Qs: Intrinsic Vowel Duration, NLP Course Survey

Editor for this issue: Karen Milligan <karenlinguistlist.org>



We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate.

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query.

    Dear all,

    can you please direct me towards current and past studies on the acquisition of intrinsic vowel duration (lax vs tense), extrinsic vowel duration (voicing conditioned), and VOT by late and early bilinguals.

    I have been able to locate some papers on IVD and VOT but none on EVD acquisition.

    I will post a summary.

    Thanks,

    If you currently teach a university or college course that covers material in natural language processing, computational linguistics or language technology, we'd be very pleased if you would contribute to the new Association for Computational Linguistics Natural Language Processing Course Survey. It will take between 10 and 20 minutes of your time to fill in the web-based questionnaire, and your data will contribute to a valuable resource for the community, available via the web. Just visit http://www.clt.mq.edu.au/survey.

    We are deliberately drawing the boundaries here as loosely as possible: if your course is about something else (for example, information retrieval, artificial intelligence, or formal methods in linguistics) but you spend more than one lecture talking about NLP, then we'd like to have your course included.

    If you have any questions about the ACL NLP Survey, or if you'd like to contribute information but are not able to access the Web interface, feel free to email us at surveyics.mq.edu.au.

    The NLP Course Survey is supported by the ACL, with development work by Mary Taffet (Syracuse University) and co-ordination by Robert Dale (Macquarie University).
