Start date: As soon as possible, but not after June 1st. See below for details. Best, Michael Ullman *************************************** THE BRAIN AND LANGUAGE LAB The Brain and Language Lab at Georgetown University, directed by Michael Ullman, investigates the biological and psychological bases of first and second language in normal and disordered children and adults, and the relations between language and other cognitive domains (primarily memory and music). The lab's members test their hypotheses using a set of complementary behavioral, neurological, electrophysiologial (ERPs), neuroimaging (fMRI), and biological (genetic, endocrine) approaches. The lab is interested in the normal acquisition and processing of language, and its variability as a function of factors such as genotype, hormone levels, sex, handedness, age, and learning context (e.g., classroom vs. immersion). Additionally, the lab investigates the breakdown and recovery of language and other functions in a variety of disorders, including Specific Language Impairment, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and aphasia. For more details on the Brain and Language Lab, please seehttp://brainlang.georgetown.edu.

It should preferably be a short test that can be used for all these age groups, giving at least a global indication of left or right dominance. I am assuming here that being a patient or not does not make a difference for the type of test. Using a computer or concrete materials and involvement of parents are all an option. I would be grateful for any recommendations for this kind of test.

In addition, the overall TalkBank system was today approved as a member of the international CLARIN (clarin.eu) Federation of language data centers, funded by grants from the European Union and member countries. TalkBank is the only CLARIN center outside of the EU, but hopefully there will be others in the future. You will also now find the CLARIN logo at the bottom of the CHILDES and TalkBank pages. The addition of CHILDES and TalkBank to CLARIN and the receipt of the DSA approval are based on the work that Leonid Spektor did for creating CMDI Metadata and Handle Server PIDs and on work that Franklin Chen did to set up methods for SSL secure logon, XML validation, and InCommon federated login. These various structures will be increasingly important in the future as CLARIN develops new web services and searching methods such as the Virtual Language Observatory. -- Brian MacWhinney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

Moreover, since the DSA recognition implies -- as far as I understand it -- also (indirect) entrance of the CHILDES/TALKBANK corpora into the Web of Science (WoS), this represents a recognition of the intellectual efforts researchers put into data collection, transcription and coding.

Prospective authors can contact Barbara Kelly (b.kelly at unimelb.edu.au), Gillian Wigglesworth (g.wigglesworth at unimelb.edu.au) and myself (evan.kidd at anu.edu.au) to discuss potential contributions. Flyer also attached. Submissions due September 30th 2014. BW Evan Editors: Barbara Kelly, Evan Kidd & Gillian Wigglesworth Title: Indigenous children's language: Acquisition, preservation and evolution of language in minority contexts Over the last decade or so there has been a surge in interest in the acquisition of small Indigenous languages across the world. There are a few significant reasons for this growth. Firstly, indigenous languages are dying at an alarming rate, which means that now is often our last chance to study their acquisition. Secondly, there is a broad recognition among child language researchers that our theories of acquisition are skewed by the overrepresentation of data from large European languages (especially English), whereas many children across the world are acquiring typologically under-studied languages (e.g. polysynthetic languages), often in situations of rapid language shift. Field studies, in contexts such as remote communities, or investigations of minority language users' development in multilingual societies will be of interest. A range of disciplinary perspectives, theoretical positions, and methodological strategies is likely to be represented in the Special Issue. Prospective authors are encouraged to email the editors to discuss potential contributions (b.kelly at unimelb.edu.au; evan.kidd at anu.edu.au; g.wigglesworth at unimelb.edu.au). Papers should be submitted through the First Language manuscript central site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/fla) by 30th. September 2014. Papers should be not more than 8000 words in length, and conform to the First Language submission guidelines. All papers will be submitted to the normal review process.

