Toward Modelling the Development of Speech Planning in Production

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 addressed the question of 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 the development of speech planning mechanisms during the course of language acquisition. Keynote speakers: Sónia Frota (Universidade de Lisboa), Bryan Gick (University of British Columbia), Lucie Ménard (Université du Québec à Montréal), Aditi Lahiri (University of Oxford).
