some prosody stuff at cns
TheCNS annual meeting in Montréal is looming. Here are some links to prosody-related posters from the website. This list is not intended to be complete in any way, it’s just what I saw while gleaning through the list in the last 15min:
More …brams scientific day 2010
This looks pretty interesting: Brams scientific day
BRAMS is pleased to announce a full-day symposium on Auditory Cognitive Neuroscience. This event will double as the 2010 BRAMS Scientific Day, and will be held on April 16th 2010. The symposium will be held one day before the Cognitive Neuroscience Society meeting in the Jeanne Timmins auditorium of the Montreal Neurological Institute.
Brams is the International Laboratory for Brain, Music and Sound Research. Prosody.lab is currently running a study on Euroopean and Québec French in their fancy lab-space over at Université de Montréal.
phonlex 2010
Extended Deadline: 16th of April, 2010
The Phonlex project (From Phonology to the Lexicon: liaison and cognition in
contemporary French) brings together 4 linguistic and psycholinguistic
research teams in Toulouse, Grenoble and Paris. These teams have been
investigating various dimensions of French liaison: phonological and
phonetic aspects, regional variation, the synchronic and diachronic
dimension, oral developmental issues as well as liaison in written production.
These topics will constitute the core of our conference. However, French
liaison is not an isolated sandhi phenomenon within the languages of the
world and we therefore welcome papers which discuss the wider issue of
word-segmentation and adjustments at word-boundaries.
on linguistic lnterfaces II
The deadline for abstract submission for on linguistic lnterfaces is approaching.
Date: 02-Dec-2010 - 04-Dec-2010
Location: Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Deadline for abstract submission: April 30
A full description of our knowledge of language must include reference to several different components, each with its own particular properties. These components must interact with each other, and with a lexicon, which we may think of as a system of stored associations between pieces of information pertaining to many of the above components. In recent years, the study of the interaction between these different levels of linguistic knowledge has attracted increasing interest. The nature and extent of the interaction of different linguistic modules is a central question to be addressed by a modern theory of linguistic knowledge.
workshop on prosodic development
The program of the workshop on prosodic development, organized by Pilar Prieto is now available online.
The main goal of this one-day workshop is to discuss different aspects of the children’s prosodic development in different languages. Discussions will address specific questions regarding the influence of language-specific distributional and frequency properties on language development and also the influence of general production and perception constraints. One of the goals will be to try to bridge the gap between perception and production studies in prosodic development.
frontiers of prosody
A call for frontiers of prosody, a conference to take place in Leiden, Netherlands, was just posted:
We welcome the submission of work which uses behavioral and neuroimaging methods to address the role of prosodic information in production and comprehension, including individual variation and effects that can be attributed to typologically different prosodic systems.
Deadline for abstract submission: August 15, 2010
Workshop: November 19-20, 2010 in Leiden, Netherlands
amlap 2010
AMLaP is an international conference which has established itself as the premier European venue for interdisciplinary research into how people process language. The aim of the conference is to bring together psychological, computational, and theoretical perspectives on the cognitive mechanisms which underlie any aspect of human language processing. Submissions which integrate experimental psycholinguistic evidence with formal or computational models of psychological processes are especially encouraged.
6th - 8th September 2010, York, UK
Submission Dates: Abstract submission will open May 1st. Abstracts due by May 28th.
