deadline extension

[Brian MacWhinney]

Dear Info-CHILDES,
     The Journal of Child Language (JCL) has agreed to extend the  
deadline for papers for the Special Issue on "Computational Models of  
Child Language Learning" from November 28 to December 23.  Several  
authors had pointed out that the time from the announcement to the  
deadline was a bit tight and had asked for a few more weeks.

-- Brian MacWhinney

Here is the call for papers again:

The Journal of Child Language is soliciting submissions for a special
issue entitled ‘Computational Models of Child Language Learning.’
This research area has seen a recent rapid growth, based on the
increased availability of corpus data, better methods for annotating
and parsing corpora, and  innovations in computational modeling.
Submissions are invited for models of all levels of linguistic
structure including lexicon, syntax, phonology, gesture, conversation,
and semantics.  Modeling may focus on monolingual or bilingual
acquisition in both normal and language-delayed populations.  Models
may make use of any well-specified computational framework, including
but not limited to connectionist modeling, Bayesian analysis,
production systems, or logical analysis.  Typically, models will use
corpus data as input and observed patterns in the child's productions
as output.  However, other well-specified computational frameworks are
also invited.

The guest editor for this issue is Brian MacWhinney. Papers will go
through the regular review process. They  should be submitted
electronically though Manuscript Central (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jcl 
) and should follow the regular guidelines for the Journal.
Authors should indicate that their paper is to be considered for the
special issue.  The deadline for submissions is November 28, 2008.
Questions about possible submissions should be sent to Brian
MacWhinney macw at cmu.edu
