Offer Description

Information about the project: Foreign Directed Speech (FDS) is a speech register that native speakers use when addressing non-native (foreign) listeners.

The present project will provide evidence on the didactic impact of FDS (i.e., facilitated speech perception) on foreign listeners, and evidence on the didactic function of FDS (i.e., being produced to help foreign listeners in perception and comprehension). Our main goal will be to explore to what extent FDS promotes language processing and comprehension. More specifically, we will address whether prediction, comprehension, listening effort, attention, and information retention are promoted by FDS relative to NDS (i.e., Native Directed Speech). We will also explore whether FDS is language-, speaker-, and listener-specific, or whether it is universal. The outcome of this project will be highly relevant for models on multilingual communication and speech accommodation. It will also have important pragmatic implications given that a large majority of people around the world communicate in a foreign language or with foreign listeners.

Job Description
  1. Designing and implementing studies exploring FDS perception and production in adults
  2. Analysing acoustic, behavioural and electrophysiological data during speech processing
  3. Writing research articles under the supervision of the PI, aiming to publish at top-tier journals
  4. Dissemination of results at international scientific conferences and to the general public
Requirements Skills/Qualifications
  • Good knowledge of the field of cognitive neuroscience and/or linguistics, experimental psychology
