Hello everyone,

I thought I would let any interested linguists know about the CYCLE 
(Curtiss-Yamada Comprehensive Language Evaluation). The CYCLE 
was developed by Dr. Susan Curtiss, who is most famous for working 
with Genie, and Dr. Jeni Yamada.  

The CYCLE is an in-depth assessment test that allows the clinician or 
researcher to examine comprehensively, a subject's linguistic 
knowledge and performance in syntax, morphology, and semantics, 
and submodules in these components.

The CYCLE covers structures and features that emerge between 1 1/2 
and 10 years of age, the active language development years. It 
includes a wide range of linguistic structures, including early to late 
acquired forms and grammatically simple to grammatically complex 
forms. The structures covered thus comprise a major part of the 
grammatical core of English. The CYCLE is useful for assessing 
whether specific aspects of the grammar are intact or affected and can 
be used with subjects across a wide range of ages and cognitive 
abilities.

The CYCLE has been available for many years, but we have recently 
made efforts to make the test more widely available by launching a 
website. We hope others will find it very useful in research.  

To learn more about the test please visit our website.

501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These

return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
