The 11th scientific conference with international participation

Speech Research (SR 2022)

8 – 10 December 2022, Zagreb, Croatia

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the 11th scientific conference with international participation Speech research. The conference will be held at the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Zagreb, from the 8th until the 10th of December 2022. Speech Research is a Croatian scientific conference with international participation which allows the presentation of new scientific research and knowledge in the field of phonetics. Phonetic sciences are interdisciplinary by nature, so the conference provides an opportunity to gather experts and researchers from different disciplines. The main topic of this year’s conference is the Verbotonal method in rehabilitation and speech correction in native and foreign language. Within the general phonetics clinical phonetics is especially highlighted. Papers covering other speech-related topics are equally welcome.

Topics

Topics from all areas of phonetic and speech sciences are equally welcome, while two specific topics are highlightened for this iteration of Speech research:

1. Verbotonal method in rehabilitation and phonetic speech correction

Listening as the basis of good speech in both native and foreign language is one the main presumptions of the Verbotonal method. One of the first scholars who defined similarities in deviations in non-native speech and in speech in people with hearing impairments and listening problems was Petar Guberina. Some of the questions that arise within this topic and are relevant even 70 years after Guberina’s book Sound and movement in language are what in perception directly influences speech production, how it shows in speech in people with atypical hearing and listening, what is connection of speech and movement, how much rhythm and intonation influence speech acquisition, what are the difficulties in working with clients directly, how to evaluate clients’ progress qualitatively and quantitatively etc.

  • This topic includes, but it is not exhausted by the following:
  • atypical speech perception
  • variability of typical and atypical speech
  • interdisciplinary approach to hearing, listening and speech rehabilitation
  • individual and group treatment of speech and hearing
  • specific procedures in hearing, listening and speech rehabilitation
  • teaching and acquisition of pronunciation in foreign language
2. Clinical phonetics

Clinical phonetics involves the application of phonetic techniques and procedures in the study of communication impairments, as well as the use of clinical data to address open issues in theoretical phonetics. We therefore welcome papers addressing all aspects of atypical speech.
