Meeting Description:

LabPhon16: Variation, development and impairment: Between phonetics and
phonology

June 19-22, 2018, University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal

Variation, development and impairment are intertwined key dimensions for our
understanding of language in general, and of phonetics and phonology in
particular. Variation occurs across languages and within languages, at every
level of sound (and other linguistic) structures, and is arguably not random
(e.g., system-related, message-related, speaker-related, climatic-related). It
plays a role in sound change, it challenges the task of acquiring a language
and of language learning in general (how the relevant units are identified and
their form-meaning functions established), and it poses interesting questions
in drawing the lines between typical phonological development and impairments.

2nd Call for Papers:

Abstract submission for the 16th Conference on Laboratory Phonology will be
open through November 15, 2017.

LabPhon16 will feature thematic and non-thematic sessions of oral and poster
presentations. Submissions on any aspect of laboratory phonology are welcome.
Contributions relating to the conference themes are encouraged, as well as
student submissions. Reduced registration fees are available for students, and
a number of travel grants will be awarded on a competitive basis for graduate
student presenters.

Conference Themes:
The overall theme for the conference is Variation, development and impairment:
Between phonetics and phonology. Our aim is to bring together researchers from
phonology, phonetics, psycholinguistics, psychology, speech and language
therapy, neurolinguistics, neurosciences, and related fields and to encourage
interdisciplinary laboratory phonology approaches to language variation,
development and impairment. Thematic sessions will include the following
topics: 
- The phonology and phonetics of language impairments (autism spectrum
disorders, Down syndrome, fragile X syndrome and other intellectual and
developmental disabilities, motor speech disorders, dementia, among others)
- Prosodic variation (e.g., system-related, message-related, speaker-related,
climatic-related, implications for language change, language learning)
- Acquisition and development of phonology and prosody (L1, L2, properties of
the input, frequency, types and tokens, word learning, predictors, among other
related topics)
- Perception and production (perception-production link, sensorimotor effects,
multimodal speech perception, segmental variation and (non)native perception,
language attunement, implications for language acquisition and language
learning)

Deadline: November 15, 2017
Notification of acceptance: February 15, 2018
