- Holistic phonological representations and their use in speech-language production and word learning
- Personality in speech perception & production
- Perspectives on marginal contrasts
- Reduction

Final Call for Papers:

LabPhon 15: Speech Dynamics and Phonological Representation
July 13-16, 2016, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY USA

Abstract submission for the 15th Conference on Laboratory Phonology Abstract will be open through Dec. 1, 2015 (submission guidelines: http://www.labphon.org/labphon15/abstract_guidelines). LabPhon15 will feature oral sessions that are primarily thematic as well as poster sessions. Contributions to any aspect of laboratory phonology are welcome.

All LabPhon15 presenters are encouraged to submit a written version of their paper to Laboratory Phonology in its new online format (http://www.labphon.org/home/journal).

Selections of papers on the themes of LabPhon15 - Speech Dynamics and Phonological Representation - will also be considered for publication in one or more special collections (the online equivalent of a special issue).

Conference Themes (see the LabPhon15 call for papers for more info: http://www.labphon.org/labphon15/call_for_papers):

Production Dynamics:
- How are representations constructed and implemented in speech, and what does articulation reveal about the dynamics of production mechanisms?
- How do these mechanisms shape representations on longer timescales?

Perceptual Dynamics:
- What forms of perceptual representation do speaker-hearers use and what are the temporal dynamics of perception?
- How does the interaction between perception and production constrain phonological systems on life-span and diachronic timescales?

Prosodic Organization:
- What are the mechanisms of prosodic organization and how do they give rise to cross-linguistic differences?
- What are the connections between perception and production of prosodic structure?

Lexical Dynamics and Memory:
- How do experience and lexical memory influence phonological representations? What are the relations between lexical representation, production, and perception across diverse timescales?

Phonological Acquisition and Changes over the Life-Span:
- What is the nature of early representations and how do they change?
- How does learning a second-language interact with existing representations?

Social Network Dynamics:
- How does the structure of social networks influence phonological representations on diverse timescales?
- What are the roles of perception and production in relation to social network dynamics?

Questions can be addressed to LabPhon15 at cornell.edu
Updates will appear on http://labphon.org/labphon15
