This book constitutes the documentation of the scientific outcome of the first meeting of the TIMELY network, the International Workshop on Multidisciplinary Aspects of Time and Time Perception, which took place in Athens, Greece, in October 2010. The 21 papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected for inclusion in the book. They cover the following topics: conceptual analysis and measurement of time; exploring factors associated with time perception variability; extending time research to ecologically-valid stimuli and real-world applications; and uncovering the neural correlates of time perception.

The most up-to-date and comprehensive description of the Spanish language's phonetic and phonological system Though there has been considerable research in Spanish phonology, until now, no in-depth and complete descriptive reference work has existed. Fonética y fonología descriptivas de la lengua española Volumes 1 and 2 is a comprehensive reference, written in Spanish, describing the phonetics and phonology of Spanish. Edited by Juana Gil Fernandez and Joaquim Llisterri, this set provides a comprehensive overview for understanding segmental and suprasegmental topics in Spanish phonology, making clear what further research is needed. The international set of contributors in this essential...
Non-Native Prosody: Phonetic Description and Teaching Practice is a response to the increasing interest in the field of prosody in second language acquisition and teaching. The volume presents an overview of the state of the art in second language prosody learning and teaching and brings together linguistic research on the description and modelling of non-native prosodic structures with L2 teaching methods and practices. The first part comprises descriptions of non-native prosodic structures (including intonation, stress and speech rhythm) as well as methodological considerations of research in second language acquisition written by experts in the field. These overviews of current theoretica...
The volume represents a state-of-the-art snapshot of the research on prosody for phoneticians, linguists and speech technologists. It covers well-known models and languages. How are prosodies linked to speech sounds? What are the relations between prosody and grammar? What does speech perception tell us about prosody, particularly about the constituting elements of intonation and rhythm? The papers of the volume address questions like these with a special focus on how the notion of context-based coding, the knowledge of prosodic functions and the communicative embedding of prosodic elements can advance our understanding of prosody.
This book contains a collection of cutting-edge papers on methodological aspects of prosody research. Current approaches to the gathering, treatment, and interpretation of prosodic data are discussed by experts in the field, illustrated by their own empirical research. Contributions focus on the choice and measurement of prosodic parameters, the establishment of prosodic categories, annotation structures for spoken-language data, and experimental methods for production and perception studies (including the construction of materials, modes of presentation, online vs. offline tasks, judgement scales, data processing, and statistical evaluation). The volume will serve as a handbook linking data collection and interpretation, allowing researchers in linguistics and related fields to make more informed decisions concerning their empirical work in prosody.
Mit dem Anti-Bias-Ansatz wird ein pädagogisches Bildungskonzept vorgestellt. Dieses wurde und wird in Deutschland zunächst in Kitas und mittlerweile immer häufiger auch in Schulen umgesetzt, um pädagogisches Handeln unter Berücksichtigung von Heterogenität zu professionalisieren. Angelehnt an das Konzept der Pädagogik der Vielfalt nach Annedore Prengel gibt die vorliegende Studie einen Überblick über die praktische Umsetzung des Anti-Bias-Ansatzes in institutionellen Bildungskontexten. Aus der Sicht von PädagogInnen, die in Deutschland mit dem Ansatz arbeiten, werden die Grundzüge und die Programmatik systematisch dargelegt. Vorgestellt wird damit ein Konzept zur pädagogischen Fortbildung, das zum Ziel hat, die Idee und die Bedeutung von Heterogenität in den Denk-, Deutungs- und Handlungskonzepten von PädagogInnen zu verankern.
