)? Eve Clark probably was there too - or both of them: Herb & Eve? Best regards to everybody, Magdalena Smoczynska Melissa Bowerman was there too, of course.

Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3 Universit? Charles de Gaulle, Lille 3 Universit? de Neuch?tel CNRS ANR ACQUISITION OF REFERRING EXPRESSIONS: CROSSED PERSPECTIVES Date of conference: October 25-26, 2013 Location: Paris CALL FOR PAPERS Deadline for submission of abstracts: March 1st, 2013 Contact : aeref2013 at univ-paris3.fr Website : http://www.univ-paris3.fr/aeref-2013 The conference focuses on the acquisition of pronouns and determiners as a key process in children?s linguistic and communicative development. The gradual mastery of these grammatical units marks children?s entry into grammar and provides evidence of their first attempts to construct discourse, participate in verbal interaction, and take their interlocutor's knowledge and point of view into account. Pronouns and determiners are thus at the interface of the structural (systems, forms, structures) and functional (pragmatics, discourse, dialogue) dimensions of language. Analyzing these devices can offer important clarifications regarding the relationships between different levels of language structure and use. A large body of research on pronouns and determiners, both as grammatical morphemes and as referring expressions, has been conducted in the past few years. These studies have explored some of the stages and modalities in the development of various paradigms (fillers, distribution, mastery of an abstract grammatical category, etc.) and have underlined the linguistic factors involved in their development, such as the semantic, phonetic or prosodic dimensions. The first studies on reference looked mainly at narratives or experimental situations. They showed how children?s use of language develops very gradually before becoming adult-like. Other studies dealing mostly with children?s productions in dialogues and in natural contexts investigated the conditions under which referring expressions are first employed. They demonstrated the impact of factors such as the accessibility of the referent and its occurrence in previous discourse. Other interesting aspects studied so far include the links between referring expressions, joint attention and gestures or cognitive development. Referring expressions have also been approached in relation to the type of discourse, dialogue, or activity being carried out, in a variety of contexts. Results of these series of studies suggest that determiners and pronouns need to be examined in connection with each of these dimensions jointly. This approach could help fuel a more general discussion of the acquisition of grammar and grammatical categories, and can contribute to the debate on its theoretical underpinnings. The aim of the conference ?Acquisition of Referring Expressions: Crossed Perspectives? is to promote scientific encounters and discussions between researchers who work on these issues in different fields and from different theoretical perspectives. We hope to initiate a debate about topics like the interaction between linguistic levels, statistical and distributional factors in usage and input, cognitive and socio-cognitive development, and dialogue and pragmatic- discursive factors, and thereby enrich our knowledge of the processes underlying language acquisition in general. The conference will combine: - plenary sessions (keynote speakers will be announced shortly) ; - oral presentations (20 minutes followed by 10 minutes for discussion). It is also possible to organize panels of 4 presentations ; - poster presentations. The conference languages will be French and English. The oral presentations and posters will tackle the issue of children?s referring expressions in one or more domains: - Construction of reference - Pragmatics - Cognitive development - Morphosyntax - Semantics - Phonetics and phonology - Prosody - Gesture - Dialogue - Genres and types of discourse - Types of activities and situations - Background-dependent variations (sociocultural, family/educational environment) - Cross-linguistic perspectives - Bilingualism - Speech and language pathology Submissions will be examined by our scientific committee in regards to both their relevance to the conference theme and their scientific quality. Proposal Format Presentation proposals will be registered on-line, via the Easychair platform (https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aeref2013) until March 1st. You will find more precise indications on the submission procedure on the conference website (http://www.univ-paris3.fr/ aeref-2013). Abstracts should not exceed 500 words (references excluded). Presenters who wish to propose a panel should also submit an abstract describing the theme of the panel (250 words + title of each presentation). Participants of the panel will submit their own presentation proposal according to the regular procedure for oral presentations, with the additional indication of the panel title in the abstract.

(My show includes short videos about language development as well as my own interests in technology and fast cars.) The producer of the series is looking for various kinds of evidence that the shows are being seen. Backers already know that the series won an award from the AAAS, but I think the producers would like to be able to talk about the actual use of the shows, as they apply for funding to continue the series. Their target audience is a bit younger than our undergraduates, but if you have seen or used the show I made, or any of the others, it would be great if you could let me know about it.

Research topics include cooperation, communication, social learning, cultural transmission, embodied cognition, joint action, developmental social cognition, strategic decision-making, problem solving, visual cognition, sensory and statistical learning, visual psychophysics, computational neuroscience, and social cognitive neuroscience. Students will follow courses in cognitive psychology, philosophy of mind, cognitive anthropology, computational cognition and linguistics, and will receive practical research training in the laboratories of the members of this new department. Admission criteria Applicants are expected to hold an internationally recognized Master?s or comparable degree in the standard disciplines that constitute cognitive science. A comparable degree in other Social Sciences, Humanities, or other disciplines will also be considered in case of an excellent academic record. We will consider the applications of exceptional students who only hold a Bachelor degree, provided it is in a discipline closely associated to cognitive science. Application materials As part of their application package, applicants must submit the following materials as general CEU requirements: The completed Online Application Form 2013/2014 A curriculum vitae or resume, including a list of publications, if any Proof of English proficiency (please see CEU Language Requirements here) Two letters of recommendation Academic records - please see http://www.ceu.hu/admissions/apply#3 .

