Linguistic Field(s): Phonetics

Meeting Description:

A growing body of research on phonetic imitation or convergence has
found that imitative patterns are influenced by a wide range of
linguistic, social, and cognitive variables (e.g., Babel, 2012; Mielke
et al., 2013; Mitterer & Ernestus, 2008; Pardo, 2006; Yu et al.,
2013). The purpose of this workshop is to address the implications of
these findings for advancing speech perception and production
theories, with a particular focus on cognitive representations of
speech sounds and sound change. We will further present an overview of
the state of the field, highlighting research on phonetic imitation
through different frameworks and methodologies.

We aim for the workshop to focus on research relating to the
theoretical implications of phonetic imitation, ideally considering
its connection with phonological representations or sound change. Some
possible questions to be explored in the workshop include:

- What can phonetic imitation tell us about the nature of the
perception-production link?
- Does imitation target specific acoustic / articulatory aspects,
abstract representations, or both?
- What is the relation between perceptual learning and phonetic
imitation?
- How do imitative behaviors contribute to the initiation or the
spread of sound change?
- How do the imitative changes spread across the lexicon and how is
the process guided by the
grammar?

Note that other questions and topics are also encouraged, as long as
they are related to theoretical implications of imitation.

The workshop will include two thematic sessions: 1) imitation and
phonological representation, and 2) imitation and sound change.
Accepted research will be presented as either (a) an oral presentation
of 10 minutes (in one of the thematic sessions) or (b) a poster
presentation. Abstracts should not exceed one page (single-spaced,
12pt font) including figures and references.