Edinburgh is a highly popular September venue; we advise delegates to make their travel plans as early as possible, and to note that for this reason there will be NO EXTENSION to the abstract submission deadline. ===================================================== AMLaP 20 4-6 September, 2014 Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh Edinburgh, UK Public Lecture to mark 20th AMLaP: Pim Levelt (MPI), 3 September 2014 Invited Speakers: Robert Hartsuiker (Ghent) David Poeppel (NYU) Jesse Snedeker (Harvard) 20th Anniversary Round Table Chair: Chuck Clifton (UMass) Conference website and abstract submission: http://www.amlap2014.ed.ac.uk Important Dates: Abstract Submission Open: 10 Mar Registration: NOW OPEN Abstract Submission Closes: 2 May (no extensions!) Decisions By: early Jun Early Registration Ends: Jul ===================================================== We are delighted to announce the 20th AMLaP conference. AMLaP was first held in Edinburgh in 1995; in the intervening years, it has established itself as the premier European venue for interdisciplinary research into human language processing. For its 20th anniversary, AMLaP is coming home, and presents an opportunity to step back and cast a broad eye over progress in the field, looking at the gains made over the last two decades, and the opportunities and challenges for the next twenty years. To mark the 20th AMLaP, Professor Pim Levelt will give a Public Lecture on the History of Psycholinguistics on the evening of Wednesday 3rd September at the University of Edinburgh. AMLaP delegates are warmly invited to attend. The subsequent three days will feature keynotes from Jesse Snedeker, David Poeppel, and Rob Hartsuiker. All of our speakers will also be taking part in a round table discussion on the past, present, and future of psycholinguistics, chaired by Chuck Clifton. Together with a superb venue, a full social programme, and the high quality of contributions we await from old friends and new, we hope that AMLaP 20 will be a conference to remember. As ever, we invite submissions on a broad range of topics relevant to the study of how people understand and produce language. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: bilingual language processing computational models, symbolic and connectionist corpus-based studies and statistical mechanisms cross-linguistic studies dialogue processing discourse language comprehension language production lexical processing learning mechanisms models of acquisition neurobiology of language processing parsing and interpretation prosody Edinburgh is a wonderful city to visit, and so we hope to see as many of you as possible.

Really fundamental to our science. Gratefully, Lise On Apr 14, 2014, at 3:32 PM, Brian MacWhinney wrote: Dear Info-CHILDES, I am happy to announce that last week both the childes.talkbank.org and the talkbank.org websites received the Data Seal of Approval (dsa.org) based on the implementation of a variety of data protection and archiving standards such as persistent ids (PIDs), consistent metadata, systematic backup, documentation of methods, contribution guidelines, etc. You can see the new DSA logos at the bottom of the CHILDES and TalkBank homepages. In addition, the overall TalkBank system was today approved as a member of the international CLARIN (clarin.eu) Federation of language data centers, funded by grants from the European Union and member countries. TalkBank is the only CLARIN center outside of the EU, but hopefully there will be others in the future. You will also now find the CLARIN logo at the bottom of the CHILDES and TalkBank pages. The addition of CHILDES and TalkBank to CLARIN and the receipt of the DSA approval are based on the work that Leonid Spektor did for creating CMDI Metadata and Handle Server PIDs and on work that Franklin Chen did to set up methods for SSL secure logon, XML validation, and InCommon federated login. These various structures will be increasingly important in the future as CLARIN develops new web services and searching methods such as the Virtual Language Observatory. -- Brian MacWhinney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

Papers for the special issue would include studies of all aspects of language development in populations of children and youth whose onset of exposure to their first (L1) or second (L2) language was not at birth, for example, deaf children of hearing parents, internationally adopted children and child L2 learners. Relevant topics and questions that papers could address include the following: (1) Specific ages of onset in relation to long-term outcomes: At what ages in infancy or childhood does delay in onset of exposure to a language impact long-term outcomes in that language? Are age effects gradual or is there a definable 'critical period'? (2) The impacts of age effects on acquisition: How does delay in onset of exposure to an L1 or L2 impact developmental patterns/stages, rates and long-term outcomes in language acquisition? Does it impact one more than another? (3) Age effects and different linguistic domains: Do age effects impact linguistic domains, e.g., phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, differentially? (4) Difference between delayed L1 versus delayed L2: How does the nature and magnitude of age effects differ when there is delay in exposure to a child's L1 vs. a child's L2? In other words, how does delay in exposure to any linguistic input (e.g., deaf children of hearing parents) affect acquisition differently than delay in exposure to a particular target language (e.g., child L2 learners or internationally adopted children)? (5) Age effects interacting with other developmental factors: How do other child-internal and environmental factors interact with age of onset in determining acquisition processes and outcomes? For example, individual differences in language learning aptitude, quantity and quality of exposure to the target language could potentially mitigate or diminish the impact of later age of onset to a language. In the case of child L2 learners, transfer of skills and linguistic structures from their L1 could interact with age of onset effects in L2 acquisition. The deadline for submission is October 31, 2014. Papers should be a maximum of 10,000 words, shorter papers preferred. Submissions should be made on Manuscript Central: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcl In your covering letter, please state that the manuscript is to be considered for this special issue. Instructions for contributors are available on Manuscript Central. The Special Issue is expected to be published in 2016. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

