Phonology and Dyslexia

About

We are excited to announce the first interdisciplinary workshop on Phonology and Dyslexia that will be part of the Old World Conference on Phonology (OCP19). Here the neuro-cognitive study of Dyslexia will join forces with theoretical Phonology to address questions in the core of both disciplines:

- What aspects of phonological representations are affected in dyslexia?
- Can theoretical phonology provide experimental work with more fine-grained and theoretically motivated measures?
- How can theoretical phonology handle individual diverse or ‘unstable’ phonological representations?

What will the workshop include?

The workshop will feature a full day scientific programme, split into two parts - morning and afternoon - broken down by lunch and coffee breaks. Each session includes Slide Presentations from speakers with diverse scientific backgrounds, followed by a Keynote address and a Poster session.

We are planning for a hybrid conference: presentations are planned to be in person - but we will be streaming all lectures live and collecting questions in real time.
