August 2019, with “Endangered Languages” as one of the themes of the
conference.  We are delighted to announce
that there will be a special session at the Congress devoted to the phonetic
structures of Indigenous languages of South America.  We are now inviting full paper submissions on
original, unpublished research relating to the phonetics of any Indigenous
South American language.  The special
session will be a poster session, but all successful submissions will be
immediately published as part of the prestigious ICPhS proceedings.</span></a></p>

session is a venue for researchers to present the most up-to-date phonetic
research on endangered South American Indigenous languages. In particular, the
session focuses on how researching phonetic structures in native South American
languages can inform and enrich phonetic typology as a whole. Furthermore, this
session offers a possibility for field phoneticians working on endangered
languages to exchange methodological insights given that mainstream practices
for collecting phonetic data may not be possible in the small remote
communities where many endangered languages are spoken.</span></p>
