What is the role of variability in how sound systems are acquired or 
changed? This workshop examines this topic from a number of different 
phonetic, phonological, and psycholinguistic perspectives, including child 
language acquisition, non-native production and perception, sound change, 
and phonotactic learning. The workshop will be held on one day, including 
invited 1 hour talks (see below) and a poster session.

**Call for poster submissions**
We invite submission of abstracts reporting computational, experimental, 
neurobiological, and grammar-based research on the role of variation in 
sound system acquisition and change.  

Abstracts should be a one-page .pdf file, formatted at minimum 12-point 
single-spaced with 1 inch margins.  Tables, graphs and references can be on 
a separate page.  Abstracts must be submitted electronically to 
lsa2013-workshop at ling.northwestern.edu.  Deadline for submissions: March 
15, 2011.

Accepted abstracts will be posted to the workshop website.

**Tentative Titles for Oral Presentations**
Lisa Davidson (New York University): Signal variability and phonetic detail 
in the production of non-native phonotactics 
Matt Goldrick (Northwestern University): Abstraction and the acquisition of 
variable phonotactic patterns
Bob McMurray (University of Iowa): Variability and the emergence of 
abstraction from basic learning principles: Evidence from early word 
learning and reading
Katherine White (University of Waterloo): Coping with phonetic variation in 
early word recognition
Alan Yu (University of Chicago): Cross-individual variation in speech 
perception and production

Note: Participants may also be interested in the workshop on "Universality 
and Variability: New Insights from Genetics" to be held the following 
weekend (June 29-30).  See http://genlang2013.weebly.com/ for more details.
