Call Deadline: 11-Dec-2015 

Meeting Description:

The conference Sound to Word in Bilingual and Second Language Speech Perception will be held at the University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, from April 1-2, 2016.

The goal of the conference is to provide a venue for discussing how bilingual and second language learners perceive their two (or more) languages and how the particularities of speech perception in individuals who know more than one language influence lexical representations. 

We are also pleased to announce that we will be hosting a workshop on intonation analysis, conducted by Dr. Miquel Simonet (Associate Professor, University of Arizona).

Intonation workshop: March 31, 3:30-6:00pm

Keynote Speakers:

Dr. Ann Bradlow (Professor, Department of Linguistics, Northwestern University)
Dr. Bob McMurray (Associate Professor, Department of Psychology, University of Iowa)

Invited Panel Discussants:

Dr. Isabelle Darcy (Associate Professor, Second Language Studies, Indiana University)
Dr. Rachel Hayes-Harb (Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics, University of Utah)
Dr. Annie Tremblay (Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics, University of Kansas)
Dr. Tessa Bent (Assistant Professor, Speech Sciences, Indiana University)
Dr. Miquel Simonet (Associate Professor, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, University of Arizona) 

Co-organizers:

Dr. Christine Shea (Assistant Professor, Department of Spanish and Portuguese, University of Iowa)

Dr. Emilie Destruel-Johnson (Assistant Professor, Department of French and Italian, University of Iowa)

Call for Papers:

We invite abstracts on topics related to speech perception and how sounds are encoded in the lexicon of bilingual (two languages from birth) or second language (additional or sequential languages) listeners. We are particularly interested in presentations that test theoretical models or proposals and and relate to the following issues:

1. The role of phonetic detail in the bilingual lexicon and lexical activation.
2. The role of variability in the input and its effects on lexical encoding in bilingual and second language learners.
3. The role of orthography in speech perception and lexical activation.

Abstract submission: September 1 - December 11, 2015
Abstracts can be uploaded via Easy Abs: http://linguistlist.org/easyabs/soundtoword16

Notification of acceptance: January 15, 2016

Length:

Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words (please indicate the word count at the bottom) not including title, figures or references. Please do not include any personal or otherwise identifying information in the abstract. Abstracts must clearly state the hypothesis and theoretical contribution of the study.
