This has required new tools, new research practices, new theories which has brought about ground breaking changes in research in linguistics and in psycholinguistics. These recent transformations, techniques and results need to be shared with a large community of researchers and students in the field of language acquisition. Creating, using, sharing, analyzing spontaneous oral data with the relevant tools for each researcher's specific needs can only help improve and enrich national and international research on language acquisition, and collective efforts are needed to attain this goal. A Workshop including tutorials and various presentations, will be organized by the GDR 'Language, Oral Language and Cognition: Language Acquisition - New Approaches' and funded by the CNRS. This workshop is designed to: -Present and provide introductions to tools used for creating and analyzing corpora of spontaneous oral (spoken and signed) language (separate tutorials will target beginners and advanced corpora users); -Present and discuss trends about tools for oral language data; -Present and discuss trends about research using oral language corpora Program Thursday 18 November 2010 9:00 - 10:30 Stéphanie Caet (Prismes - Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3) CLAN for Beginners: Discovering and Learning How to Use New Tools for Transcribing and Analysing Interaction Data (presentation in French) 10:45 - 12:15 Naomi Yamaguchi (LPP - Sorbonne Nouvelle Paris 3, SFL - CNRS-Paris 8) Phonetic Transcription and Phonological Analyses Using PHON (presentation in French) Lunch 14:00 - 16:00 Simon Harrison & Vito Evola (Natural Media & Engineering, HumTec Center, RWTH Aachen University) An Introduction to ELAN for the Analysis and Transcription of Multimodal Linguistic Data 16:15 - 17:45 Christophe Parisse (MoDyCo-INSERM, CNRS-Université Paris Ouest Nanterre) Using, Processing and Querying Existing Corpora (presentation in French) Friday 19 November 2010 9:30-10:15 Han Sloetjes (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, Nijmegen) ELAN - Recent and (Possible) Future Developments 10h15-11h00 Michael Kipp (Saarland University, Germany) ANVIL: A Multi-level Video Coding and Analysis Tool 11:20-12:05 Thomas Schmidt (Universität Hamburg, Germany) EXMARaLDA: System of Concepts, Data Formats and Tools for the Computer Assisted Transcription and Annotation of Spoken Language Lunch 14:00-14:50 Susanne Miyata (Aichi Shukutoku University, Nagoya, Japan) CHILDES: Japanese Corpora and Language Aquisition Research 14:50-15:40 Heidi Waterfall (Cornell University, NY, USA) Variety is the Spice of Longitudinal Analysis 16:00-17:00 Elena Lieven (MPI-EVA, Leipzig -Germany- and University of Manchester - UK) Corpus-based Research: Recent Developments, Problems and Possibilities Read more issues|LINGUIST home page|Top of issue Page Updated: 04-Oct-2010       About LINGUIST    |   Contact Us       While the LINGUIST List makes every effort to ensure the linguistic relevance of sites listed on its pages, it cannot vouch for their contents.
