We are pleased to announce that the 15th Conference on Laboratory 
Phonology (LabPhon 15) will be held at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY, 
in 2016. The overall theme of LabPhon 15 is "*/Speech Dynamics and 
Phonological Representation/*”.


Title: *LabPhon 15 - The 15th Conference on Laboratory Phonology*
Date: July 13-16, 2016
Place: Cornell University, Ithaca, NY USA

*Save the Date *

*LabPhon 15:**/Speech Dynamics and Phonological Representation/*

July 13-16, 2016, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY USA

Phonological representations are dynamic, shaped by forces on diverse 
timescales.  On the timescale of utterances, interactions between 
perceptual, motoric, and memory-related processes provide constraints on 
phonological representations. These same processes, embedded in learning 
systems and dynamic social networks, shape representations on 
developmental and life-span timescales, and in turn influence sound 
systems on historical timescales. Laboratory phonology, through its rich 
quantitative and experimental methodologies, contributes to our 
understanding of phonological systems by providing insight into the 
mechanisms from which representations emerge.

*Conference themes*:

*/Production dynamics:/*//How are representations constructed and 
implemented in speech, and what does articulation reveal about the 
dynamics of production mechanisms? How do these mechanisms shape 
representations on longer timescales?

*/Perceptual dynamics:/*//What forms of perceptual representation do 
speaker-hearers use and what are the temporal dynamics of perception? 
How does the interaction between perception and production constrain 
phonological systems on life-span and diachronic timescales?

*/Prosodic organization:/*//What are the mechanisms of prosodic 
organization and how do they give rise to cross-linguistic differences? 
What are the connections between perception and production of prosodic 
structure?

*/Lexical dynamics and memory: /*How do experience and lexical memory 
influence phonological representations? What are the relations between 
lexical representation, production, and perception across diverse 
timescales?

*/Phonological acquisition and changes over the life-span:/*//What is 
the nature of early representations and how do they change? How does 
learning a second-language interact with existing representations?

*/Social network dynamics:/ *How does the structure of social networks 
influence phonological representations on diverse timescales? What are 
the roles of perception and production in relation to social network 
dynamics?

Contributions to any of these themes or to any other aspects of 
laboratory phonology will be welcome. A call for papers will be 
circulated in the fall of 2015.
