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

人类语言是一个复杂的规则系统，它将声音、单词和意义结合在一起。纵观目前使用的约6,000种语言的语言系统，可以发现许多差异，但也有许多相似之处。语言学领域关注的是描述世界语言中存在的可能和不可能的系统，为人类认知提供了一个窗口。典型和障碍儿童的言语是探索语言系统告诉我们关于人类思维的内容的丰富领域，因为它们向我们展示了这些系统如何发展以及如何崩溃。反过来，了解语言系统的正式机制是有用的发展有效的干预措施，为儿童和成年人表现出言语disorders.The当前研讨会的总体目标是打开音韵学（语言学的子领域）和沟通障碍的领域之间的智力对话，并扩大当前研究生的学术就业前景。该研讨会与2017年语音学年会相结合，该年会由语言学系和传播科学与疾病系共同在纽约大学主办。会议定期吸引一大群语音学家聚集在一起，研讨会将鼓励参与和语音障碍相关研究的可见性。该研讨会包括（i）Adam Buchwald（纽约大学）的特邀演讲，（ii）与言语障碍和音位学相关的演讲和海报会议，（iii）Doug Whalen（纽约市立大学研究生中心）的超声成像和生物反馈教程，（iv）关于语言学和言语障碍之间接口的研究和职业道路的研究生小组讨论和混合器。讲习班活动已纳入会议的正常日程，以鼓励所有与会者出席会议。这一选择将最大限度地提高研讨会的影响，并强调临床数据可以感兴趣的所有音韵学家。

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.
