DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application requests support for an interdisciplinary predoctoral and postdoctoral training program in Language Processes, specifically emphasizing the link between child language acquisition and adult language comprehension and production. The project is housed in the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. The program includes eight training faculty who study a broad range of language comprehension, acquisition, and production processes. The program's motivation, beyond the basic fact that we have an exceptionally large and outstanding group of language faculty, is that we perceive important changes in language research that need to be addressed with a new kind of training. That is, language comprehension, production, and acquisition research has each traditionally been studied in isolation, but new progress in understanding the relationships between theses subfields is beginning to emerge. Training practices are lagging behind these new research efforts, however, and institutional barriers exist that limit the extent to which students are trained in both language acquisition and adult language performance. The highly cohesive group of training program faculty span these research areas and are committed to training the next generation of researchers in a way that emphasizes the growing connections between these fields. The goal is not to create scholars who will necessarily study both acquisition and processing but rather create researchers who consistently consider issues of both the child and adult state in their chosen area of research. Funds are requested to support four predoctoral and one postdoctoral trainees per year. Trainees will enter through the Department of Psychology and will have course requirements in other departments as well. Predoctoral trainees will fulfill all Departmental requirements for the Ph.D. and will in addition participate in activities specifically designed to foster integration of theory and research in acquisition and adult processing, as well as integration of research across typical and atypical populations. Postdoctoral trainees will receive training in areas of language research that are distinct from those that were the focus of their predoctoral work. Training will take place within one of the top-ranked U.S. Psychology Departments and at an institution with outstanding research facilities and resources,

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请要求在语言过程中为跨学科前和博士后培训计划提供支持，特别强调了儿童语言获取与成人语言理解和生产之间的联系。该项目位于威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校的心理学系。该计划包括八名培训教师，他们研究了广泛的语言理解，获取和生产过程。该计划的动机除外，我们拥有一个非常庞大且出色的语言教师群体的基本事实，是我们认为需要通过一种新的培训来解决的语言研究中的重要变化。也就是说，语言理解，生产和获取研究传统上都是孤立研究的，但是在理解这些子场之间的关系方面的新进展开始出现。但是，培训实践落后于这些新的研究工作，但是存在机构障碍，这些障碍限制了在语言获取和成人语言表现方面接受培训的程度。高度凝聚力的培训计划教师涵盖了这些研究领域，并致力于培训下一代研究人员，以强调这些领域之间不断增长的联系。目的不是创建一定会研究获取和处理的学者，而是创建研究人员，他们始终如一地考虑儿童和成人国家在所选的研究领域中的问题。要求资金每年支持四名五名和一名博士后学员。学员将通过心理学系进入，并在其他部门也有课程要求。托管前学员将满足博士学位的所有部门要求。此外，还将参加专门旨在促进理论和研究在获取和成人加工中的研究，以及在典型和非典型人群中进行研究的整合。博士后学员将接受语言研究领域的培训，这些培训与那些焦点的焦点。培训将在排名最高的美国心理学部门之一，并在具有出色的研究设施和资源的机构中进行，
