VaLP 2011 – Variation and Language Processing: from experimental pragmatics to sound change

novembro 15, 2010
VaLP 2011 - Variation and Language Processing: from experimental pragmatics to sound change.
Location: Chester, UK
Date: 11-13 April 2011
Conference contact: Phillip Tipton
Email: valp@chester.ac.uk
Website: http://sites.google.com/site/valp2011/home

2nd Call for Papers

The issue of variation in the speech signal is becoming increasingly influential in paradigms of language processing which have, hitherto, largely assumed an idealised speaker-hearer as the source and receiver of the signal.  Insights from variationist sociolinguistic studies of (mainly) speech production, for example, have demonstrated that structured variation is an inherent property of language performance and the most recent work in sociophonetics has underlined the importance of building variation into adequate models of both speech production and perception. A common theme underlying much work carried within the sociophonetic paradigm is that notion that linguistic and social information are processed in similar ways.  This forms part of the wider sociolinguistic concern as to the nature, representation and processing of social meaning  Innovative methodologies, including those drawn from experimental psychology, are now being exploited by variationist sociolinguists to better understand the complexities of the relationship between language variation, change and social meaning. Equally, the burgeoning field of experimental pragmatics places at its heart an experimental approach to the the relationship between language and meaning.  VaLP 2011 aims to offer an opportunity for linguists and others to present research on the interface between linguistic variation, at all levels of the grammar, and language processing.  The conference further aims to act as the catalyst for the launch of an international network of scholars working at the interfaces of their linguistic sub-disciplines, bringing together sociolinguists, psycholinguists and experimental pragmaticians, as well as other linguists, psychologists and cognitive scientists working on the relationship between linguistic variation, in its widest sense, and language processing.

Invited Speakers

David Britain (University of Bern)

Call for Papers Call Deadline: 01-Feb-2011
Call For Papers

PaPI 2011 welcomes the submission of abstracts on any area of phonetics
and phonology. In recent years,  experimental approaches and data evaluation have been crucial in the process of answering many controversial issues within phonological theory. Studies in phonetics that can significantly
contribute to enhance our knowledge of phonology and studies in phonology
that crucially resort to phonetics and corpora analysis are especially
welcome. Preference will be given to cross-linguistic comparisons and
contributions on Romance languages and dialects.

Abstracts should be written in English and not exceed one page of text
(examples included). An extra page may be added for references and/or
figures. Font: Times New Roman, 12pt; Line spacing: single. One copy of the abstract must be sent anonymously and another one with the author’s name(s), e-mail address(es), and affiliation(s). In the latter, the first line of the abstract should contain the title of the paper in boldface, the second line the author’s name(s), the third line the affiliation(s) and the fourth line the e-mail address(es). A blank line should be left between the title lines and the
abstract text.

Submissions should be sent electronically (PDF format) to the following
address: papi2011@urv.cat
