The Laboratory Phonology (Labphon) Conference series brings together a community of scholars who use experimental and quantitative measures to study the how the sound structure of human language is represented in the mind and in the brain. Laboratory Phonology transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries. Though firmly rooted in the field of linguistics, the conference has attracted active participants from diverse fields including electrical engineering, psychology, speech and hearing sciences, and anthropology. Its scholarly impact extends even more broadly to disciplines like communication studies, speech-language pathology, and sociology. Each of the ten previous Labphon conferences has culminated in the publication of an edited volume. The Laboratory Phonology book series includes numerous widely cited papers, some of which are regarded as classics in the fields of phonetics and phonology. Many young investigators who have presented at previous Labphon conferences have gone on to have very successful academic and professional careers studying spoken language. In 2008, Labphon will be held for the first time outside of the United States or Europe, in Wellington, New Zealand. This grant will provide travel support for ten early-career scholars, including students, to attend the Eleventh Conference on Laboratory Phonology. Travel grant applications will be evaluated by a committee of early-career investigators from the Ohio State University, New York University, Northwestern University, University of Oregon, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Minnesota, and the two Labphon Eleven host universities, the University of Wellington and Canterbury University. They will be administered by the University of Minnesota. National Science Foundation support of young-investigator travel to Labphon Eleven is a tangible investment in the future research and scholarly endeavors of the ten travel-grant recipients. This support will further increase the visibility and prominence of research in spoken language across disciplines, and will increase the visibility of US research to a global audience.

实验室语音学(Labphon)会议系列汇集了一群学者，他们使用实验和定量方法来研究人类语言的声音结构是如何在大脑和大脑中表现出来的。实验室音系学超越了传统的学科界限。尽管扎根于语言学领域，这次会议吸引了来自电气工程、心理学、言语和听觉科学以及人类学等不同领域的积极参与者。它的学术影响甚至扩展到更广泛的学科，如传播学、言语语言病理学和社会学。在之前的十次Labphon会议中，每一次都以出版编辑过的卷为高潮。《实验室语音学》丛书收录了大量被广泛引用的论文，其中一些被认为是语音学和音系学领域的经典著作。许多在以前的Labphon会议上发言的年轻研究人员都在研究口语的学术和专业生涯中取得了非常成功的成就。2008年，Labphon将首次在美国或欧洲以外的新西兰惠灵顿举行。这笔补助金将为包括学生在内的10名早期学者提供旅费，以参加第11届实验室音系学会议。旅行补助申请将由来自俄亥俄州立大学、纽约大学、西北大学、俄勒冈大学、麻省理工学院、明尼苏达大学以及两所Labphon 11主办大学惠灵顿大学和坎特伯雷大学的早期调查人员组成的委员会进行评估。它们将由明尼苏达大学管理。国家科学基金会支持年轻研究人员前往Labphon 11号，这是对十名旅行补助金获得者未来研究和学术努力的一项有形投资。这一支持将进一步提高跨学科口语研究的知名度和显着性，并将提高美国研究对全球受众的可见度。
