JCL Special Issue

[Brian MacWhinney]

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 (available  
on: http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=JCL).  
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)