I wrote a reply that was published in the April 22 section. Here is my reply, with a link to the April 15 article. Dan Slobin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A version of this letter appears in print on April 22, 2014, on page D3 of the New York edition with the headline: Reactions. TO THE EDITOR: I've spent over 50 years studying how children learn language, including many languages, spoken and signed. In "A Son's Deafness Prompts a Scientific Journey" (April 15), Katherine Bouton notes that many deaf children who are raised with American Sign Language succeed in learning to read and write English as a second language, while the median reading ability by age 18 in deaf children overall remains stuck at a fourth-grade level. Although she correctly observes that early communication in A.S.L. is the key, she does not draw the conclusion -- supported now by research in several countries -- that when hearing parents begin to use sign language as soon as their baby is diagnosed as deaf, those children achieve levels of language, cognition and literacy comparable to those of deaf children with deaf parents. As Ms. Bouton reports, cochlear implants have mixed results. The best insurance for hearing parents of babies with implants is to learn A.S.L. and to use both hands and voice in communicating with their small children. Native fluency in A.S.L. provides a bridge to English literacy and, if partial hearing is available, to spoken English. Dan I. Slobin Berkeley, Calif.

This workshop intends to discuss different topics about the diagnosis and causes of Specific Language Impairment. One of the goals of the workshop is to supply the phonological, lexical, morphosyntactic or pragmatic abilities of children with SLI. A main problem in SLI is to provide a differential diagnosis which can distinguish SLI from other syndromes like autism, receptive language disorder or attention deficit disorder. In fact, so far the criteria to diagnose SLI has been mainly by exclusion. In addition, another topic that it’s going to be included is the causes of SLI: genetic, environmental, linguistic difficulties, cognitive factors, learning disabilities. We also encourage new findings after applying methodologies like event related potentials, fMRI, eye tracking or MEG. Authors are invited to send one copy of an abstract in English for review. Abstracts must be at most one page long on an A4 or letter-size sheet (8.5'' by 11'') with one-inch margins and typed in at least 12-point font. An optional second page is permitted for data and references. Abstracts must be anonymous. Abstracts should be submitted via email as a word attachment to the following address: conference at psi.uned.es. Please name your word file with the first author’s surname (e.g., brown.pdf), use 'SLI abstract' in the Subject header and include the information in (1) - (7), which should constitute the body of the message. 1.

Start date: As soon as possible, but not after June 1st. See below for details. Best, Michael Ullman *************************************** THE BRAIN AND LANGUAGE LAB The Brain and Language Lab at Georgetown University, directed by Michael Ullman, investigates the biological and psychological bases of first and second language in normal and disordered children and adults, and the relations between language and other cognitive domains (primarily memory and music). The lab's members test their hypotheses using a set of complementary behavioral, neurological, electrophysiologial (ERPs), neuroimaging (fMRI), and biological (genetic, endocrine) approaches. The lab is interested in the normal acquisition and processing of language, and its variability as a function of factors such as genotype, hormone levels, sex, handedness, age, and learning context (e.g., classroom vs. immersion). Additionally, the lab investigates the breakdown and recovery of language and other functions in a variety of disorders, including Specific Language Impairment, autism, ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette syndrome, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and aphasia. For more details on the Brain and Language Lab, please seehttp://brainlang.georgetown.edu.

It should preferably be a short test that can be used for all these age groups, giving at least a global indication of left or right dominance. I am assuming here that being a patient or not does not make a difference for the type of test. Using a computer or concrete materials and involvement of parents are all an option. I would be grateful for any recommendations for this kind of test.

