Call for submissions
We invite submissions presenting new research on any topic related to higher-order structure in phonetic / phonological variation or on the connection between structured talker variation and speech perception, including:

• Empirical findings, from laboratory speech or spoken corpora, demonstrating strong covariation of phonetic or phonological patterns across talkers (e.g., Nearey, 1978; Theodore et al., 2009)


• Anatomical, sociolinguistic, and language-internal accounts of structured talker variation in speech (e.g., Peterson and Barney, 1952; Whiteside & Irving, 1998)


• Behavioral evidence bearing on perceptual adaptation to novel talkers, and especially on generalization (or convincing failures to generalize) from one talker-specific speech property to other properties (e.g., Nielsen, 2011; Reinisch & Holt, 2013)


• Explicit models of speech perception that address talker variability in their representations or computational processes (e.g., Lee & Rose, 1996; McMurray & Jongman, 2011)

This list is not exhaustive! Please contact us if you are wondering whether your research is appropriate for the workshop. Submission format, date, and contact info is back here
