Meeting Description:

ALOES 2016: 1st and 2nd April, 2016 / 18th Conference on Spoken English at Villetaneuse
Paris 13 University / PLEIADE (EA7338).

Phonetics and forensics: speaker, register and dialect identification.

Plenary speakers: 
Geoffrey Stewart Morrison, expert on forensic speech science.
Daniel Hirst, emeritus expert on suprasegmental features.

The 18th Conference on Spoken English at Villetaneuse (ALOES 2016) will welcome two plenary speakers: Geoffrey Stewart Morrison, former subject editor for Speech Communication and co-editor of Vowel Inherent Spectral Change (2013), will give a talk on the segmental aspects of forensic analysis; Daniel Hirst, emeritus senior researcher at the CNRS, co-editor of the proceedings of the Speech Prosody conferences, will focus on the suprasegmental aspects of speaker classification and identification. Their presentations will provide an overview of the most recent techniques and results of segmental and suprasegmental analysis.

Beyond the over-optimistic representations of speaker identification in television programmes and films, this conference aims to foster a discussion of the latest research in English phonetics and phonology as far as speaker identification, speech styles, accents, and idiolects are concerned. We invite papers on these topics: case studies investigating specific features, text-to-speech, perception tests, sociolinguistic features, etc. Papers characterizing genres and spoken discourse will also be considered.

The first day of the conference will focus on these issues; we will, however, consider papers on other topics in the field of spoken English, to be presented on the second day. Each talk will be 30 minutes long, followed by 10 minutes for discussion. 

Organizing committee: 

Viviane Arigne, Nicolas Ballier, Pierre Fournier, Yann Fuchs and Christiane Migette. 

Scientific committee: 

Viviane Arigne (Paris 13 University), Nicolas Ballier (Paris 7 University), Phil Carr (Montpellier 3 University), Pierre Fournier (Paris 13 University), Mark Gray (Paris 12 University), Sylvie Hanote (University of Poitiers), Sophie Herment (Aix-Marseille University), Susan Moore (University of Limoges), Jennifer Vince (Paris 3 University).

Call for Papers:

Anonymous abstracts (300 words maximum), along with a separate document containing the author’s name and affiliation, should be sent, before 4 January 2016, to the following address: pierre.fournier at univ-paris13.fr 

Contact person: Pierre Fournier (pierre.fournier at univ-paris13.fr) 

Pre-conference workshop: Learner Scoring and Automatic Assessment for Spoken Data?

A pre-conference workshop will be held at Paris Diderot on March 31. Geoffrey Stewart Morrison will present L2/L1 data modeling in connection with his published papers. He will give a talk on logistic regression. Daniel Hirst will demo Prozed, a tool for the investigation of learner prosody. We invite papers bearing more specifically on learner data, investigating learner scoring, automatic assessment, data modeling of segmental or suprasegmental features. 

Deadline: 4 January 2016
