Date: 26-Apr-2017 - 27-Apr-2017
Location: London, United Kingdom 
Contact Person: Valerie Hazan
Meeting Email: sppl2017 at pals.ucl.ac.uk

Linguistic Field(s): Cognitive Science; Language Acquisition; Neurolinguistics; Phonetics; Psycholinguistics 

Call Deadline: 15-Jan-2017 

Meeting Description:

Although the focus of much research into speech development has been to
establish when ‘adult-like’ performance is reached (with young adult speakers
taken as a ‘norm’), it is increasingly clear that speech perception and
production abilities are undergoing constant change across the lifespan as a
result of physical changes, exposure to language variation, and cognitive
changes at various periods of our lives. Few studies have examined changes in
speech production or perception measures across the lifespan using common
materials and experimental designs. Lifespan studies can further our
understanding of the extent and direction of these changes for key measures of
speech communication and of how these changes interact with cognitive, social
or sensory factors. Such knowledge is essential to refine and extend models of
speech perception and production.

The workshop will provide an opportunity for interactions between researchers
from areas of speech and language sciences research that may be focused on
different developmental stages, e.g. early development and ageing. It will
also discuss methodological issues, such as how to overcome the difficulty of
developing tests that are equally appropriate for children, younger and older
adults, and will consider ‘missing gaps’ in the developmental trajectory, e.g.
data for older teenagers and middle-aged adults.


Call for Papers:

We invite submissions for oral and poster presentations. Presentations can
include or consist of demonstrations of tests and software. We expect
submitted papers to report experimental and modelling studies relating to more
than one age group or longitudinal work.

This year the LINGUIST List hopes to raise $79,000. This money 
will go to help keep the List running by supporting all of our 
Student Editors for the coming year.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Indiana University and
as such can receive donations through Indiana University Foundation. We
also collect donations via eLinguistics Foundation, a registered 501(c)
Non Profit organization with the federal tax number 45-4211155. Either
way, the donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your
state tax return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the
IRS Web-Site, or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that
they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization.
Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department
and sending us a form that the Indiana University Foundation fills in
and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative
procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.


Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
