This collection of papers from Eighth Conference on Laboratory
Phonology (held in New Haven, CT) explores what laboratory data
that can tell us about the nature of speakers' phonological
competence and how they acquire it, and outlines models of the
human phonological capacity that can meet the challenge of
formalizing that competence. The window on the phonological
capacity is broadened by including, for the first time in the
Laboratory Phonology series, work on signed languages and papers
that explicitly compare signed and spoken phonologies. A major
focus, cutting across signed and spoken phonologies, is that
phonological competence must include both qualitative (or
categorical) and quantitative (or variable) knowledge. Theoretical
approaches represented in the collection for accommodating these
types of knowledge include modularity, dynamical grammars, and
probabilistic grammars. A second major focus is on the acquisition
of this knowledge. Here the papers pursue the consequences for
acquisition of taking into account the richness and variability of
the adult systems that provide input to the child. The final focus
is on how phonological knowledge guides speech production. Data and
models address the question of how speech gestures interact with
one another locally (through articulatory constraints and
syllable-level organization) and how they interact with the
prosodic structure of an utterance. The twenty-six papers in the
collection include invited contributions from Diane Brentari, David
Corina, David Perlmutter, D. Robert Ladd, Diamandis Gafos, Marilyn
Vihman, Shelley Velleman, Stefanie Shattuck-Hufnagel, and Dani
Byrd.
