Workshop on Cross-Language Speech Perception, Tampa, Florida; May 1-4, 1992

跨语言言语感知研讨会将汇聚22名研究人员，他们目前正在进行4个领域的程序性研究：1)在第一语言习得过程中发展特定语言的感知模式，2)多语种儿童和成人的知觉，3)外语学习过程中的知觉变化，4)实验室中知觉的修正(知觉训练研究)。为期4天的研讨会将为高级研究人员和经验较少的研究人员提供一个深入讨论理论问题和方法问题的机会。演讲将包括：1)个人口头报告，2)关于广泛关注的主题的小组讨论，以及3)海报会议，研究生、博士后和知名研究人员可以在其中展示新的实验结果。观众将是感兴趣的教职员工和学生，包括受邀参与者的学生。在研讨会期间，与会者将完成出版专著的计划，其中将包括共同撰写的关于跨语言言语感知的最新数据、当前的理论观点、方法论问题以及未来研究方向的论文。研讨会的目的是：1)为深入交流关于跨语言演讲研究的“前沿”信息提供一个论坛；2)促进未来研究中的合作；3)提供一套“立场文件”，总结这一研究领域的知识状况。

ABSTRACT The Workshop on Cross-Language Speech Perception will bring together 22 investigators currently pursuing programmatic research in 4 areas: 1) development of language-specific patterns of perception during first language acquisition, 2) perception by multilingual children and adults, 3) perceptual changes during foreign language learning, 4) modification of perception in the laboratory (perceptual training studies). The 4-day workshop will provide an opportunity for intensive disucssions of theoretical issues and methodological problems among senior investigators and less experienced researchers. Presentations will include: 1) individual oral reports, 2) panel discussions on broad topics of concern, and 3) poster sessions in which graduate students, postdoctoral students and established researchers can present new experimental results. The audience will be interested faculty and students, including students of the invited participants. During the workshop, participants will complete plans for publication of a monograph which will include jointly-authoried papers on recent data on cross-language speech perception, current theoretical perspectives, methodological issues, and directions for future research. The objectives of the workshop are to: 1) provide a forum for in-depth exchange of "cutting edge" information on cross-language speech research, 2) facilitate collaboration in future research, and 3) provide a set of "position papers" which summarize the status of knowledge of this research area.
