*** Workshop “Speech production models and empirical evidence from typical and pathological speech” ***

We are pleased to announce the workshop “Speech production models and empirical evidence from typical and pathological speech” which will take place on Monday the 13^th of May 2024 in Grenoble from 10 AM to 4 PM. 

The workshop is organized in the context of the ChaSpeePro Sinergia FNS project and is aimed at debating, in a convivial and constructive atmosphere, theoretical positions and empirical evidence from both typical and pathological speech on three major questions: 

1. Planning/programming/execution or phonological/phonetic/motor encoding (or other encoding/computing distinctions): How to define the different processes in (motor) speech production?
2. Encoding units/representations in speech production models: Which ones, how many different units, and how are they selected and combined in larger units?
3. How are different speech modulations (whispered, loud, fast, clear, …) encoded/parametrized for production?

The day will be organized with four talks in the morning and round tables in the afternoon to debate these questions. We are happy to announce the following invited participants:

Morning talks:

              Frank Guenther, Boston University
              Ben Parrell, University of Wisconsin-Madison
              Antje Mefferd, Vanderbilt University

              Marina Laganaro, Cécile Fougeron & ChaSpeePro Team
