Meeting Description:

Individuals can be confronted with spoken language in a variety of
suboptimal listening conditions. These adverse conditions can affect
the processing of the target structures produced by a speaker on
multiple levels. That is, it is not only the (pure) acoustic
competition between the target signal and the adverse condition that
possibly creates challenges for listeners, (other) linguistic (e.g.,
morphological, syntactic) and cognitive domains can be affected, too.
Moreover, in the presence of adverse listening conditions, individuals
might face fewer difficulties with some than with other linguistic
structures, or some individuals have a harder time than others.

The present workshop aims at bringing together researchers who are
interested in how we acquire and process spoken language in such
unfavorable conditions. Contributions should have a linguistic focus
and are welcome to approach the workshop theme from various
theoretical and empirical angles.

Call for Papers:

Abstracts should be sent to marcel.schlechtweg at uol.de by October 31,
2024 (both pdf and word file, max. one page, 12 pt, Times New Roman,
single spacing). Topics include, but are not limited to, the
perception, recognition, and/or production of linguistic structures
(e.g., phonetic, phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic) in
adverse listening conditions. Adverse listening conditions, in turn,
can refer to a variety of phenomena, such as, among other things,
speech-shaped or background babble noise. Furthermore, contributions
are welcome to focus on specific target groups, for example, native
and/or non-native speakers, monolingual and/or multilingual
listeners/speakers, children and/or adults, individuals with and/or
without hearing loss.
