Call Deadline: 16-Apr-2018 

Meeting Description:

As an integral part of spoken language, prosody has been shown to play an
important role in many speech production and perception processes. However,
our knowledge of the role of prosody in speech processing draws on a
relatively narrow range of (mostly closely related) languages. There is an
urgent need for more psycholinguistic research looking at commonalities and
differences in the use of prosodic cues in speech processing across different
languages, and also different varieties of major languages. This workshop aims
to bring together researchers working in this area. We are particularly
interested in research on: (i) the role of prosody in semantic interpretation,
including information structure; and (ii) prosody as an organisational
structure for speech production and perception, including multimodal
perspectives.

Invited Speakers:

Anne Cutler, MARCS, Western Sydney University
Bettina Braun, Universität Konstanz
Jennifer Cole, Northwestern University
Janet Fletcher, University of Melbourne
Nicole Gotzner, Leibniz-ZAS Berlin


2nd Call for Papers:

This is a second and final call for submissions to the Workshop on the
Processing of Prosody across Languages and Varieties (ProsLang), to be held at
the School of Linguistics and Applied Language Studies, Victoria University of
Wellington (VUW), New Zealand, 29-30 November 2018.

Abstract deadline: 16 April 2018
Notification of acceptance: 30 April 2018

The Workshop is a satellite of the 17th Speech Science & Technology
Conference, University of New South Wales, Sydney, 4-7 December 2018. 

Topics:

Topics include, but are not limited to, cross-linguistic and cross-varietal
commonalities and differences in:

- The role of prosody in signalling information structure, particularly in the
activation and resolution of contrast and contrastive alternatives
- The integration of prosody and morphosyntactic cues in speech comprehension,
e.g. as cues to information structure
- The role of prosody in the management and interpretation of discourse
prosodic structure as an organisational frame in speech production or
perception
- Links between prosodic structure and multimodal speech cues such as gesture

Submissions:

We invite submissions of one-page abstracts following the guidelines on the
Workshop website: https://proslang.wordpress.com/about/ 

Organisers:

Sasha Calhoun, Paul Warren, Olcay Türk, Mengzhu Yan, VUW; Janet Fletcher,
University of Melbourne
