3ème JOURNÉE «TROUBLES D'APPRENTISSAGE DU LANGAGE ORAL ET ÉCRIT»,
Aix-en-Provence, le 15 novembre 2002
THEMATIQUE :
L'objectif de cette manifestation est d'établir un panorama des
recherches scientifiques francophones dans le domaine des troubles
d'apprentissage du langage oral et écrit. L'incidence importante de ces
troubles (un à trois enfants par classe de cours préparatoire), les
progrès réalisés dans leur diagnostic et les enjeux socio-économiques
(en particulier en termes d'illettrisme) mieux reconnus en font en outre
un objet d'étude idéal, à l'intersection de la neuropsychologie, de la
linguistique et des sciences cognitives.
La journée a été spécifiquement conçue pour susciter des croisements
inter-disciplinaires et favoriser les échanges entre chercheurs venus
d'horizons différents. Elle fera intervenir des phonéticiens, des
neurologues, des psycholinguistes, des spécialistes de l'acquisition de
la parole, des chercheurs en psychologie cognitive, des
neuropsychologues. A ce titre, la journée intéresse une communauté
scientifique extrêmement diversifiée.
Soulignons que la journée présentera un intérêt particulier pour les
étudiants de niveau doctoral qui pourront y trouver l'occasion de
présenter leurs premiers travaux mais aussi de recevoir une formation
avancée fournie par des chercheurs internationalement reconnus.
COMMUNICATIONS ORALES :
Comme les années précédentes, les communications orales ne font
intervenir que des conférenciers invités : M. Bastien (LPC & Université

2nd International Workshop on the Phonology and Morphology of Creole
Languages
October 8-10, 2003
University of Siegen, Germany
Until the late 1990s, phonology and morphology have been neglected
areas in the study of creole languages. Available phonological studies
were largely confined to segmental aspects, and morphology was
generally held to be marginal in these languages, if not totally
absent. More recent studies have shown, however, that the
investigation of creole phonology and morphology is of considerable
importance for the field of creole studies and beyond, both
theoretically and empirically.
The papers given at the first 'International Workshop on the Phonology
and Morphology of Creole Languages' (held in Siegen in 2001) have
called into question long-cherished beliefs about the nature of creole
phonology and morphology (e.g. the alleged absence of inflection,
grammatical tone and semantic opacity), and provided a wealth of
interesting phenomena from a wide range of pidgins and creoles that
have long been ignored by students of these languages.
The purpose of the '2nd International Workshop on the Phonology and
Morphology of Creole Languages' is to provide another forum for the
presentation of work on segmental and suprasegmental phonology,
morpho- phonology and morphology of creole languages. The theoretical
focus of the workshop will be on the question of emergence of
phonological and morphological structure. Papers are particularly
welcome that address the question of how in situations of extreme
language contact phonological structure (syllable structure, stress
systems and tone systems) emerges, and which factors are responsible
for the crystallization of inflection, derivation and
word-formation. Studies relating to other issues, descriptive or
theoretical, are of course also welcome.
There will be approximately 24 slots for papers, which will be
selected on the basis of anonymously reviewed abstracts. Each paper
will be allotted 25 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for
discussion.
All paper presenters will be provided free accomodation for up to four
nights in a centrally located hotel.
The workshop will be organized by Ingo Plag, Chair in English
Linguistics, University of Siegen, Germany.
Abstracts: Send in three anonymous copies of your abstract (for
review), and one copy including your name, mailing address, e-mail
address, fax and telephone number via regular mail to the address
given below. In addition, provide an electronic version of your
abstract via e-mail, or on a disk. Abstracts should not exceed a
maximum length of 1 page, 1.5-spaced.
The deadline for the receipt of abstracts is May 1, 2003. Acceptance
notices will be sent out no later than June 15, 2003.
Send your abstract to the following address:

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
From representations to constraints
DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS: 1 DEC 2002
The phonology team of the Equipe de Recherche en Syntaxe et Sémantique
(CNRS & Université de Toulouse-Le Mirail) will organise in Toulouse, in
partnership with the GDR 1954 Phonologie du CNRS, an international
conference on the theme 'From representations to constraints'.
Coordinator: Elsa Gomez-Imbert.
Le colloque comporte deux parties/The conference is made up of two
parts:
1)
"Headhood, contrastivity and specification"
Coordinators: P. Carr et J. Durand
Monday 7th July to Wednesday 9th July lunchtime
2)
"From representations to constraints and from constraints to
representations"
Coordinators: L. Labrune, E. Gomez-Imbert.
Wed 9th July pm to Friday 11th July pm
The list of guest speakers includes: John Anderson, Luigi Burzio, Teresa
Cabré, François Dell,
Colleen Fitzgerald, Shosuke Haraguchi, John Harris, Harry van der Hulst,
Darlene La Charité, Maria-Rosa Lloret, Carole Paradis, Pilar Prieto,
Curt Rice, Filomena Spatti Sandalo.
The aim of this conference is to explore, on the one hand, the nature of
concepts such as headhood, contrast and specification in phonology and,
on the other, the part played by representations in constraint-based
phonologies. Most phonological frameworks appeal to the notion of head
within phonological domains and, while this notion may seem transparent,
one can nevertheless wonder about its homogeneity from domain to domain:
for example within syllabic constituents, stress groups and
infrasegmental structure. Closely linked to this question is that of the
specification of phonological elements and the role played by contrast
in the
establishment of phonological structure. While the role of constraints
within phonological theories is now well supported, various constraint
based theories such as Optimality Theory are not theories of
representations. Nevertheless, representational questions continue to
pose problems. Do they emerge from constraints or do they need to be
given a central place within phonological theory ? And if so, how can
their form be specified ? These are some of the questions which will be
addressed within the conference.
The whole conference will be made up of 40 papers of 50 mn each
(including discussion time), poster sessions and a round table for each
part of the conference. Twenty of the papers will be by invitation, and
twenty papers will be selected by the scientific committee on the basis
of the abstracts. Please send an anonymised summary of 400 words
maximum, specifying whether you wish to be considered for a paper and/or
a poster presentation.
Languages: French and English.
DATE LIMITE POUR LES RESUMES: 1 DEC 2002.
DEADLIINE FOR ABSTRACTS: 1 DEC 2002.

Postdoc opportunities at ENST, Paris and LORIA, Nancy, France
ENST (Paris) and LORIA/ISA and LORIA/Speech Group are involed in a
project aiming at assisting second language acquisition. The first stage
of this project is to assemble already developed components, a basic 3D
face model, 2D vocal-tract model, and an acoustic model of the vocal
tract for speech synthesis, to formulate a coherent speaking head.
Two postdoc positions are available (one at ENST/Paris and one at
LORIA/Nancy):
1) Adaptation of a geometrical model of a face to a new speaker.
2) The second stage is to study strategies to control the speaking head
to produce natural speech sounds and face motion.
Scientific requirement: The candidate must have a Ph.D and a strong
experience in Computer vision and/or Speech processing (articulatory
