The conference aims to discuss, in an informal atmosphere, empirical and theoretical questions about aspects of individual and social variation in speech, such as (but not limited to):
- How can the speaker manipulate the spectrum of biologically determined articulatory options to vary her/his speech style according to social, communicative-interactional, and emotional needs?
- What are the social uses of dialects? How many ‘dialects’ and how many ‘styles’ can be owned and used by the individual in speech communication? What role is played by speech variation in the contemporary dynamics of standard vs. non-standard languages and in the diffusion of sound change?
- Are the instruments currently used in experimental phonetics sensitive enough to detect variation in its inter-individual, social, and communicative dimensions? What contribution can be provided by technological innovations in the articulatory domain and by new techniques of socio-perceptual analysis?
Following the tradition of AISV conferences, the programme will also include open sessions on any aspect of speech science research.
The languages of the conference are Italian and English. Power Point presentations and posters should be written in English.