In addition, the overall TalkBank system was today approved as a member of the international CLARIN (clarin.eu) Federation of language data centers, funded by grants from the European Union and member countries. TalkBank is the only CLARIN center outside of the EU, but hopefully there will be others in the future. You will also now find the CLARIN logo at the bottom of the CHILDES and TalkBank pages. The addition of CHILDES and TalkBank to CLARIN and the receipt of the DSA approval are based on the work that Leonid Spektor did for creating CMDI Metadata and Handle Server PIDs and on work that Franklin Chen did to set up methods for SSL secure logon, XML validation, and InCommon federated login. These various structures will be increasingly important in the future as CLARIN develops new web services and searching methods such as the Virtual Language Observatory. -- Brian MacWhinney -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

Moreover, since the DSA recognition implies -- as far as I understand it -- also (indirect) entrance of the CHILDES/TALKBANK corpora into the Web of Science (WoS), this represents a recognition of the intellectual efforts researchers put into data collection, transcription and coding.

There are a few significant reasons for this growth. Firstly, indigenous languages are dying at an alarming rate, which means that now is often our last chance to study their acquisition. Secondly, there is a broad recognition among child language researchers that our theories of acquisition are skewed by the overrepresentation of data from large European languages (especially English), whereas many children across the world are acquiring typologically under-studied languages (e.g. polysynthetic languages), often in situations of rapid language shift. Field studies, in contexts such as remote communities, or investigations of minority language users' development in multilingual societies will be of interest. A range of disciplinary perspectives, theoretical positions, and methodological strategies is likely to be represented in the Special Issue. Prospective authors are encouraged to email the editors to discuss potential contributions (b.kelly at unimelb.edu.au; evan.kidd at anu.edu.au; g.wigglesworth at unimelb.edu.au). Papers should be submitted through the First Language manuscript central site (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/fla) by 30th. September 2014. Papers should be not more than 8000 words in length, and conform to the First Language submission guidelines. All papers will be submitted to the normal review process.

Edinburgh is a highly popular September venue; we advise delegates to make their travel plans as early as possible, and to note that for this reason there will be NO EXTENSION to the abstract submission deadline. ===================================================== AMLaP 20 4-6 September, 2014 Royal College of Physicians of Edinburgh Edinburgh, UK Public Lecture to mark 20th AMLaP: Pim Levelt (MPI), 3 September 2014 Invited Speakers: Robert Hartsuiker (Ghent) David Poeppel (NYU) Jesse Snedeker (Harvard) 20th Anniversary Round Table Chair: Chuck Clifton (UMass) Conference website and abstract submission: http://www.amlap2014.ed.ac.uk Important Dates: Abstract Submission Open: 10 Mar Registration: NOW OPEN Abstract Submission Closes: 2 May (no extensions!) Decisions By: early Jun Early Registration Ends: Jul ===================================================== We are delighted to announce the 20th AMLaP conference. AMLaP was first held in Edinburgh in 1995; in the intervening years, it has established itself as the premier European venue for interdisciplinary research into human language processing. For its 20th anniversary, AMLaP is coming home, and presents an opportunity to step back and cast a broad eye over progress in the field, looking at the gains made over the last two decades, and the opportunities and challenges for the next twenty years. To mark the 20th AMLaP, Professor Pim Levelt will give a Public Lecture on the History of Psycholinguistics on the evening of Wednesday 3rd September at the University of Edinburgh. AMLaP delegates are warmly invited to attend. The subsequent three days will feature keynotes from Jesse Snedeker, David Poeppel, and Rob Hartsuiker. All of our speakers will also be taking part in a round table discussion on the past, present, and future of psycholinguistics, chaired by Chuck Clifton. Together with a superb venue, a full social programme, and the high quality of contributions we await from old friends and new, we hope that AMLaP 20 will be a conference to remember. As ever, we invite submissions on a broad range of topics relevant to the study of how people understand and produce language. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: bilingual language processing computational models, symbolic and connectionist corpus-based studies and statistical mechanisms cross-linguistic studies dialogue processing discourse language comprehension language production lexical processing learning mechanisms models of acquisition neurobiology of language processing parsing and interpretation prosody Edinburgh is a wonderful city to visit, and so we hope to see as many of you as possible.

