This conference, to be held in Providence, RI, in June, 2020, will bring experts and students together to explore the progress in new and innovative approaches to the measurement and analyses of the way in which speech is organized at the physical level. Iterations of the International Seminar on Speech Production (ISSP) have taken place at three or four year intervals for the past 31 years with the aim of providing an interdisciplinary forum for researchers working on all aspects of speech production from fields as diverse as phonology, phonetics, prosody, mechanics, acoustics, physiology, motor control, neuroscience, speech technology and human interaction. The conference series has been held throughout the world, and was last in the US in 1993. Each meeting has attracted a substantial portion of the active researchers in this important yet challenging area of speech research. The current project will allow attendance by 10 students at the conference, with special events and one-on-one meetings with selected senior researchers. Keeping up with the latest in technology and theory is greatly facilitated by an international meeting such as this one, and it provides students with an especially useful entry into the field.Speech is of critical importance to human communication, and the mechanisms used to produce it are complex and difficult to quantify. Visible articulators such as the lips and chin (related to jaw height) are relatively easy to assess, but their accurate measurement is difficult. Video images can certainly show aspects of the visible articulators, but the nonlinear compression of the 3D face into a 2D video image makes measurement unreliable, and generally more sophisticated devices are used. Modern technology, such as ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), allow a more detailed look at the tongue, which, despite being a major component of speech production, is quite difficult to measure. These advances in data collection have begun to feed into improved models of speech motor control. The 8 keynote speakers at the conference will highlight the wide range of relevant topics, from neuroscience to disordered speech, from acquisition of speech to aging, from the technology of measurement to the influence of measurement on consumer technology. In short, the conference is an excellent showcase for the range and impact of speech production research.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

本次会议将于 2020 年 6 月在罗德岛州普罗维登斯举行，专家和学生将齐聚一堂，探讨测量和分析物理层面语音组织方式的创新方法的进展。在过去的 31 年里，国际语音产生研讨会 (ISSP) 每三到四年举办一次，旨在为从事音韵学、语音学等不同领域的语音产生各个方面的研究人员提供一个跨学科论坛、韵律、力学、声学、生理学、运动控制、神经科学、语音技术和人类互动。 该系列会议已在世界各地举行，最后一次于 1993 年在美国举行。每次会议都吸引了语音研究这一重要但具有挑战性领域的活跃研究人员的大部分。目前的项目将允许 10 名学生参加会议，并举办特别活动以及与选定的高级研究人员的一对一会议。像这样的国际会议极大地促进了跟上最新的技术和理论，并且它为学生提供了进入该领域特别有用的机会。语音对于人类交流以及用于产生语音的机制至关重要是复杂且难以量化的。 嘴唇和下巴（与下巴高度相关）等可见咬合器官相对容易评估，但准确测量它们很困难。视频图像当然可以显示可见咬合架的各个方面，但是将 3D 面部非线性压缩为 2D 视频图像使得测量不可靠，并且通常使用更复杂的设备。超声波和磁共振成像 (MRI) 等现代技术可以更详细地观察舌头，尽管舌头是言语产生的主要组成部分，但测量却相当困难。数据收集方面的这些进步已开始融入改进的语音运动控制模型中。会议上的 8 位主讲嘉宾将重点介绍广泛的相关主题，从神经科学到言语障碍，从言语习得到衰老，从测量技术到测量对消费技术的影响。简而言之，这次会议是演讲产生研究的范围和影响的绝佳展示。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
