Workshop: Beyond Hearing
25th May 2010
Leiden, Netherlands
The researchers involved in the NWO VIDI project on 'Morphosyntactic Development
in Children with a Cochlear Implant' at Leiden University and the Consortium of
the FP7-SME1-222291 project 'DUAL PRO' will be organizing a one-day workshop
entitled
'Beyond Hearing: Current Investigations in Listening and Language Skills of
Cochlear Implant Users'
The workshop has two parallel sessions. The first session concentrates on the
language development in cochlear-implanted children, in comparison with hearing
impaired children with classical hearing aids and specific language impairment.
The second session concentrates on the electric-acoustic speech processing and
assessment tools for residual low-frequency hearing in deaf CI users. Both
sessions are followed by a presentation of the newly developed prosodic module
of the Auditory Speech Sound Evaluation (ASSE) aiming to assess prosody
perception in hearing impaired.
Anyone who is interested in attending the workshop is cordially invited to do so.

1 PhD position: Perception of speaking fluency (1,0)
Starting date 1-9-2010, vacancy number 681016
Project content:
Some people speak more fluently than others, with fewer and/or shorter
pauses, a relatively fast speaking rate, and with few "uhm"'s. These
individual differences exist for native speakers, and they also exist for
non-native speakers. For non-native speakers, part of these hesitations are
related to language proficiency. In testing second language oral
proficiency, therefore, fluency is an important component. The
PhD-candidate will investigate which aspects of speech play a role in the
perception of fluency, and in the judging of fluency. The research is
carried out using listening experiments in which several aspects of (second
language) speech is manipulated, such as pausing behaviour, speech rate,
and the use of filled pauses such as "uhm"'s. This project has a clear
applied linguistic focus, because for the purpose of second language
testing it is crucial to have a good understanding of fluency perception
and the judgment of fluency. We are looking for an ambitious student who is
willing and able to work in a closely collaborating team.
Candidates must hold an MA in (applied) linguistics or psycholinguistics,
must have experience with the analysis of speech, and have outstanding
proficiency in Dutch and English. Candidates are experienced in
experimental research, preferably in conducting listening experiments.
Experience in statistics and proven affinity with research on second
language proficiency are recommendations. The candidate must have an MA
degree in hand one month prior to the starting date.
Goal:
The PhD project involves training in research and completion of a PhD
dissertation within 3 (maximally 3.5) years with 1.0 FTE. As part of
her/his training, the PhD student will take courses offered by the National
Graduate School in Linguistics (LOT).

references (or contact details of two referees), an MA thesis, and a list
of academic courses including results.
