Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The past two decades have seen great advances in phonetic, auditory, and psycholinguistic research on speech perception. As the fields have advanced, there has been increasing interdisciplinary collaboration across them, which has in turn revealed their interdependence. The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together top scholars in these three related areas to present research in a single volume with papers ranging from the neurophysiology of hearing, to phonetic and linguistic factors, to factors related to hearing loss and assistive devices, second language learning and accentedness, and the processing of speech and the mental lexicon. We seek cutting-edge primary research on topics related to speech perception, including prosody, reduced linguistic variants, regional accents, language development, second language learning, neurophysiology and brain function, sociolinguistics, hearing loss, hearing aids and cochlear implants, listening context, unit predictability, lexical factors, and perceptual modeling.
