Thanks Phil! Look forward to reading this!<br><br>And while I have everyone's attention the University of Delaware has TWO jobs open in areas such as language/literacy/English language learners/writing. I am attaching the two PDFs that describe the positions and would be thrilled if you or your best students apply for these jobs. The University of Delaware is a great place to work. One job is a named professorship for an early career scholar; the other is for a tenure-track assistant professor.<br>
<br>All best and have a great holiday all!<br>Roberta Golinkoff<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 20, 2012 at 10:44 PM, Philip Dale <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dalep@unm.edu" target="_blank">dalep@unm.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div style="direction:ltr;font-size:10pt;font-family:Tahoma">I am attaching the paper I mentioned yesterday about a quantitative measure of typicality in children's vocabularies (or inventories of gestures), independent of the size of vocabulary.
I hope you will find it useful. <br>
At the time, we developed a program to compute this measure from Excel files that contained item-level data from the CDI (one row per individual, a column for each item). It was developed for research purposes, with the idea that later a more user-friendly
version for distribution might be developed, but that never happened. However, the logic is explained in enough detail in the paper that an experienced database programmer should not have much difficulty preparing such a program.

Thanks to all who have written expressing interest. I'd love to hear if someone picks this up and runs (or even walks, or crawls) with it.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
