Date: 19-Mar-2012 From: Adam YH <thecycletestgmail.com> Subject: The CYCLE Test E-mail this message to a friend 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. http://www.thecycletest.com/ Thank you!

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.
