Meeting Description:

Université Côte d'Azur will host a two-day conference whose goal is to promote
exchange between electrophysiological research and phonological theory. The
conference will include keynote talks, research presentations, and round table
discussions.

With the development of affordable, easy to use systems to conduct
electroencephalographical research, many studies reference ‘phonology’ in some
way. However, the amount of EEG research that explicitly addresses
phonological theory is relatively limited. This workshop aims to bring
together experts in the field of EEG research and phonology to discuss
electrophysiological evidence as it informs phonological theory, to share the
state-of-the-art and identify the primary challenges to the field moving
forward from both methodological and theoretical perspectives.

A considerable amount of EEG research pertaining to phonological theory has
focused on speech perception. Outcomes of these lines of research include
evidence for sub-segmental units of representation (Monahan, Lau & Idsardi
2013), underspecified representations (Lahiri & Reetz 2010), underlying
representations transformed by assimilation processes (Sun et al. 2015), and
abstract phonotactic constraints (Steinberg, Truckenbrodt & Jacobsen 2010).
The EEG literature on phonology in speech production has mostly been focused
on the encoding of single words in picture-naming and word-reading tasks, with
attention to both segmental and suprasegmental properties (Schiller, Bles &
Jansma 2003). Several recent and ongoing projects use neurophysiological
methods to investigate phonological and morpho-phonological processes
(MORPHON, A. Lahiri; From Mind to Brain, T. Scheer). Beyond ERP methodology,
recent work on entrainment of neural oscillations in M/EEG is shedding new
light on the basic neural mechanisms of language processing (Ding et al.
2017).

We envision a two day meeting where stabilized or fresh-from-the-lab results
are presented, also with room for discussing methodology, experiment design
and emerging projects. Contributors are invited to present not only their data
and interpretation, but also the bigger picture of how they view phonology in
a linguistic context and the role of neurophysiological evidence in phonology.
The overall idea is to create a venue for the exchange of ideas about how
fruitful interaction of electrophysiology and phonological theory can be
promoted.

Invited Speakers:

Sharon Peperkamp (ENS Paris)
Aditi Lahiri (Oxford)
Mathias Scharinger (Marburg)
Richard Wiese (Marburg)
Bill Idsardi (Maryland)

Local org team: Mirjam de Jonge, Tobias Scheer, Alex Chabot, Jonathan Bucci.


2nd Call for Papers:

We invite submissions for 20+10 minute presentations (max. one page text and
one page supporting material such as graphs, examples, references), to be sent
to PhonolEEGy at univ-cotedazur.fr Moderate travel grants up to €400 for
early-stage researchers are available: please mention your application for
funding in your submission.

Deadline for submissions: 1 December 2019
Notification: 15 January 2020
Conference: 21-22 April 2020

To encourage young researchers with more fresh ideas and findings than travel
funding to present at the workshop, we offer travel grants for early-stage
researchers with outstanding submissions.
