Characteristics of Young Children\u27s Longest Utterances

This paper reviews research on mean length of utterance (MLU) and longest length of utterance (LLU) as measures of child language development. Although there has been much research on MLU, there is some controversy as to its validity, especially across different data gathering procedures and clinical populations. In contrast, LLU has rarely been the focus of research, but the limited amount of information available indicates that it is a potentially useful way to analyze child speech. This study provides a detailed analysis of 1655 utterances from three children at ages 3;10, 4;1 and 4;4, and 2938 utterances from adults interacting with the children. Variables included MLU, LLU, Fluharty-2 scores, utterance length distributions, and utterance intention codes. LLU did not co-vary strongly with either MLU or Fluharty-2 scores. Distributions of utterance lengt! hs were highly skewed, with single-morpheme utterances occurring most frequently. LLU was highly dependent on language sample size, as shown in analyses of fixed-length samples. Longest utterances were nearly all topic expansions and responses to questions. Adults tended to use topic expansions and questions immediately before children’s longest utterances. Overall, the results suggest that information from LLU may supplement MLU and standardized testing. However, LLU was dependent on a small number of utterances and very susceptible to change according to language sample size. Advantages, disadvantages, and a possible solution are discussed

The relationship between local loop unbundling and the deployment of alternative broadband networks: An empirical analysis

This paper means to add to empirical research on the impact of local loop unbundling (LLU) on broadband networks. In particular, it focuses on broadband investment made by entrants. Starting from late Nineties telecommunications incumbents of several European Union countries have been required to unbundle their local loops. While there is a general consensus on the negative or null impact of unbundling obligations on incumbents' investment, research on the relationship between LLU and new entrants' investment, albeit growing, has not yet reached a coherent body of results. We have tested two propositions. First, service-based entry, which relies on LLU, paves the way to new entrants' subsequent investment in broadband systems (i.e. ladder of investment theory). Second, the price charged for local loop should increase over time in order to have a significant investment in alternative platforms (i.e. the transitory entry assistance theory). The empirical analysis is carried out on a sample of 27 European countries (2002-2009 period). We have collected country-level data on broadband lines and LLU policy indicators. The preliminary results suggest that service-based entry does not lead entrants to a subsequent facility-based entry, casting some doubts on the ladder of investment theory. The short ladder version of the theory has received confirmation instead. At the same time, an increasing price of local loop is not found to stimulate the entrants' investment in alternative broadband networks. --investment,competition,access regulation,broadband networks,unbundling local loop

Time--space harmonic polynomials relative to a L\'{e}vy process

In this work, we give a closed form and a recurrence relation for a family of time--space harmonic polynomials relative to a L\'{e}vy process. We also state the relationship with the Kailath--Segall (orthogonal) polynomials associated to the process.Comment: Published in at http://dx.doi.org/10.3150/07-BEJ6173 the Bernoulli (http://isi.cbs.nl/bernoulli/) by the International Statistical Institute/Bernoulli Society (http://isi.cbs.nl/BS/bshome.htm
