LabPhon16: Variation, development and impairment: Between phonetics and
phonology

Variation, development and impairment are intertwined key dimensions for our understanding of language in general, and of phonetics and phonology in particular. Variation occurs across languages and within languages, at every level of sound (and other linguistic) structures, and is arguably not random (e.g., system-related, message-related, speaker-related, climatic-related). It plays a role in sound change, it challenges the task of acquiring a language
and of language learning in general (how the relevant units are identified and their form-meaning functions established), and it poses interesting questions in drawing the lines between typical phonological development and impairments.

Invited Speakers:

Len Abbeduto (UC Davis MIND Institute)
Catherine Best (Western Sydney University)
Anne Christophe (ENS – Research University Paris)

Speech in the Natural Context - Models and Methods for the Analysis of Speech Under Real Communicative Conditions

The aim of the conference is to offer an opportunity to discuss how to integrate all the different components of the speech signal as produced under real communicative conditions, and the many dimensions of the communicative situation.

Invited Speakers:

- Khalil Iskarous, University of Southern California
- Tanja Schultz, University of Bremen

Call for Papers: 

We invite contributions that discuss the influence of real communicative conditions on the production and perception of speech, on the (re)elaboration of theories of speech communication, on the implementation of applications for situated interaction, and on the resolution of real-world problems. In this respect, dimensions of particular concern are:

- Dialogical interaction: humans speak with others to communicate linguistic meanings and influence behaviors, opinions and emotional states within the boundaries of the conversational structure
- Signal plurality: the acoustic signal is only one of many in a complex modular semiotic system aimed at transmitting information
- Dynamicity of signals: acoustic and physiological signals are organized and coordinated with each other in both time and space
- Physical environment: the communication takes place in physical settings that influence transmission quality.

Possible topics include, but are not limited to, the
following:

- The phonetic dimension of spoken interaction and its effects on
communication
- The environmental dimension of spoken interaction and its effects on communication (e.g. co-presence of speakers and visual accessibility, noise, temperature, humidity, etc.)
- The dynamical dimension of the signal (e.g. dynamic models of speech analysis, speech recognition models, etc.)
- Integration of acoustic and physiological signals in human and non-human communication for the interpretation of human and non-human communication
- Integration and interpretation of phonetic and non-phonetic signals for the profiling of the speaker
- Integration and interpretation of phonetic and non-phonetic signals for the automatic speech synthesis and recognition
- Integration of signals in the interfaces for vocal interaction.

Abstracts should be written in English or Italian, and should be restricted to 4000 characters (including spaces) and two pages in A4 format, including graphs and references. 

Find detailed instruction for submission on the conference website
(https://aisv2018.events.unibz.it/)

Emptiness in Phonological Theory, October 6, Paris,France.

This symposium will be devoted to the many-faceted issue of emptiness. It will have two parts. 

- In the morning, a tutorial on the topic will be given by Eva Zimmermann and Sabrina Bendjaballah. 

- In the afternoon, there will be a session of “make a claim and defend it” about this topic. 

Among the theoretical questions related to emptiness are

- Does zero equal emptiness, or does the latter always concern a position? 
- Is zero a grammatical object distinct from the absence of a grammatical object?
- What is the relation between emptiness and non-specification, or other aspects of defectiveness?
- What determines whether an empty/unspecified position/object will require filling/identification, or instead may remain with no direct realization?
- Which phonological objects can be empty, and which cannot, and what are the consequences for phonological theory?
- How are empty objects learned?
- Is the contrast between an object and zero different from the contrast between two non-null objects?
- How can phonologically-driven paradigmatic gaps be modeled? 


Anonymous one-page abstracts (12p., not including references) should be submitted to pta(at)cnrs.fr before September 1. 
Notifications of acceptance will be sent by September 8.

Three job offers at Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie, Paris, France: 1phD and 2 postdocs

In the context of the MoSpeeDi project, funded by the FNS and run in collaboration with the University of Geneva, the HUG and IDIAP, the Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie* (LPP – CNRS/Sorbonne Nouvelle) in Paris is offering 3 positions (1 phD and 2 postdocs) starting November 2017 or later.

The general goal of the project is to better understand the processes and representations at play during speech production, focusing on the latest stages of the process where an encoded linguistic message is transformed into articulated speech. At the interface between linguistic and motor processes, these stages are also associated with different breakdowns considered as Speech Motor Disorders (dysarthria and apraxia of speech).

Articulatory, acoustic and speech behaviour data will be experimentally collected and analysed for both healthy speakers and speakers with speech motor disorders in order to (a) improve the characterization of phonetic speech planning and motor speech programming, (b) to identify phonetic and speech behavior markers of these processes, and (c) to better isolate and classify speech alterations in speech motor disorders. 
 
Within this Swiss-French collaborative project, the LPP is recruiting 1 doctoral student and 2 post-docs to join the team under the supervision of Cécile Fougeron (DR CNRS) and in close collaboration with Simone Falk (MC Sorbonne Nouvelle), and Leonardo Lancia (CR CNRS). See job description and application procedure below.
 
Contact: cecile.fougeron AT univ-paris3.fr

The Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie (LPP) is a joint CNRS and Université Sorbonne Nouvelle structure.  It is located in the center of Paris (19 rue des Bernardins, 7500 Paris). More information on http://lpp.in2p3.fr/Presentation-du-LPP

JOB DESCRIPTIONS:

1) Postdoc in phonetics / engineering for 2 years (starting Nov 2017 or later)
The candidate will be in charge of:
-       Developing/adapting a portable experimental system for recording minimal articulatory data in  a large group of speakers (including speakers with speech disorders).
-       Contributing  to the testing the portable system against data acquired with more complex acquisition systems (EMA) and acoustic measurements
-       Preparing and conducting experiments involving perturbation conditions testing the integrity/flexibility of speech units, their variability according to their structural/motor complexity and their frequency.
-       Data processing /statistical analysis

Required skills:
Applicants should hold a PhD in Linguistics, Speech Engineering, Cognitive Sciences  or related disciplines  (equivalent diploma to be discussed)
 
-       Experience with articulatory data acquisition systems and multiple source synchronization
-       Advanced programming skills (required: Matlab, Python or R; C/C++ and Labview are a plus)

Please clearly indicate the position you are applying to.

2) Postdoc in phonetics for 1 year (starting Nov 2017 or later)
The candidate will be in charge of experiments focusing on the specificity of the production of speech as compared to other non-speech skilled movements. Acoustic data from speakers with different Motor Speech Disorders will be compared to healthy speakers.
 
Required skills:
-       Experience with acoustic analysis
-       Good knowledge of models of speech production and motor control, and/or speech motor disorders.
