Linguistic Field(s): Language Acquisition; Phonetics; Phonology; Psycholinguistics 

Meeting Description: 

We are delighted to announce a one-day conference on Second Language Acquisition of Phonology (SLP2012) to be held at the University of York, UK, on 6 July 2012. Our invited speakers are Rachel Hayes-Harb (University of Utah) and Paul Iverson (UCL).

Second language phonetics and phonology is a rapidly expanding field, with 20 articles published on 'second language' in the Journal of Phonetics in 2011 alone. Since there are relatively few dedicated conferences in this field, SLP2012 will provide a valuable opportunity for researchers to meet and discuss their work.

The conference will include a special session on acquisition of phonetics and phonology by English learners of other languages. Since the majority of research into second language phonology focuses on the acquisition of English, we would like to provide a forum for researchers working in the opposite direction to share their findings.
