[PLing] WSG: Volenec, "Cognitive Phonetics: A Theory of Phonetic Implementation", 14. 12. (online)

[Laura Grestenberger]

Liebe PLing-Mitglieder,

Ich möchte Euch/Sie gerne nochmals zum nächsten Vortrag der Wiener 
Sprachgesellschaft einladen, der morgen (14. 12.) online stattfindet. 
Veno Volenec (Department of Classics, Modern Languages and Linguistics, 
Concordia University, Montréal) spricht über "Cognitive Phonetics: A 
Theory of Phonetic Implementation". Die Ankündigung befindet sich im 
Anhang.

Abstract: The talk discusses Cognitive Phonetics (CP), a neurolinguistic 
theory of phonetic implementation that is assumed to take place at the 
phonology–phonetics interface. Built on the foundation of substance-free 
generative phonology, CP proposes that the outputs of phonological 
grammar, surface phonological representations encoded in terms of 
features, are transduced (converted) into neuromuscular schemas that are 
legible to the primary motor cortex, which executes articulatory 
movements. CP’s proposed transduction is carried out via two operations: 
(1) the paradigmatic transduction algorithm (PTA) assigns motor programs 
to each feature, taking into account the specification of all features 
from every individual segment; (2) the syntagmatic transduction 
algorithm (STA) coordinates those motor programs in real time, taking 
into account the specification of features from adjacent segments. The 
main empirical consequence of CP’s transduction algorithms is their 
ability to elegantly account for both intra-segmental and 
inter-segmental coarticulation, as this talk shows on various examples. 
The talk also explores the neurobiological correlates that underlie 
phonetic implementation in CP, emphasizing the important roles of the 
insula, the basal ganglia and the cerebellum in speech production.
