Conference, Workshop, or Colloquium

This conference will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of research on different issues related to phonetic variation within and across languages. The papers presented at the conference will cover a wide range of topics (e.g., dialectology, cross-linguistic variation), methodological approaches (e.g., experimental phonetics, theoretical analyses, interdisciplinary research), and perspectives (e.g., synchronic analyses, language change through time); this list is by no means exhaustive and other topics, approaches, and perspectives are welcome, as long as the focus of the study is phonetic variation.

ICPhoV aims to celebrate phonetic diversity. Submissions on under-studied languages or language varieties are particularly welcome.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

1. Production and perception of phonetic variation
2. Phonetic variation and language contact
3. Sociophonetic variation
4. Regional phonetic variation
5. Prosodic variation
6. Phonetic variation and language change
7. Phonetic variation in second language acquisition
8. Technological and computational approaches to phonetic variation
9. Phonetic variation and speech disorders
10. Cross-linguistic phonetic variation
11. Phonetic variation in child language development
12. Forensic and applied perspectives on phonetic variation
13. Multimodality and phonetic variation
14. Phonetic variation, cultural heritage, and archival research
15. Prosodic variation in media and speech
16. Phonetic variation and psycholinguistics
17. Historical analyses of phonetic variation

Preparing your submission

Presentations will be 20-minutes long, followed by a 10-minute discussion. Papers must be written and presented in English. Submissions are limited to two per author and they can be individual or joint. ICPhoV will be an in-person event, so at least one author per paper must register and present at the conference.

Each submission can be up to three pages long, with the third reserved exclusively for references and acknowledgments. Papers should be written in Times New Roman size 12, with single line spacing, and margins of at least 2.5 cm. Figures and tables can be included in the submission; please include a caption under each figure and table in Times New Roman size 10.

In line with our double-blind review process, ICPhoV submissions must be anonymised. Please upload your submission as a PDF (anonymised) and as a Word document (not anonymised).

Accepted submissions will be included in an electronic booklet, which will be available for download prior to the conference.
