Workshop on L2 Phonetics & Phonology of L1 Romance Learners (L2PHROL). Turin, Italy.

16-17 November 2017

The University of Turin (Laboratorio Sperimentale di Fonetics ?Arturo Genre?) and the University of Paris 8 (Laboratoire Structures Formelles du Langage) are pleased to announce that the L2PHROL workshop (L2 Phonetics and Phonology of L1 Romance Learners) will be held in Turin (Italy) on 16-17 November 2017. The L2PHROL workshop is jointly organized by universities in France and Italy and aims at bringing together researchers working on the L2 phonetics and phonology of Romance L1 learners.


Topics of the workshop:

We welcome contributions focusing on Romance L1 learners of any L2, involving any of the following 5 broad themes:

1)      The acquisition of new phonological/phonetic/prosodic features in production and/or perception by speakers of a Romance L1, or by simultaneous bilinguals with at least one Romance language.

2)      Common characteristics and common difficulties encountered by Romance native speakers learning an L2, such as tense-lax vowel contrasts, glottal fricative /h/, aspirated stops, stress-timed rhythm, phonological vowel length, lexical tones, prosodic realisation of contrastive focus.

3)      Other phonetic characteristics of L2 speech by L1 Romance speakers.

4)      The validation of phonetic/phonological theories in the light of L2 data by speakers whose L1 is a Romance language, or by simultaneous bilinguals with at least one Romance language

5)      Teaching techniques or materials addressing L1 pronunciation and phonological awareness for Romance L1 learners of any L2.
