Eighty-seven primary-school children with impaired hearing were evaluated using speech perception, production, and language measures over a 3-year period. Forty-seven mean unaided pure-tone-average loss of 106 dB HL used 22-electrode cochlear implant, 40 puretone-average 78 fitted aids. All enrolled in oral/aural habilitation programs, most attended integrated classes normally for part the time at school. Multiple linear regression was to describe relationships among measures, trends time....
Australian copyright law and Indigenous Cultural Intellectual Property (ICIP) have always sat uncomfortably together, each with their own internal logic legitimacy, but forcing certain arrangements compromises when applied to specific contexts. The collection of language materials into a digital archive has required finding means observe respect these two incongruent knowledge traditions. Living Archive Aboriginal Languages, an open online repository containing thousands books in dozens...
Conversational speech samples were analysed over a six-year period postoperatively for nine profoundly deaf children implanted with the Cochlear Limited 22-electrode cochlear implant between ages 2-5 years. Four years post-implant, at least 90% of all syllables produced by each child intelligible, although only one (who had suffered progressive hearing loss) 10% intelligible prior to implantation. Over 6-year period, mean number words per utterance increased from 0.15 4.2 and (counting both...
Seventeen primary school deaf and hard-of-hearing children were given two types of training for 9 weeks each. Phonological involved practice /s, z, t, d/ in word final position monomorphemic words. Morphological learning practicing the rules forming third-person singular, present tense, past plurals. The words used different (monomorphemic or polymorphemic) but both d/. Grammatical judgments tested before after using short sentences that read aloud by child (or presenter if was unable to...
Open-set word and sentence speech-perception test scores are commonly used as a measure of hearing abilities in children adults using cochlear implants and/or aids. These tests usually presented auditorily with verbal response. In the case children, typically lower more variable than for impairments similar devices. It is difficult to interpret children's without considering effects lexical knowledge speech-production on their responses. This study postulated simple mathematical model...

Abstract The Australian Computational and Linguistics Olympiad (OzCLO) started in 2008 only two locations has since grown to a nationwide competition with almost 1500 high school students participating 2013. An team participated the International (IOL) every year 2009. This paper describes how is run (with regional first round final national round) organisation of (a National Steering Committee Local Organising Committees for each region) discusses particular challenges faced by Australia...
Cochlear implants have raised questions about how children with profoundly impaired hearing can learn spoken language. This study addresses the question of whether there is a critical level for development adequate speech perception abilities. A comparison relationships between scores and language shows that group deaf using aids process in way fundamentally different from two groups severe moderate losses. We infer below which relies very heavily on linguistic processing to compensate...
The paper examines the effect of choices involved in speech acquisition research among children with impaired hearing. Choices involving transcription method, sampling procedures, subject selection and statistical approaches affect outcome any research. Two recent papers used different methodological to examine conversational samples hearing arrived at differing conclusions about their rates improvement. To compare these results, a further data set was examined using both methodologies....
Abstract Community-based orthography development engages the native speakers as custodians of language in decisions about how it should be written. While there are various guidelines on to go such an activity, examples implementation and resulting challenges underrepresented literature. This paper describes a workshop which brought together from four Bantu languages Western Zambia establish writing systems for their (Fwe, Mashi, Makoma Kwangwa) considers some linguistic non-linguistic issues...
The promotion of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander histories cultures as a cross-curriculum priority in the new Australian Curriculum provides both challenge an opportunity for teachers teacher educators. Living Archive Languages contains authentic language materials which can assist resourcing supporting to meet this across all areas curriculum, encourage connections with Indigenous cultural authorities.
A socio-technical approach is taken to explore a digital archive of Australian Indigenous cultural heritage. The Living Archive Aboriginal Languages considered in terms what it currently doing and was intended do. Two ethnographic stories focusing on user interactions the outcomes an online survey serve evaluate effectiveness from perspective different users. This then juxtaposed with consideration original grant application, outlining envisaged for project. analysis serves highlight some...
