Bridging the gap between phonological theory and speech disorders
This year’s AMP features an integrated workshop, supported by the National Science Foundation (BCS-1651065), on the interface between phonology and speech disorders. The overarching goal of the workshop is to open up intellectual dialogue between the fields of communication disorders and phonology, and to broaden the prospects for academic employment for current graduate students. For linguists, data from speech and language disorders can provide a unique insight into the structure of the human language faculty and a window into the developmental trajectory of speech and language acquisition. For practitioners in speech-language pathology, a deeper understanding of linguistic theory can enhance the capacity to diagnose and treat communication disorders.
Below are all the events, talks, and posters associated with the workshop.
Friday, September 15
| Tutorial session 10 Washington Place, 104 |

| 11:00 – 12:00 | Ultrasound Biofeedback Doug Whalen (The Graduate Center, CUNY) & Tara McAllister (New York University) This tutorial is part of the workshop “Bridging the gap between phonological theory and speech disorders.” Doug Whalen will provide an overview of current technologies and methods for ultrasound imaging for speech. Tara McAllister will discuss the use of ultrasound biofeedback to study speech learning in both typical speakers and individuals with speech disorders. |
