Aix en Provence (France), 6-9 September 2016
The Aix Summer School on Prosody 2016 will bring together experts on theoretical and practical aspects of the research on prosody. The school will be organized around morning lectures and afternoon tutorials (where participants will practice concepts and skills discussed in lectures) and data clinics (where participants can bring together their own data and questions for discussion).
Topics included:
The school is intended for graduate students and researchers interested in all the theoretical and practical aspects of the research on prosody and intonation. The school will be suitable both for researchers already working on intonation and prosody, and wishing to learn more about specific topics, and for researchers who wish to better understand how to incorporate and control prosody in their own work.
Invited speakers:
Sara Bögels (MPI for Psycholinguistics)
Francesco Cangemi (University of Cologne)
Laura Dilley (Michigan State University)
Janet Fletcher (The University of Melbourne)
Kiwako Ito (Ohio State University)
Jelena Krivokapić (University of Michigan)
Oliver Niebuhr (University of Southern Denmark)
Cristel Portes (Aix-Marseille University)
Annie Tremblay (Kansas University)
