WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: Perspectives on Rhythm and Timing (PoRT) is a three-
day interdisciplinary workshop to be held at the University of Glasgow 
from 19 to 21 July 2012. PoRT is intended as a forum for rhythm 
researchers from a range of disciplines to debate and learn from each 
other’s theoretical and methodological advances. The work to be presented 
ranges across neurobiology, musicology, linguistic phonetics, poetry, 
forensics, computational modelling, psychology, clinical linguistics, and 
sociology.
