Colloque : Mathematiques et Phonologie
Quels outils mathematiques pour la modelisation en phonologie?
(MathPhon I)

Orleans - 31 Aout - 1er Septembre 2006

Le colloque Mathematiques et Phonologie est a notre connaissance le premier 
du  genre a l'echelle internationale. Des mathematiciens - 
issus de la statistique, de la modelisation, des equations aux derivees 
partielles ou du traitement du signal - et des phonologues venus de
differentes ecoles - Phonologie generative et CVCV, theorie de l'optimalite, 
phonologie de laboratoire, phonologie cognitive, acquisitionnisme
- confronteront leurs methodes et leurs resultats sur un meme objet : 
la phonologie, afin d'eprouver la portee et la pertinence des  modelisations 
mathematiques. Une collaboration de cet ordre est deja effective dans 
le cadre de l'ACI, Systemes Complexes en SHS, intitulee   "Vers un 
modele dynamique de l'emergence des representations symboliques dans 
le traitement de la parole (http://www.lpl.univ-aix.fr/~nguyen/sys_comp.html). 
Il parait opportun d'ouvrir de nouveaux champs a une collaboration entre deux
domaines qui se revendiquent d'une facon differente de la formalisation, 
afin de mesurer les convergences et les antinomies des theories.

La thematique du colloque est volontairement ouverte a toutes les ecoles 
et toutes les branches des deux disciplines. La phonologie, et 
plus generalement les phenomenes qui relevent des sciences du langage 
n'ont guere ete abordes par la communaute mathematique en 
dehors d'analyses a base statistique ou logique et, dans un dialogue 
avec les sciences physiques, dans le traitement du signal (acoustique, 
phonetique) ou la modelisation de l'appareil vocal (mecanique ondulatoire, 
resonance). L'operabilite des formalismes, la diversite des 
notations et la croissance spectaculaire des donnees requierent de 
nouveaux moyens.  L'accent sera mis sur la modelisation.

  Le colloque est organise conjointement par le CORAL (Centre Orleanais 
de Recherche en Anthropologie et Linguistique dirige par G. 
Bergounioux) et le MAPMO (Mathematiques et Applications, Physique 
Mathematique d'Orleans auquel appartient M. Bergounioux,
mathematicienne) a l'Universite d'Orleans les 31 aout et 1er septembre 2006. 
Nous prevoyons, des conferences plenieres d'une heure, 
une session de communications (45mn), une session poster  et une seance 
tutorial "maths pour la phonologie"




Symposium:: Mathematics and phonology - Mathematical modelling  tools in 
phonology (MathPhon I)
Orleans  August, 31st / September 1st

The Mathematics and Phonology symposium is an international event of
unprecedented scale. Mathematicians specialising in statistics, 
modelling, PDEs, or signal processing and phonologists originating from 
a whole range of backgrounds - Generative  phonology and CVCV, 
Optimality theory, Laboratory phonology, cognitive phonology, acquisition - 
will examine their methods and results on the same field ... 
phonology ... in an effort to put to the test the validity and the scope of 
mathematical models. A similar collaboration is already at work 
within the context of the ACI, Complex SHS Systems which has been named: 
"towards a dynamic model of the emergence of symbolic representations 
in speech processing." (http://www.lpl.univ-aix.fr/~nguyen/sys_comp.html). 
The conference is intended to open new opportunities for collaboration 
between two fields intimately involved with formalism as well as providing
an opportunity to assess the divergence and converging of their theories.

The topic of the symposium is purposely opened to all schools of thought 
and all different areas of the field. Phonology, and more widely 
language-science-related phenomena have hardly ever been touched upon 
by the mathematical community apart from statistics- and logic-based 
analyses, a dialogue with physics, signal processing (acoustic and 
phonetic) and the modelling of the vocal apparatus  (wave mechanics, 
resonance). The practicality of the different formalisms, the diversity of 
notations and the spectacular increase of data creates a space and a need 
for new tools. The stress will be put on modelling.

The symposium is organised by both the CORAL (centre Orleanais de Recherche 
en Anthropologie et linguistique dirige par Gabriel Bergounioux) and the 
MAPMO (Mathematiques et applications Physique Mathematique d'Orleans which 
counts amongst its members Ms Bergounioux, a mathematician) at the university 
of Orleans on the 31st of August and the 1st of September 2006. A one-hour 
plenary conference, a 45-min communication session, a poster session and 
a "maths for phonology" tutorial are scheduled.

Submissions should be sent before April 20th 2006 to Sophie Wauquiers

Colloquium: Phonetic bases of distinctive features

3 July, 2006

Keynote speaker: Kenneth N. Stevens

Held in Paris, France, organised by a working group of phonologists and 
phoneticians at the Laboratory of Phonetics and Phonology (LPP), 
CNRS/Sorbonne-nouvelle, Paris.

Conference website: http://ed268.univ-paris3.fr/lpp/phonetic_bases/index.html

BACKGROUND.   This one-day colloquium, which follows LabPhon 10 by two 
days, explores issues in the phonetic definition of distinctive 
features.   Quantal theory, developed by Kenneth N. Stevens and his 
collaborators at MIT, is among the recent approaches which has most 
successfully integrated phonetic and phonological appraoches to the study 
of sound structure.  This theory proposes that the phonetic categories 
commonly used across languages to define sound inventories and phonological 
processes are defined in terms of "natural" discontinuities between 
articulatory parameters and their acoustic effects, and between acoustic 
parameters and their perceptual effects.  While this approach has been very 
influential in recent work, many questions remain open.

At the colloquium, the following questions may be raised, among 
others:  What are the features and how are they defined?  Why do features 
exploit certain articulatory-acoustic dimensions instead of others?  Do all 
features have quantal acoustic or auditory boundaries?   Do feature 
definitions vary across languages?  How robust are proposed feature 
attributes under different conditions (e.g. speaker, speech rate, segment 
class, phonological and prosodic context)?  Under what conditions are 
feature-based contrasts enhanced?  What is the role of features in language 
acquisition, lexical recognition, and the perception of native and 
non-native languages?  What is their cognitive status?   Discussion will 
draw upon various perspectives, including phonetic, phonological, 
psycholinguistic, neurolinguistic, and developmental.

DATE : Monday 3 July, 2006, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. (see website for updated 
schedules and other information)
PLACE : Amphitheatre Henri Poincare, Carre des Sciences, Ministere de la 
Recherche, 1 rue Descartes, Paris 5e (metro Maubert-Mutualite or
