Meeting Description:

During the last decade, extensive compilation of spontaneous speech corpora
for several linguistic families has provided large amounts of data to
linguistic research, often including the acoustic and prosodic dimension,
which is fundamental for speech analysis. Speech corpora, therefore, represent
a strong enhancement for the development of linguistic theory in several and
diversified domains. However, the notion of sentence as unit of reference for
spoken language analysis turns out to be strongly limiting as well as
inconsistent with the available data. Different paradigms point at various
possible ways to identify structural properties of spoken language, including
its unit of reference. Starting from direct comparison of empirical studies on
several languages and linguistic families, the workshop intends to advance in
the comprehension of the unit of reference for spontaneous speech and to
profit from the discussion of the results of multiple theoretical approaches
in order to define a common ground.
