SUMMARY:Seeing speech: Ultrasound imaging in Linguistics - Dr. Jonanthan Havehill\, the University of Hong Kong
DESCRIPTION:Public workshop by Language Development Lab | HKU Linguistics \nFriday\, 2nd Nov\, 13:30 – 14:30 \n9.27 Run Run Shaw Tower\, Department of Linguistics \nSpeech is made up of sounds. Understanding how these sounds are created is an important part of linguistic science\, but a major obstacle in investigation speech production is that much of the process takes place inside the vocal tract\, invisible to the naked eye. Recently\, linguists studying speech sounds have begun to use ultrasound (or sonography) to look at the movement of the tongue during speech production. With the help of ultrasound\, we can see how the tongue is used to produce various speech sounds\, how sounds differ from person to person\, and how sounds differ between languages and dialects. \nThis workshop will be a practical introduction to the use of ultrasound for linguistic research. You’ll learn how an ultrasound experiment is run\, how to interpret ultrasound images of the tongue\, and some advantages and disadvantages of ultrasound tongue imaging. You’ll also have the opportunity to see the movement of your own tongue as you speak.

SUMMARY:The evolution of language as a neurobiological system: Current Progress and Implications - William Marslen-Wilson\, University of Cambridge
DESCRIPTION:Title: The evolution of language as a neurobiological system: Current Progress and Implications \nTime: Thursday 29 November\, 3.30pm \nPlace: Room 4.04\, Run Run Shaw Tower\, Centennial Campus\, University of Hong Kong \nAbstract:\nEvidence from neuro-imaging\, neuropsychological and behavioral studies points to a Dual Neurobiological Systems approach to human language and communication. Potentially human-specific capacities in the domain of combinatorial morphosyntax are primarily supported by a left-hemisphere frontal-temporal system. These operate in conjunction with a bihemispheric system largely based on capacities for conspecific communication that we hold in common with our nonhuman primate relatives. Placing these hypotheses in their palaeoanthropological context\, and adopting a gradualist\, multi-factorial approach to the emergence of language in the modern human\, the talk will examine emerging evidence for a range of language- and communication-relevant neurobiological capacities in our primate relatives (and the inferred Last Common Ancestor). These may shed light on the neurocomputational capacities underlying the role of the left-hemisphere subsystem\, and reveal the surprising degree of structural and functional commonality between the human and nonhuman primate systems that support conspecific communication in the complex social contexts typical of most primate species. Aspects of ‘biolinguistic’ hypotheses about language evolution will be evaluated as appropriate.
