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?

2nd Call for Papers:

Call for satellite workshop proposals:

The organizers of LabPhon15 are currently inviting proposals for satellite workshops to take place before or after the conference. For fullest consideration, the deadline for proposals is November 1, 2015. Proposals received after this date may be considered according to space availability. Initial workshop acceptance notifications will be sent via email by November 15, 2015.

Workshops may be proposed on any topic related to laboratory phonology, including both research- and technically-oriented sessions. Workshops will be held on Wednesday, July 13 and Sunday, July 17, 2016, on the Cornell University campus.

To propose your satellite workshop, please submit a brief description of the event (no more than two pages). Please be sure to include:

- the workshop's title
- the name(s) and affiliation(s) of the organizer(s)
- a description of the workshop's structure, purpose and goals
- total workshop length: 3 hours or 6 hours
- preferred workshop date: July 13 or July 17
- an estimated number of participants
- a 100-word abstract for publicity purposes 

Please submit your proposal via email in pdf format to LabPhon15 at cornell.edu.

If your workshop proposal is accepted, please understand that Cornell will provide  the meeting space and advertisement of the workshop on the webpage. All other workshop-related tasks (planning, budget, publicity, etc.) are the responsibility of the organizer(s). If the workshop involves collecting a fee and/or registration information from participants, the workshop organizer(s) must make the necessary arrangements, separate from the registration and payment process for the main LabPhon15 conference.

For any questions related to satellite meeting proposals, please email Christian DiCanio at cdicanio at buffalo.edu.