Papers for the special issue would include studies of all aspects of language development in populations of children and youth whose onset of exposure to their first (L1) or second (L2) language was not at birth, for example, deaf children of hearing parents, internationally adopted children and child L2 learners. Relevant topics and questions that papers could address include the following: (1) Specific ages of onset in relation to long-term outcomes: At what ages in infancy or childhood does delay in onset of exposure to a language impact long-term outcomes in that language? Are age effects gradual or is there a definable 'critical period'? (2) The impacts of age effects on acquisition: How does delay in onset of exposure to an L1 or L2 impact developmental patterns/stages, rates and long-term outcomes in language acquisition? Does it impact one more than another? (3) Age effects and different linguistic domains: Do age effects impact linguistic domains, e.g., phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, differentially? (4) Difference between delayed L1 versus delayed L2: How does the nature and magnitude of age effects differ when there is delay in exposure to a child's L1 vs. a child's L2? In other words, how does delay in exposure to any linguistic input (e.g., deaf children of hearing parents) affect acquisition differently than delay in exposure to a particular target language (e.g., child L2 learners or internationally adopted children)? (5) Age effects interacting with other developmental factors: How do other child-internal and environmental factors interact with age of onset in determining acquisition processes and outcomes? For example, individual differences in language learning aptitude, quantity and quality of exposure to the target language could potentially mitigate or diminish the impact of later age of onset to a language. In the case of child L2 learners, transfer of skills and linguistic structures from their L1 could interact with age of onset effects in L2 acquisition. The deadline for submission is October 31, 2014. Papers should be a maximum of 10,000 words, shorter papers preferred. Submissions should be made on Manuscript Central: http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcl In your covering letter, please state that the manuscript is to be considered for this special issue. Instructions for contributors are available on Manuscript Central. The Special Issue is expected to be published in 2016. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

I wrote a reply that was published in the April 22 section. Here is my reply, with a link to the April 15 article. Dan Slobin ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A version of this letter appears in print on April 22, 2014, on page D3 of the New York edition with the headline: Reactions. TO THE EDITOR: I've spent over 50 years studying how children learn language, including many languages, spoken and signed. In "A Son's Deafness Prompts a Scientific Journey" (April 15), Katherine Bouton notes that many deaf children who are raised with American Sign Language succeed in learning to read and write English as a second language, while the median reading ability by age 18 in deaf children overall remains stuck at a fourth-grade level. Although she correctly observes that early communication in A.S.L. is the key, she does not draw the conclusion -- supported now by research in several countries -- that when hearing parents begin to use sign language as soon as their baby is diagnosed as deaf, those children achieve levels of language, cognition and literacy comparable to those of deaf children with deaf parents. As Ms. Bouton reports, cochlear implants have mixed results. The best insurance for hearing parents of babies with implants is to learn A.S.L. and to use both hands and voice in communicating with their small children. Native fluency in A.S.L. provides a bridge to English literacy and, if partial hearing is available, to spoken English. Dan I. Slobin Berkeley, Calif.

This workshop intends to discuss different topics about the diagnosis and causes of Specific Language Impairment. One of the goals of the workshop is to supply the phonological, lexical, morphosyntactic or pragmatic abilities of children with SLI. A main problem in SLI is to provide a differential diagnosis which can distinguish SLI from other syndromes like autism, receptive language disorder or attention deficit disorder. In fact, so far the criteria to diagnose SLI has been mainly by exclusion. In addition, another topic that it?s going to be included is the causes of SLI: genetic, environmental, linguistic difficulties, cognitive factors, learning disabilities. We also encourage new findings after applying methodologies like event related potentials, fMRI, eye tracking or MEG. Authors are invited to send one copy of an abstract in English for review. Abstracts must be at most one page long on an A4 or letter-size sheet (8.5'' by 11'') with one-inch margins and typed in at least 12-point font. An optional second page is permitted for data and references. Abstracts must be anonymous. Abstracts should be submitted via email as a word attachment to the following address: conference at psi.uned.es. Please name your word file with the first author?s surname (e.g., brown.pdf), use 'SLI abstract' in the Subject header and include the information in (1) - (7), which should constitute the body of the message. 1. Name(s) of author(s) 2. Affiliation(s) 3. Title of talk 4. topic processing, acquisition, disorders 5. Method: ERPs, fMRI, eye-tracking, genetics, ... 6. Email address(es) 7. Postal address of first author Authors may submit up to two abstracts, one individual and one joint. This workshop is part of the Experimental Psycholinguistics Conference (ERP).
