video clips of child language research

[Ann Bunger]

I've been using some videos in the child language acquisition class I'm
teaching this
summer, and the students really seem to enjoy them.

The LSA has a video archive that can (usually) be accessed from the
www.lsadc.org
homepage by following the About Linguistics: Videos on the Web link. Some
of those videos
should be relevant. (Right now though, I'm having trouble with the website.)

The Language Acquisition Lab at U Maryland also makes available some
nifty videos of their
research on the acquisition of syntax, which can be found at:
http://www.ling.umd.edu/Graciela/LanguageVideos/
Also I've made a short video about my own research, which is a follow-up
to the Naigles
1990 study on verb learning (Bunger & Lidz, BUCLD 2004) in which we
investigate whether
kids can be driven by the syntactic frame in which it is presented to
interpret a novel verb
as a label for the various different parts of a single causative event.
The video is aimed at a
non-linguistic audience, and I could try to make that available on-line
if anyone is interested
in seeing it.

Dear all,

I had this idea that it would be interesting to my undergraduate students to
see video clips of the different methods used to study language development
and to see clips of the studies they read about. If people have such clips
available on websites or otherwise, I would be very grateful to hear about
them.

Let me know if you would like the info shared.

Many thanks in advance,

Erika Hoff
