    Today we have several events that we would like to inform you about:

    1. There will be a guest lecture as part of the Research Forum of the Graduate School Empirical and Applied Linguistics:
    Prof. Dr. Peter Hagoort (Radboud University Nijmegen): "Windows into the language ready brain"
    Monday, 03 June 2024, 4-6 pm in the Aegidiistrasse 5, room AE 11.

    Short biography
    Peter Hagoort is emeritus director of the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics and the founding director of the Donders Centre for Cognitive Neuroimaging. He is professor in cognitive neuroscience at the Radboud University Nijmegen. His research interests relate to the human language faculty and how it is instantiated in the brain.

    Abstract
    In the course of evolution homo sapiens has been equipped with a brain that enables communication through natural language. This complex language faculty has been cobbled together out of systems for processing sound, sequences and symbols. I will discuss the multitude of brain networks supporting our language skills. I will show the dynamics of language processing, and forms of neural plasticity to adapt to requirements of different languages. Finally, I will argue that for language and communication interaction with other cognitive systems is required.
     

    2. As part of the lecture series organised by the research project "Dialektatlas Mittleres Westdeutschland (DMW)", a series of lectures on "Challenges in dealing with dialectal/regiolectal variation in language atlas projects", two lectures will take place this semester.
    Both lectures can be attended digitally:

    The Graduate School Empirical and Applied Linguistics would like to welcome you to the summer semester 2024! As always, we would be delighted if you would like to advertise events via the LiM list. Simply send an e-mail to this address with the desired announcement and any attachments.

    I can already announce the first guest lecture, which will take place as part of the GSeal research forum:

    Monday, 29 April 2024, 4 pm:

    Kyle Parrish (Goethe University Frankfurt): "A case for case studies in L3 research: a simulation of L3 VOT production"
    The lecture will take place at the Institute of Linguistics, Room AE 11, Aegidiistraße 5, 48143 Münster.


    Abstract: In the last few decades, there has been increasing discussion surrounding third language (L3) acquisition, in which a range of studies have been carried out across linguistic domains, including (morpho)syntax and phonetics and phonology. One key debate in the field surrounds whether the L3 is influenced in a wholesale fashion by either an L1 or L2 (Rothman, 2015), or whether it can be simultaneously influenced by both of these known languages (Westergaard et al., 2017). While both of these views have received empirical support, it is unclear whether studies supporting whole language transfer have had sufficient statistical power to detect (likely) relevant effects, given their relatively low numbers of participants. The statistical power of a study refers to the probability that an effect (which actually exists) is detected. Any given effect (such as a mean difference) is more difficult to detect when there is greater variation in a data set. This variation can come from at least three sources: the variation caused by sampling of different experimental items, the variation caused by sampling random participants from an underlying population, and random error. Using simulation, and VOT as a hypothetical outcome variable, the present work systematically manipulates the number and variation in participants and items, while taking random error into account, in order to make specific recommendations for necessary and numbers of participants and stimuli on the basis the proportion of the expected variation relative to a given effect. Ultimately, It is argued that low sample or case studies could be an advantageous avenue for L3 studies to consider, since it removes the factor of individual variation from the equation.

    We are pleased to invite you to a guest lecture at the Institute for Linguistics:

    29.01.23, 4 pm:

    Constantijn Kaland (University of Cologne): "Contour clustering as a solid start for intonation analyses."
    The lecture will take place in the Institute for Linguistics, Room AE 11, Aegidiistraße 5, 48143 Münster.

    Abstract:
    "It is a challenge to understand the form-meaning relationship in f0
    contours. Traditional (auto-segmental metrical) analyses are not
    seldomly applied to highly stylized laboratory speech, which leaves a
    gap in explaining f0 movements found in more naturalistic speech and
    often requires (learning) an annotation system. This also provides a
    threshold to do intonation analysis on underdescribed languages. The
    present demonstration proposes an exploratory workflow with the same aim
    of finding prototypical - i.e. phonologically underlying - contours. The
    approach is suitable for field recordings of any type and essentially
    requires only segmentation (additional annotation is helpful, though).
    The tool performs cluster analysis on time-series f0 data and provides
    the user with multiple ways of finding the optimal number of clusters.
    There are no principled restrictions to the language, the amounts of
    data, or the speech unit under investigation to obtain sensible results.
    Although more analysis is needed to come to phonological descriptions,
    contour clustering offers a fully data-driven and reproducible basis for
    further hypothesizing and testing in production and perception tasks."