The research proposal should include the research questions, aims and objectives of a research project that is related to the ongoing work in the department. The proposal should situate the project in the context of the existing literature, be clear as to the expected academic contribution, and outline possible appropriate analytical frameworks and methodologies. Note that, if admitted, students will not be expected to pursue the research project as it is outlined in the proposal (though it may form the basis of their doctoral work). The submitted research proposal will be used during the application process to assess the applicant's understanding of what doing research in cognitive science entails. We encourage applicants to consult the website and approach appropriate members of the faculty in advance in order to check the suitability of their research plans.

From lieven at eva.mpg.de Thu Jan 10 16:08:23 2013 From: lieven at eva.mpg.de (Lieven, Elena) Date: Thu, 10 Jan 2013 08:08:23 -0800 Subject: The acquisition of case from a crosslinguistic perspective: ALT Adjacent Workshop Message-ID: Association for Linguistic Typology 10th Biennial Conference (ALT 10): August 15th - 18th, 2013 August 14th: Adjacent Workshop: The acquisition of case from a crosslinguistic perspective The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers working on the acquisition of case in as large a variety of languages as possible. Case systems vary greatly, both in size and in the kind of information they mark, ranging from syntactic, semantic to discourse-pragmatic information. Do children approach the expression of case in a similar way across languages or is the input the sole predictor of when and how specific cases are learned? To understand how children approach case learning we need to compare its development and use by both children and those they interact with in typologically different languages. Some of the main questions we would like to address in this workshop are: - What are the main challenges to the learning of case in the language(s) that you are presenting? - What is the order of cases learned? - What are the criteria for productivity? - What are the patterns of use both in the language of the child and the input? - What are the interrelations between the acquisition of case and agreement or word order?

URL: From jedwards2 at wisc.edu Thu Jan 17 21:52:06 2013 From: jedwards2 at wisc.edu (Jan Edwards) Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 15:52:06 -0600 Subject: post-doctoral position in language at UW-Madison Message-ID: Postdoctoral Position in Language. Faculty in the Department of Psychology and the Department of Communicative Disorders at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are soliciting applications for a postdoctoral position in their NIH-funded Language Training Program: Acquisition and Adult Performance. The Program emphasizes the continuum of language acquisition to the adult state, including both language comprehension and production, including both typical and atypical performance and spanning behavioral, imaging, and computational approaches. The participating Psychology faculty are Martha Alibali, Morton Ann Gernsbacher, Maryellen MacDonald, Tim Rogers, Jenny Saffran, and Mark Seidenberg; participating faculty in Communicative Disorders are Jan Edwards and Susan Ellis Weismer. More information about language research and training faculty can be found at http://glial.psych.wisc.edu/index.php/gradpsychresearch/psychgradresearchfoci/200 (for the six Psychology faculty) and at http://www.comdis.wisc.edu/research.htm (for Drs. Edwards and Ellis Weismer). The successful candidate will benefit from our cohesive group of faculty whose interests span language processes from speech perception to discourse, typical and atypical performance, and from infancy through adulthood. Facilities are excellent. Applicants should have developed research interests in one or more areas of language acquisition, adult comprehension, or adult production. They should be open to expanding their understanding of the relationship between acquisition and adult performance, though there is no requirement to conduct research in multiple age groups. The position is for one year, with renewal for a second year pending satisfactory performance. Salary and benefits are set by NIH guidelines. Provisions of the training program limit funding to US citizens and permanent residents (green card holders). The candidate must have completed the Ph.D. before beginning the position. Ideally the position will begin in the Fall of 2013, but starting dates up to April 30, 2014 are permitted. Applicants should send a CV, several reprints or preprints, and a statement of research interests. This statement should indicate a Language Training Program faculty member who would serve as a primary mentor, and optionally indicate additional training faculty to serve as a secondary mentor(s). The statement should also describe the candidate's goals for research and training during a postdoctoral position, including potential directions in which the candidate would like continue ongoing research and/or to expand his/her expertise into additional areas of language research, consistent with the goals of the training program. Applicants should also provide names of three recommenders and arrange for letters of recommendation to be sent separately. Applicant quality and fit with program faculty research are the primary criteria. Application materials and inquiries about the training program should be sent to languagepostdocs at mailplus.wisc.edu. Inquiries about faculty research can be directed to individual faculty. For fullest consideration, all materials should be received by March 1, 2013, however we will consider applications until the position is filled. UW-Madison is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and members of underrepresented groups are encouraged to apply. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

Most are scanned from paper copies, but for the last two we have electronic copies. We doubt that we will ever find any records from London 1975 or Tokyo 1978, but there are two others that we are pretty convinced someone must have: Austin 1984 Istanbul 1996 We had also hoped that someone might have saved an electronic copy of the programs from Donostia 1999, Madison 2002, and Berlin 2005, but so far no luck on those. We have the paper copies, but having electronic copies would be much nicer. Particularly for Berlin 2005, one would think that an electronic copy might still be floating around. If you can think of anyone who can help on retrieving any of these missing pieces, that would be great.

