The purpose of this paper is to explore the gradual development of verb-particle constructions in child language by examining longitudinal data from the spontaneous oral speech of Naima, an English-speaking girl from the Providence Corpus of the CHILDES database (MacWhinney, 2000; Demuth, Culbertson & Alter, 2006), between ages 0;11 and 3;10. My findings also support the claim that input and interaction play a major role in the language acquisition process. Indeed, by analyzing the emergence and usage of phrasal verbs by Naima, I will thus compare the top ten verb-particle construction types used by the child and the adult. Ultimately, I will show the correlation between the most frequently used phrasal verbs in adult speech and the earliest constructions acquired by Naima

Presentation: Getting the most from High-Tech AAC Devices
This segment is a discussion on the use of pre-stored messages versus a word-based vocabulary set in high-tech AAC devices, specifically the use of core vocabulary. This discussion includes a review of journal articles on the topics of pre-stored messages and core vocabulary.
"Augmentative Communication, Augmentative
Communication News (ACN), distilling the ongoing research, exemplary
practice, and new development activities in the field into a practical format
that made it possible for clinicians, students and teachers to translate ongoing
research and development into immediate practice. For fifteen years (1994-2009)
Michael B. Williams, a gifted writer who himself relies on augmentative
communication tools and strategies, wrote, edited, and oversaw the publications
of Alternatively Speaking. This newsletter was written by and for people
with complex communication needs and covered topics of personal and immediate
interest to individuals who benefit using AAC. Alternatively Speaking provides straight talk on key issues, from the perspective of people who rely on AAC.
Every single issue of these two seminal
publications in the field of AAC is now available"
Results All participants exhibited a positive increase in multisymbol message production almost immediately upon introduction of the LTM prompting procedure.
