There is a growing research literature on speech perception and production in non-optimal conditions with speakers and listeners who have hearing impairment, who are not native speakers of the language, or who are developing native language perception skills. This seminar will compare and contrast research on how speakers adjust their output when talking to these groups of listeners (“clear” vs. conversational speech, infant/child directed vs. adult directed speech, speech produced in noisy environments) and how perceptual performance changes as a function of this coordination between speaker and listener. Implications for general theories of speech perception and production will be discussed and students will propose a research project in one of the areas covered in the seminar.
