Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 15-Aug-2021 

Meeting Description:

Recent findings from auditory neuroscience suggest that periodic
electrophysiological activity supports the neural processing of spoken
language (for review, see Poeppel & Assaneo, 2020). Periodic modulations of
neuronal potentials, so-called neural oscillations, represent time windows for
acoustic and abstract information processing at different temporal
granularities. Oscillatory cycles of different durations are known—from a few
milliseconds to a few seconds. Synchronization of oscillations has been
described for phonemes, syllabic nuclei, prosodic boundaries, and syntactic
phrases (for review, see Meyer, 2018; Strauß & Schwartz, 2017).

This workshop critically evaluates the major assumption of this research:
Neural oscillations can serve to process acoustic and abstract units only if
these units are rhythmic themselves. But are phonemes, syllabic nuclei,
prosodic boundaries, and syntactic phrases really rhythmic? Does our
linguistic behavior in production and comprehension then also exhibit rhythmic
patterns?

(Note: The workshop is part of the Annual Conference of the DGfS.)


Call for Papers: 

We invite you to submit abstracts for talks (20 minutes + 10 minutes
discussion). Abstracts should be submitted as a single PDF file of 250 words;
references don’t count and an optional figure page is fine. Please submit your
abstract via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=ag14dgfs2022 by 15
August, 2021.
