Linguistic Field(s): Phonetics; Phonology

A conference exploring new frontiers in dynamical models of speech.
The event is co-located at the 2025 LSA Linguistics Institute and
coincides with the class "Dynamics of speech production", taught by
Jason A. Shaw and Michael C. Stern.
A fundamental topic of linguistic inquiry concerns the nature of
phonological cognition. Dynamical models of speech – most prominently
Articulatory Phonology (Browman & Goldstein 1992) / Task Dynamics
(Kelso, Saltzman & Tuller 1986) – have proven great successes in
modelling the dynamics of coarticulation (Fowler 1980), prosody (Byrd
2003; Iskarous et al. 2024), long-range processes (Gafos & Benus 2006;
Tilsen 2019), and neural dynamics of speech planning (Roon & Gafos
2006; Tilsen 2022; Stern & Shaw 2023). At the same time, there remain
a range of unresolved issues and critiques, including the nature of
timing control, the relations between symbolics and dynamics, the
emergence of phonological structure, and what counts as a necessary
condition of a dynamical theory.
This two-day conference aims to assess the state-of-the-art and future
research directions in dynamical models of speech, featuring plenary
talks from invited speakers, contributed posters, lightening talks
from LSA Institute students, and open discussion sessions. For further
details, including abstract submission and invited speakers, please

Invited speakers include: Adamantios Gafos (Potsdam), Khalil Iskarous
(USC), Melissa Redford (Oregon), Jason Shaw (Yale), Michael Stern
(Yale), Patrycja Strycharczuk (Manchester).
