Planning Grant Proposal: A Virtual Center for Child Language Acquistion Research

建立儿童语言习得研究虚拟中心的规划建议。Lust我们的目标是通过使用互联网创建一个虚拟中心，在目前与语言习得研究有关的实验室之间交换材料和数据。 此规划补助金的目的是启动规划，以开发此虚拟中心的基础设施。 在规划阶段，美国六个机构的六个实验室将成为这个虚拟中心的核心，这些实验室关注儿童的第一语言习得，包括儿童双语能力。 康奈尔语言习得实验室作为牵头机构，又与康奈尔大学威尔医学院的萨克勒发展心理学研究所有联系。拟议的基础设施将通过开发和传播新的万维网材料来执行，以支持和发展语言习得所有领域的跨语言协作科学初步研究。 这些材料包括一个虚拟语言学实验室（VLL），其中将包括一套互联网上提供的材料，以指导通过基于网络的图形用户界面在语言习得领域的主要语言学研究。 这些材料为跨实验室的知识和数据交换提供了基础，从而导致合作研究和教育计划，这些计划可以通过与中心的互动使每个机构的每个实验室获得新的权力和范围。最终，拟议中的虚拟中心将扩展到与其他实验室的网络，这些实验室专注于成人的第二或多语言习得，以及其他实验室正在实践语言习得研究的神经科学方法。 此外，它还将与印度、秘鲁和台湾以及其他国家的几个国际实验室联网，从而能够广泛扩大该领域的知识交流（包括数据和科学方法）。虚拟中心的目的是允许无限和开放的材料和数据的传播。 规划补助金旨在为所需的基础设施建立原型，并在合作者之间进行必要的初步互动，以便设计和建造这一基础设施。

AbstractA Virtual Center for Child Language Acquisition Research: A Planning GrantProposalBarbara C. Lust We aim to create a Virtual Center through the use of the internet to exchange materials and data across laboratories currently concerned with the study of language acquisition. The purpose of this Planning Grant is to initiate planning to develop the Infrastructure for this Virtual Center. In the planning stage, six US laboratories at six institutions that are concerned with children's first language acquisition, including childhood bilingualism, will form the core of this Virtual Center. The Cornell Language Acquisition Lab, as the lead institution, is in turn linked to the Sackler Institute for Developmental Psychology at the Cornell University Weill Medical College. The proposed infrastructure is to be executed through the development and dissemination of new World Wide Web materials to support and develop collaborative cross-linguistic scientific primary research in all areas of language acquisition. These materials comprise a Virtual Linguistics Lab (VLL) which will include a set of internet-available materials to guide primary linguistic research in the area of language acquisition through a web-based graphical user interface. These materials provide the basis for exchange of knowledge and data across laboratories leading to collaborative research and educational initiatives which can allow each individual laboratory at each institution new power and scope through interaction with the Center. Ultimately, the proposed Virtual Center will be extended to networking with other labs which focus on second or multi-language acquisition in the adult, and to other labs which are practicing neuroscientific methods of study of language acquisition. In addition, it will be networked with several international labs in India, Peru and Taiwan, as well as other countries, which will allow a wide expansion of the exchange of knowledge (including both data and scientific methods) in the field. The Virtual Center is designed to allow infinite and open-ended dissemination of materials and data. The Planning Grant is intended to establish the prototypes for the required infrastructure and the necessary preliminary interaction among collaborators in order to design and construct this infrastructure.
