Linguistic Field(s): Phonetics; Phonology 

Meeting Description: 

Aim:

This two-day workshop is aimed at bringing together data-driven research on segmental 
and prosodic variability and model-driven research including computational modeling and 
simulations of such variability.

The workshop will explore both segmental and prosodic variability from a variety of 
perspectives, including a computational one, with a particular focus on addressing the 
following questions:

How does variability inform our understanding of phonological theory and mental 
representations? In what way can computational methodologies provide further insights 
into the causes and effects of variability? How does variability impact upon our ability to 
acquire language, and to learn subsequent languages? What is the role of synchronic 
variability in language change?

Invited Speakers:

- Mirjam Ernestus, Radboud University Nijmegen/MPI 
- Silke Hamann, University of Amsterdam
- Andrew Wedel, University of Arizona

Registration:

There will be no registration fee, but we ask participants to confirm their attendance in 
advance to help us plan appropriately, and because space will be limited.

If you would like to attend the workshop, please register by email to variability-workshop at ims.uni-stuttgart.de by September 10.
