Conference Topics:

Audio archives are common in different disciplines within the social sciences
and humanities and Information and Communications Technology, from the various
fields of linguistics (phonetics, phonology, dialectology, sociolinguistics,
corpus linguistics, etc) and speech technologies (natural language processing,
automatic speech recognition, etc), to oral history, ethnography, sociology,
anthropology, and psychology.

They contain vast amounts of information relevant to social sciences and
humanities but at the same time they are underutilized material of intangible
cultural heritage. Crucially, the fragmentation of archives, repositories, and
data centres undermines the accessibility and reuse of oral archives. The
congress aims at discussing possibilities for a closer collaboration between
speech scientists, conversation analysists, speech technologists and oral
historians.

Potential questions include:

- What are the challenges involved in the re-use of speech and oral archives
collected for other purposes?
- What kind of opportunities do oral archives provide for speech technology?
- What do linguistic uses of historical narratives look like? What are the
opportunities and challenges of using oral history archives in linguistic
research? What are the opportunities and challenges of phonetic tools for oral
history and social sciences? In what ways could oral historians profit from a
closer collaboration?
- What are the challenges involved in the long-term preservation and in the
metadata description of digital archives? What are the challenges and the
risks associated to legal and ethical issues?
- What are the opportunities and the threats associated to online audio
archives sharing? What are the long-established standards and the welcomed
ones? What are the online share-platforms and the forthcoming projects? What
are the opportunities at EU level for the preservation and maintenance of
audio archives?

Following the tradition of AISV conferences, the programme will also include
open sessions on any aspect of speech science research. The languages of the
conference are Italian and English. Power Point presentations and posters
should be written in English.

Franciska de Jong| Universiteit Utrecht | Executive Director CLARIN ERIC
“Spoken word archives as societal and cultural data”
