THE LINGUISTICS, NEUROLOGY, AND POLITICS OF PHONICS
Silent “E” Speaks Out
Steven L. Strauss
Franklin Square Hospital
“This book provides a missing facet in continuing efforts to expose the
fallacies of the scientific research paradigm, by synthesizing the
various coalitions behind…the current government mandates. I don’t
know of another work that pulls it all together […]

Until about two decades ago, the study of writing systems and their relationship
to literacy acquisition was sparse and generally modeled after studies of
English language learners. This situation is now changing. As the worldwide
demand for literacy […]

Quantile Regression
 
Quantile regression is a statistical technique intended to estimate,
and conduct inference about, conditional quantile functions.
Just as classical linear regression methods based on
minimizing sums of squared residuals enable one to estimate models for
conditional mean functions, quantile regression methods offer a mechanism
for estimating models for the conditional median function, and the full
range […]

Met Han yesterday in a meeting at SSRI. I am interested in his MCMC method and quantile regression.

This is an abstract on reading Thai with/without spaces, just like what
people did 30 years ago with Chinese. Eye tracking, anyone?

Dr. Kim’s recent article (doi:10.1016/j.bandl.2004.05.001)
compares visual processing of poor readers in Thailand and Korea. Does
this mean that reading Thai and Korean involves dramatically different
levels of visual anlaysis? Or maybe they differ in the "entry fee" –
the visual processing capacity required to learn to read?

After 3 loyal years with Sprint PCS, we finally decided to switch to
another cell phone carrier. The primary motivation is … well, to get
a camera phone. Not that we will use it often, but it’s cool just to
think of all the picture we could take … Just like our old Samsung
Uproar, which was […]

Every day I am impressed with the breadth and wit of LaputanLogic blog,
and I decide to find out more about the person behind it. The About is funny, and might be informative, but I just don’t have a clue. I will do my detective work my old way:

Fanciful. Preposterous. Absurd.

As a comment to a comment on LanguageHat today, whether or not
Vietnamese is an isolating language is under dispute. The original
topic was gender-related pronouns in Chinese, which has to do with the
following 2 papers: Marjorie K.M. Chan’s "Gender Differences in the Chinese Language" and C. Chris Erway’s "Gender Differences in Spoken Chinese, or, […]
