<div> See item in this forwarded message. The School of Education at CU is very small so opportunities for interaction with cognitive science and psychology may be better than average. Evidently other schools in Colorado must be doing most of the teacher education.</div>

>> In expressing rich, multi-dimensional thought in language,<br>>> speakers are influenced by a range of factors that influence the<br>>> ordering of utterance constituents. A fundamental principle that<br>
>> guides constituent ordering in adults has to do with information<br>>> status, the accessibility of referents in discourse. Typically,<br>>> adults order previously mentioned referents (''old'' or accessible<br>
>> information) first, before they introduce referents that have not<br>>> yet been mentioned in the discourse (''new'' or inaccessible<br>>> information) (Levelt, 1989; Wundt, 1900). The ''old-before-new''<br>
>> ordering preference is posited to have information processing value<br>>> for adult speakers since prior mention of a referent facilitates<br>>> earlier production of the accessible information (Bock & Irwin,<br>
>> 1980; Ferreira & Yoshita, 2003). If similar considerations<br>>> influence how children linearize their thinking for the purposes of<br>>> speaking, we would predict that accessibility should lead to an<br>
>> ''old-before-new'' ordering preference in children as well. In<br>>> addition, the ''old-before-new'' ordering in adults' usage patterns<br>>> constitutes input to children learning language, and may also lead<br>
>> to an ''old-before-new'' preference in children if they are<br>>> sensitive to the correspondence between linear order and<br>>> information status in the ambient language.<br>>><br>
>> In this talk, I present a series of studies exploring children's<br>>> ordering preference: whether they reflect patterns in child-<br>>> directed speech, and the degree to which their preference can be<br>
>> influenced by manipulating aspects of the discourse context. The<br>>> findings demonstrate that a key principle governing ordering<br>>> preferences in adults does not originate in early childhood, but<br>
>> develops: from new-to-old to old-to-new.<br>>>>><br>>>>> Refreshments to follow<br><br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <a href="http://psych.colorado.edu/mailman/private/ics-news/attachments/20091002/3ef797fa/attachment-0001.html" target="_blank">http://psych.colorado.edu/mailman/private/ics-news/attachments/20091002/3ef797fa/attachment-0001.html</a><br>
