Meeting Description:

LabPhon 15: Speech Dynamics and Phonological Representation

July 13-16, 2016, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY USA

Phonological representations are dynamic, shaped by forces on diverse timescales.  On the timescale of utterances, interactions between perceptual, motoric, and memory-related processes provide constraints on phonological representations. These same processes, embedded in learning systems and dynamic social networks, shape representations on developmental and life-span timescales, and in turn influence sound systems on historical timescales. Laboratory phonology, through its rich quantitative and experimental methodologies, contributes to our understanding of phonological systems by providing insight into the mechanisms from which representations emerge.

Conference Themes:

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?

Call for Papers:

Abstract submission is now open for the 15th Conference on Laboratory Phonology. 

LabPhon15 will feature oral sessions that are primarily thematic as well as poster sessions. Submissions on any aspect of laboratory phonology are welcome.

Student submissions are particularly encouraged. Reduced registration fees will be available for all students, and a number of student travel grants will be awarded.

Deadline: December 1, 2015
Notification of acceptance: February 15, 2016
All abstracts must be submitted through EasyChair (via the LabPhon15 website, www.labphon.org/labphon15) between October 1 and midnight December 1 (any time zone). 

Abstract submission guidelines:

- Individuals may submit only one abstract as first or sole author.
- Individuals may be a co-author on more than one abstract.
- Submitted abstracts must be in .pdf format, with A4 or letter size (8.5 x 11 in.) page setting.
- Abstracts may be up to 2 pages, including references and figures. 
- Include the paper title in the abstract.
- Abstracts must have a minimum of 1-inch margins and 11 point font.
- Authors are allowed (but not required) to include one or more figures in their abstract, but any figures should be clearly labeled and should be described in the abstract text.
- The filename must be in the form ''Paper_title.pdf'', or ''Paper_title_abbreviated.pdf''.
For example: Longitudinal_study_long_distance_coarticulation.pdf.
- Review of submitted abstracts is double-blind. Therefore, abstracts must be anonymous; author name(s) must not appear in the abstract or file name. Authors should check that no author name is in the document properties of the .pdf file.
- During the submission process authors may identify which conference theme(s), if any, their submission relates to.
