This workshop will bring experts and students together to investigate innovations in understanding the structure of words and the basic principles that enable speaking using the theory of Articulatory Phonology. This theory, unlike most linguistic theories, incorporates time as an inherent part of the elements that make up words (consonants and vowels). Theoretical testing has resulted in new and insightful interpretations of phenomena. This project examines accomplishments and theoretical directions, because symbolic treatments of phonology (which have sequencing but not time) are in a state of flux. Many have begun adding elements like those used in Articulatory Phonology, but those implementations miss critical theoretical elements. Further, measures that result in the kinds of data that the theory depends on, such as measurements of tongue movement, have become easier to use and more widely used. The workshop will include theoretical presentations with promising directions discussed. Outcomes will include innovative experimental plans and scientific dissemination, as well as deeper understanding of sounds of speech which could inform technological advances in communication.Understanding the basis of phonology, which allows us to have an unlimited number of words, is important to theoretical linguistics, to the documentation of endangered languages, and to the remediation of speech impairments. Despite the progress modern linguists have made in understanding the sounds of speech, there are still issues that resist analysis. The variable changes that take place as a speaker speaks more quickly are continuous in nature, but symbolic representations struggle to accommodate such results. Vowel and consonant harmony, in which features of one vowel (or consonant) affect the realization of another in the same word, have been incompletely accounted for in previous phonologies, despite the sizable number of languages that exhibit harmony. For endangered languages, preparing material that will be of use to descendants and the larger community who want to revive the language has become increasingly important. Because symbolic descriptions leave out a great deal of detail, they are not ideally suited to this purpose. The theoretical account of Articulatory Phonology, along with the physiological records that would be collected in generating an account, could provide a better platform for revitalization. Many speech disorders are considered "phonological", but the theory that underlies the procedures in speech pathology is not always fully articulated. Reexamination of the basic units, such as comparing phonemes to articulatory gestures, holds promise of further improvement in remediation. This workshop will provide evidence for many of these issues.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

本次研讨会将专家和学生聚集在一起，研究理解单词结构的创新和使用发音音韵学理论说话的基本原则。 与大多数语言学理论不同，这个理论将时间作为组成单词（辅音和元音）的元素的固有部分。 理论测试导致了对现象的新的和有见地的解释。 这个项目检查的成就和理论方向，因为音韵学的符号处理（有顺序，但没有时间）是在一个不断变化的状态。 许多人已经开始添加像发音音韵学中使用的元素，但这些实现缺少关键的理论元素。此外，导致该理论所依赖的数据类型的测量，例如舌头运动的测量，已经变得更容易使用和更广泛地使用。 研讨会将包括理论演示，并讨论有前途的方向。 成果将包括创新的实验计划和科学传播，以及对语音的更深入理解，这可能会为交流技术的进步提供信息。了解音位学的基础，使我们能够拥有无限数量的单词，对于理论语言学，濒危语言的文献记录以及言语障碍的补救都很重要。 尽管现代语言学家在理解语音方面取得了进步，但仍然有一些问题无法分析。 当说话者说话更快时，所发生的可变变化本质上是连续的，但符号表征很难适应这种结果。 元音和辅音的和谐，其中一个元音（或辅音）的特征影响同一个词中另一个元音（或辅音）的实现，在以前的音系学中没有完全解释，尽管有相当数量的语言表现出和谐。 对于濒危语言来说，准备对后代和希望复兴该语言的更大社区有用的材料变得越来越重要。 因为符号描述遗漏了大量的细节，所以它们并不理想地适合于这一目的。 发音音系学的理论解释，沿着在生成解释时收集的生理记录，可以为复兴提供一个更好的平台。 许多言语障碍被认为是“语音”，但理论的基础程序在言语病理学并不总是完全阐明。 重新检查基本单元，如比较音素发音手势，有望进一步改善补救。 该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
