Toward Modelling the Development of Speech Planning in Production

Toward Modelling the Development of Speech Planning in Production

TOWARD MODELLING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPEECH PLANNING IN PRODUCTION

Thursday 1st – Friday 2nd August 2019

Child Language Lab
Macquarie University, Sydney 

Models of human speech production developed over the past few decades have been shaped by a number of sources of information, including linguistic theory, observational studies and experimental studies of both typical and atypical adult speakers.  But few studies have examined the developmental course of changes in the speech production process in children who are learning to talk. The goal of this workshop is therefore to bring together researchers working on models of speech production planning to explore methods suitable for testing hypotheses about the role of higher-level structure in these processes in both adults and children aged 2-12, with special focus on speech (and gestural) planning mechanisms during the course of language development.

This workshop is a satellite event of the 19th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences (ICPhS) which will take place at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre from 5th-9th August 2019.
