Upcoming Meeting, 4/11/11: David Medeiros

Here's the description for the talk to be given  at our next Linguistics Club meeting! (on Monday 4/11/10 at 7:30):

"We examine the relationship between phonological representations and  
articulatory planning, pursuing the hypothesis that speech errors  
during the production of a tongue twister are due not to motoric  
difficulty, but occur when dynamic aspects of planned proximal  
gestures overlap and interfere. We find that speakers produce  
relatively few errors when producing novel tongue twisters and  
comparatively more speech errors during subsequent productions in a  
masked self-paced reading task. This is consistent with the view that  
speech errors in a tongue twister task cannot be solely attributed to  
articulatory factors and supports a cascading activation model of  
speech production."
