DESCRIPTION:We are delighted to announce a one-day workshop on Neural Syst
 ems for Speech Communication to be held at the Department of Theoretical a
 nd Applied Linguistics\, University of Cambridge\, UK\, on the 26th June 2
 012. The focus of the workshop is on representations and neural mechanisms
  for segmentation\, abstraction\, and categorisation in speech processing.
 \n\nThe workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussion between res
 earchers who approach the neurocognitive processing of suprasegmental and 
 segmental information in speech from different intellectual contexts (nota
 bly linguistics\, audition\, language psychology\, and cognitive neuroscie
 nce)\, and with different methodologies. \n\n* Workshop format \n\nA numbe
 r of key papers will explore the theme of the workshop from different angl
 es\, complemented by poster presentations that add breadth or depth to the
  discussion. The presentations will be followed by a panel discussion with
  the invited speakers and the audience towards the end of the day. The dis
 cussion will explore commonalities and differences in theoretical and meth
 odological approaches and their findings\, trying to work towards a synthe
 sis.\n\n* Call for papers\n\nAbstract submission deadline: 21 May 2012\n\n
 We invite papers which address the theme of the workshop:\n• Abstracts s
 hould be uploaded on or before 21 May 2012 to: http://linguistlist.org/con

 ngle-spaced\, and with a font size of 12pt. \n• Your abstract should be 
 anonymous. You will be asked to submit a version with your name and affili
 ation on it if your abstract is selected for presentation. Please make sur
 e that you do not use your name in the filename for your abstract\, and pl
 ease erase any details which might identify you in the file that you submi
 t. Use one word from your abstract's title as the filename.\n• If you ne

 nload.\n\nAbstracts will be considered for oral or poster presentations\, 
 but please note that only very few slots are available for oral presentati
 on. If you wish your abstract to be considered for poster presentation onl
 y\, please indicate this when submitting your abstract. Oral presentations
