Special opportunities at Purdue include:

 1) availability of a three-dimensional motion analyzer (WATSMART)
 for ASL phonetics/physics research;

 2) access to the Indiana School for the Deaf, which has the
 nation's first bilingual/bicultural program for Deaf
 children; they are very open to research possibilities;

 3) excellent equipment (including Super-VHS and an editing
 workstation) for video analysis;

 4) Linguistics faculty with expertise in ASL, tone languages,
 morphology, phonology, and prosodic phonology (including
 rhythm, intonation, and stress);

 5) Speech-Language pathology faculty with expertise in speech and
 language development and disorders, including specialties in
 specific language impairment, infant babbling and
 vocalization, and cross-cultural music patterns and the
 development of speech perception; special emphasis on
 intervention efficacy;

 6) Speech and Hearing Science faculty with expertise in motor
 control (mouth and hands), physiology of speech production,
 and intonation and rhythm in speech and ASL; and

 7) a thriving hypermultimedia software development lab capable of
 speech, graphic, and videodisc production and playback.