TiGeR 2013 is the combined meeting of the 10th International Gesture Workshop (GW) and the 3rd Gesture and Speech in Interaction (GESPIN) conference, and is hosted by the Tilburg center for Cognition and Communication (TiCC) of Tilburg University, The Netherlands. During TiGeR 2013, we aim to bring together researchers working on empirical and technical approaches to gesture production and comprehension. The meeting will contain a special theme-session on theoretical and computational models of gesture and speech production. During this special session, we will discuss and compare competing models of the speech-gesture interface, both from an empirical and a technical perspective, with the following invited speakers: - Sotaro Kita (University of Birmingham, UK) - Stefan Kopp (Bielefeld University, Germany) - Catherine Pelachaud (CNRS, France) - Jan de Ruiter (Bielefeld University, Germany) Two other themes that we want to highlight during TiGeR 2013 are cross-cultural differences in gesture production/comprehension and language acquisition and gesture. These topics will be addressed by our invited speakers: - Nick Enfield (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Danielle Matthews (University of Sheffield, UK) TiGeR 2013 hopes to bring together researchers working on gesture from the social sciences and humanities as well as researchers from computer science and engineering, in order to further our understanding of human gesture production and improve the development of interactive systems that exploit gesture as a means of interacting with machines. We invite submissions on all topics related to gesture production and perception. Specific topics include, but are not limited to, the following list: Gesture research: - Gesture and speech or other natural modalities - Gesture and adaptation - Gesture and aphasia - Gesture in cross-cultural comparisons - Gesture in non-human primates - Gesture and individual differences - Gesture and language acquisition - Gesture and sign language - Gesture and multimodal dialogue - Gesture and embodied cognition - Gesture development and learning Gesture application: - Gesture in virtual and augmented reality - Automatic gesture recognition and/or generation - Gesture in embodied conversational agents - Gesture and social signal processing - Gesture for gaming and entertainment - Gesture for audio-visual applications - Gesture for therapy and rehabilitation - Gesture for education We invite papers for oral as well as for posters presentations. More detail about how to submit can be found here: http://tiger.uvt.nl/call-for-papers.html The following researchers have agreed to be members of the Program Committee: - Martha Alibali (University of Chicago, USA) - Elisabeth Andre (University of Augsburg, Germany) - Annelies Braffort (LIMSI-CNRS, France) - Alan Cienki (Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam, The Netherlands) - Onno Crasborn (Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Nick Enfield (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Sylvie Gibet (University of Bretagne Sud, France) - Marianne Gullberg (Lund University, Sweden) - Judith Holler (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Maciej Karpinski (Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland) - Spencer Kelly (Colgate University, USA) - Michael Kipp (Saarland University, Germany) - Sotaro Kita (University of Birmingham, UK) - Stefan Kopp (Bielefeld University, Germany) - Anna Kuhlen (Humboldt Universit?t zu Berlin, Germany) - Ulf Liszkowski (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Max Louwerse (University of Memphis/University of Tilburg, USA/The Netherlands) - Danielle Matthews (University of Sheffield, UK) - Cornelia Muller (Europa Universit?t Viadrina Frankfurt/Oder, Germany) - Asli Ozyurek (Radboud University, Nijmegen & Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen, The Netherlands) - Catherine Pelachaud (CNRS at Telecom Paris Tech, France) - Pamela Perniss (Deafness, Cognition and Language Research Centre, UCL, UK) - Thies Pfeiffer (Bielefeld University, Germany) - Matthias Rehm (Aalborg University, Germany) - Miranda Rose (La Trobe University, Australia) - Eric Vatikiotis-Bateson (The University of British-Columbia, Canada) - Gabriella Vigliocco (University College London, UK) - Perta Wagner (Bielefeld University, Germany) The TiGeR 2013 Organizing Committee: - Marieke Hoetjes, Tilburg University - Emiel Krahmer, Tilburg University - Lisette Mol, Tilburg University - Karin van Nispen, Tilburg University - Eric Postma, Tilburg University - Marc Swerts, Tilburg University - Paul Vogt, Tilburg University If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the organizers at tiger2013tilburg at gmail.com. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

Psychologically, I find it highly improbable that I could ever throw it away - which, of course, explains why it is physically diffiocult to find it! But I do remember some of the people who were there, namely: Paul Fletcher, David Crystal, Dan Slobin, Natalie Waterson, Catherine Snow, Robin Campbell, Natalie Waterson, Gordon Wells - maybe somebody still has the program (in the cellar)? Eve Clark probably was there too - or both of them: Herb & Eve? Best regards to everybody, Magdalena Smoczynska Melissa Bowerman was there too, of course.

Most are scanned from paper copies, but for the last two we have electronic copies.

We have the paper copies, but having electronic copies would be much nicer.
