Meeting Description:

There will be a special session on South Asian Languages at the Spring 2018
Acoustical Society of America meeting (May 7-11, 2018; Minneapolis, MN).

South Asian languages (SAL) test the limits of current phonetic theory due to
their complex array of features, pervasive multilingualism, and sparse
descriptions. We solicit research in all SAL areas, including but not limited
to prosody, phonation type, tone, & their interactions; breathy voiced
segments; degrees of retroflexion & its perception.

The format is yet to be determined, but is likely to include several talks and
a poster session. We will encourage participants to publish their work in POMA
(the Proceedings) or elsewhere.
