Catherine <span class="il">Best</span> is a Labex EFL International Chair in 2014 and will be
working at the Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie from April 14 to May 21. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times;">She is a Professor and Chair in Psycholinguistic Research at MARCS Institute
and the School of Humanities and Communication Arts at the University of
Western Sydney (Australia), is the Editor-in-Chief of the journal <i>Phonetica,</i> and
has also been selected as the ISCA Distinguished Lecturer (International Speech
Communicaiton Association) for 2014-2016. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times;">Professor <span class="il">Best</span> is most well-known for
her Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM) of nonnative speech perception and
empirical findings within that framework, which has more recently been extended
to cross-language perception by second language learners and bilingual
listeners. Her current work has also extended the principles of cross-language
speech perception to address how adult and infant listeners deal with regional
accent differences <i>within</i> their own native language when
recognizing spoken words. <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times;">Where</span></b><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times;">?

#1: April 22, 16-18h: </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times;">title:
"Devil or angel in the details? Phonetic variation and the complementary
principles of phonological distinctiveness and phonological constancy” </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times;">abstract:The
phonetic patterns of ambient speech provide the raw materials for infants to
discover the principles of their native language. By 10-12 months they show
attunement to phonetic variations that are relevant in their language, and
declining sensitivity to distinctions that are irrelevant to it, laying the
cornerstone for mature listeners’ rapid and automatic recognition of native
words. But what makes a phonetic distinction ‘relevant’ versus ‘irrelevant?’
The answer lies in how listeners relate the phonetic details of a word to its
phonological structure, while taking into account the extensive phonetic
variations in a given word across talkers, speech styles, and regional accents.
Those phonetic variations are not “noise,” instead providing crucial
information about two complementary principles that together define the
phonological structure of words. One principle is phonological distinctiveness,
which refers to language-specific minimal contrasts that meaningfully
distinguish otherwise identical spoken forms. The complementary principle is
phonological constancy, which permits listeners to recognize a word across
talker and accent differences. A spoken word’s structure is co-defined by the
phonetic variations that alter its phonological form and those that leave it
intact. Discovering the balance between those two sides of native speech
variability requires both episodic and abstract learning, which moves the child
beyond attunement and into the realm of word recognition, and provides the
foundation for adults' rapid, automatic recognition of native language words.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times;"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Times;">Talks
