This workshop examines this topic from a number of different phonetic, phonological, and psycholinguistic perspectives, including child language acquisition, non-native production and perception, sound change, and phonotactic learning. The workshop will be held on one day, including invited 1 hour talks and a poster session. Titles for Oral Presentations: Lisa Davidson (New York University): Variability attenuates sensitivity to acoustic detail in cross-language speech production Matt Goldrick (Northwestern University): Abstraction and phonetic detail in the acquisition of gradient phonotactics Bob McMurray (University of Iowa): Variability and the emergence of abstraction from simple learning principles: Evidence from early word learning and reading Katherine White (University of Waterloo): Coping with phonetic variation in early word recognition Alan Yu (University of Chicago): Cross-individual variation in speech perception and production
