Meeting Description:
Aim:
This two-day workshop is aimed at bringing together data-driven research on segmental
and prosodic variability and model-driven research including computational modeling and
simulations of such variability.
The workshop will explore both segmental and prosodic variability from a variety of
perspectives, including a computational one, with a particular focus on addressing the
following questions:
How does variability inform our understanding of phonological theory and mental
representations? In what way can computational methodologies provide further insights
into the causes and effects of variability? How does variability impact upon our ability to
acquire language, and to learn subsequent languages? What is the role of synchronic
variability in language change?
Invited Speakers:
- Mirjam Ernestus, Radboud University Nijmegen/MPI
- Silke Hamann, University of Amsterdam
- Andrew Wedel, University of Arizona
Registration:
