Workshop: Bridging the gap between phonological theory and research in speech disorders

人类语言是将声音、单词和意义组合在一起的复杂的规则系统。观察目前使用的约6,000种语言的语言系统，会发现许多不同之处，但也有许多相似之处。语言学领域致力于描述世界语言中存在的可能和不可能的系统，为人们提供了解人类认知的窗口。典型和障碍儿童的语言是一个丰富的领域，可以探索语言系统告诉我们关于人类思维的什么，因为它们向我们展示了这些系统是如何发展的，以及它们是如何崩溃的。反过来，理解语言系统的形式机制有助于为表现为言语障碍的儿童和成人制定有效的干预措施。本次研讨会的总体目标是在音系学(语言学的一个子领域)和交际障碍领域之间展开智力对话，并拓宽当前研究生的学术就业前景。该研讨会与2017年语音学年会整合在一起，该年会由纽约大学语言学系和传播科学与疾病学系联合主办。会议定期吸引一大批音韵学家聚集在一起，研讨会将鼓励言语障碍相关研究的参与和知名度。研讨会包括(I)Adam Buchwald(纽约大学)的特邀演讲，(Ii)关于言语障碍和音韵学的演讲和海报，(Iii)Doug Whalen(纽约州立大学研究生中心)关于超声成像和生物反馈的教程，(Iv)为研究生举办的关于语言学和言语障碍之间的研究和职业道路的小组讨论和混合会。讲习班活动纳入了会议的常规日程，以鼓励所有与会者参加会议。这一选择将最大限度地发挥研讨会的影响，并强调临床数据可能会引起所有音素专家的兴趣。

Human languages are complex systems of rules for combining sounds, words, and meanings. Looking at linguistic systems across the ~6,000 languages currently spoken reveals numerous differences, but also many similarities. The field of linguistics is concerned with describing the possible and impossible systems that exist in the world's languages, providing a window into human cognition. The speech of typical and disordered children is a rich domain for exploring what linguistic systems tell us about the human mind, as they show us how these systems develop and how they can break down. In turn, understanding the formal mechanics of linguistic systems is useful to developing effective interventions for children and adults exhibiting speech disorders.The overarching goal of the current workshop is to open up intellectual dialogue between the fields of phonology (a sub-field of linguistics) and communication disorders and to broaden the prospects for academic employment for current graduate students. The workshop is integrated with the Annual Meeting on Phonology 2017, which is being hosted at New York University jointly between the Department of Linguistics and the Department of Communicative Sciences and Disorders. The conference regularly draws a large group of phonologists together, and the workshop will encourage participation and visibility for related research in speech disorders. The workshop consists of (i) an invited talk by Adam Buchwald (NYU), (ii) a session of talks and posters related to speech disorders and phonology, (iii) a tutorial on ultrasound imaging and biofeedback by Doug Whalen (The Graduate Center, CUNY), (iv) a panel discussion and mixer for graduate students on research and career paths at the interface between linguistics and speech disorders. The workshop activities are integrated into the regular schedule of the conference, to encourage the attendance of all participants in the conference. This choice will maximize the impact of the workshop and emphasize that clinical data can be of interest to all phonologists.
