Conference on Laboratory Phonology page: Variation,
Detail and Representation
Welcome to the 9th
Conference on Laboratory Phonology
LabPhon is an international forum for interdisciplinary research on the sound structure of languages. Participants in LabPhon seek to communicate across the traditional boundaries that separate phonology, as a branch of theoretical linguistics, from the study of speech production, speech perception, spoken language acquisition, computer speech processing, and other disciplines concerned with human speech.
The theme for LabPhon 9, Change in Phonology, addresses questions related to the evolution of language within a speech community and the development of language within the individual speaker/hearer, and includes issues of broad social interest, such as child language development, language pedagogy, and technologies for human-computer interaction. |
