Dear colleagues, we are seeking potential collaborators for a grant application for a large crosslinguistic project investigating children’s acquisition of inflectional morphology. We aim to include 100 typologically-diverse languages. Due to the size of the envisaged project, it would not be feasible to apply for funding for full-time research assistants to test children (or to fund a portion of each collaborator’s salary). Our intention for the grant application is that each collaborator will be able to claim up to €10,000 for expenses (e.g., travel, laptops, participant payments, part-time/casual researchers), with the data collected by a researcher who is already primarily sponsored/employed (e.g., as PhD student, postdoc or research assistant) at your institution. We will provide computerized elicitation tasks; your role (with the help of full-time research and support staff employed at our end) would be to translate the task into your language and inflectional system and to supervise data collection (with children aged 3-6, and adults). At the moment, our goal is simply to put together a list of *potential* collaborators+languages for the grant application (NB: we can include only languages with verb and/or noun person/case/number inflectional morphology). To be included on this provisional list, please email Ben.Ambridge@Manchester.ac.uk with your name, institution and language(s).
