This week is the International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association conference. It was meant to be held in Glasgow in 2020, but was postponed due to COVID restrictions. The 2021 conference is entirely online. There are over 200 delegates, 140 posters and ~ 40 oral presentations.
Our team are presenting the following papers (live - so the timezone differences between Glasgow (listed below) and Bathurst are fun to navigate):
- Transcribing Multilingual Children’s and Adults’ Speech (June 23, 2021, 11:30 a.m. - 11:50 a.m. [~ 8:30pm Bathurst time])
- Evidence of the Emergence Approach to Speech Acquisition in Bilingual Vietnamese-English children (June 23, 2021, 11:50 a.m. - 12:10 p.m. [~ 9pm Bathurst time])
- Parents' ratings of intelligibility in 3-year-olds with cleft lip and/or
palate using the Intelligibility in Context Scale: Findings from the

Kate Margetson gave the first ICPLA oral presentation after the first keynote - there was a lot of interest in applying her results to other languages

The conference has used Whova as the presentation app and Gathertown for posters and networking.
I just listened to the Red Hot Chilli Pipers (!) in the Student Union.

Gathertown uses avatars to network, present posters, and enjoy Scotland!
