1st Sound Start Symposium

With great pride we look back at the succes of the first ever organised Sound Start Symposium on the 12th of December 2023. This symposium aimed to provide a comprehensive overview of the research focus, advancements, and future prospects of the SoundStart project. It also offered insights into the methodologies embraced within the SoundStart project and related research by our esteemed collaborators.

In the morning we started with talks ranging from the development of prosodic phrasing (Jorik Geutjes), the development of form-meaning mappings in prosody (Elanie van Niekerk) to visual cues to prosodic development (Victoria Reshetnikova).

After the lunch in collaboration with the Dynamics of Youth, Early Childhood community, there were roundtable discussions to get feedback on the currently running projects and get new insides from different disciplines. All in all, a very interesting and productive day.

Many thanks to all of our collaborators and attendees and special thanks to: Prof. Dr. Aoju Chen, Jorik Geutjes, Elanie van Niekerk and Victoria Reshetnikova for organizing this event. We hope to do it again next year!
