Meeting Description:
The interphonology session will be dedicated to the following theme:
'Variation, correctness and correction'.
We encourage participants to investigate the phonetic and phonological systems
developed by non-native speakers/learners of English who have command of
English either as a foreign language (EFL) or a second language (ESL) in
various parts of the world and in different contexts of communication.
Interphonology will be discussed both as a theoretical, linguistic construct
and empirically by looking into aspects of the learner's new phonological
system, while in the process of establishing itself or when it has already
been stabilised and/or regularised. Inter-speaker and intra-speaker variation
will also be central to our study of interphonology to understand, for
instance, how segmental variability is integrated in the newly developed
phonological system and how the phonologies of two (or more) languages at work
mutually influence each other.
Correction can be envisaged as a didactic tool for improving students' oral
performances. It can also be rejected on theoretical grounds. It can be
tackled as the adaptation process, or modification process, put in place by
students when trying to reach specific phonological or phonetic targets.
Correctness can constitute a goal as far as communication and interaction in
English are concerned for learners. It can also be questioned as a pedagogical
goal, for instance with the prevalence of RP as a target accent in the French
academic context. The problem of conciliating variation and correction in the
study / teaching of English as a foreign or second language can lend itself to
relevant reflections here.
Call for Papers:
Abstracts should be no longer than one side of A4, with 2.5 cm margins,
single-spaced, with a font size no smaller than 12, and with normal character
spacing. All examples and references in the abstract should be included on the
one single page, but it is enough, when referring to previous work, to cite
''Author (Date)'' in the body of the abstract - you do not need to include the
full reference. Please send two copies of your abstract - one of these should
be anonymous and one should include your name, affiliation and email at the
top of the page, directly below the title. All abstracts will be reviewed
anonymously by members of the scientific committee or other experts in the
field. The named file should be camera-ready, as it will be used in the
abstracts booklet if the proposal is accepted.
Abstracts should be submitted in the same form, in a PDF file, by email to
cecile.viollain at u-paris10.fr with copy to
sylvain.navarro at univ-paris-diderot.fr and nadine.herry at univ-paris8.fr.
Time for papers: 30 minutes, plus 15 minutes for questions.
Dates and Deadlines:
Conference: September 28 - September 30 2017
Final deadline for submissions: March 31 2017
Results of refereeing of abstracts: Friday June 30 2017
