Meeting Description:

URPP Language and Space of the University of Zurich is pleased to announce the
Workshop on Accommodation in Speech Communication. The workshop, bringing
together researchers working in the areas of phonetics and speech sciences,
multimodality, interaction analysis, linguistics, psychology and computer
sciences, aims to provide a forum for discussing corpora, methods and
measures, currently applied in accommodation research to quantify convergence
in speech communication.


Call for Papers:

As the phenomenon of accommodation occurs at several linguistic and
extra-linguistic levels, and its dynamics may vary noticeably depending on
speaker-specific, linguistic and situational factors, topics for which
contributors are invited include:

- Acoustic/articulatory measures of convergence in interactive and
non-interactive speech tasks
- Multimodal synchronization in face-to-face interactions
- Lexical, grammatical, syntactic and conversational alignment in speech
communi cation
- Indexical, linguistic and contextual factors affecting degree and direction
of accommodation
- Code-mixing/switching in language contact situations

Given that accommodation is not a prerequisite of human-to-human speech
interactions, we also encourage the submission of proposals dealing with:

- Accommodation in written interactions
- Accommodation in animal communication
- Human-to-machine, machine-to-human accommodation

Guest Speakers:
 
- Rivka Levitan - Brooklyn College & CUNY Graduate Center
- Jennifer Pardo - Montclair State University
- Antje Schweitzer - Stuttgart University

Organizers:

Elisa Pellegrino, Volker Dellwo, Yshai Kalmanovitch, Wolfgang Kesselheim
