3-3-26 (2016-03-21) Seminary Fluency, disfluencies and stuttering, Paul-Valery University, Montpellier, France
Seminary Fluency, disfluencies and stuttering The word fluency has its origins in Latin fluere which means 'to flow'. In speech research, it designs the speaker’s ability to produce a linguistic message quickly and efficiently. When talking about fluency, it is important to notice that it is not absolute since a certain number of disfluencies are produced by every speaker. However, when disfluencies become too numerous, they can be a sign of a more important trouble, such as stuttering. Stuttering is a speech motor disorder characterized by ruptures in speech fluency. While its origins remain uncertain, numerous scientific researches made in last few years have changed the knowledge of stuttering, particularly in genetics and neurology. The seminary Fluency, disfluencies and stuttering intends to disclose innovative studies on question related to normal and pathological alteration of the speech rhythm. Researchers in phonetics, phoniatrics, neurosciences, psychology and speech therapy will be present in Montpellier for this multidisciplinary seminary. Location: Camproux Hall, Paul-Valery University, Montpellier, France Date: 21st March, 2016 Planning committee: Christelle Dodane, Camille Fauth, Fabrice Hirsch, Ivana Didirkova, Melissa Barkat-Defradas, Jacqueline Bru, Ľubomíra Štenclová.
