Full Title: 3rd International Symposium on Linguistic Patterns in Spontaneous Speech 
Short Title: LPSS 2019 

Date: 21-Nov-2019 - 22-Nov-2019
Location: Taipei, Taiwan, Taiwan 
Contact Person: Tiffany Liu
Meeting Email: 2019lpss at gmail.com

Linguistic Field(s): General Linguistics 

Call Deadline: 03-Jun-2019 

Meeting Description:

The first LPSS was held in Academia Sinica in 2006 to specifically bring
together scholars from linguistics and speech technology for interaction and
discussion about what spontaneous speech is and how it can be understood and
dealt with, given the common goal is to look for genuine linguistic patterns. 

In 2010, Kikuo Maekawa and Yasuharu Den hosted the second LPSS, as an
Interspeech satellite event, embracing a prospective variety of research
topics related to spontaneous speech and disfluency. Since 2014, the Institute
of Linguistics, Academia Sinica (ILAS) and the National Institute for Japanese
Language and Linguistics (NINJAL) have established bilateral collaborations.
The collaboration project, Cross-linguistic research of the phonetic
representations of filled pauses, has been successful in exchanging Chinese
and Japanese data and research methodology on spontaneous speech. Given the
fast-growing demands of intelligent technology systems involving the spoken
language, the third LPSS in 2019 aims to explore the application possibilities
of spontaneous speech, including technology, pathology, and acquisition.
Moreover, the organizers also hope to minimize the efforts that individual
teams have to make by discussing the common theoretical and empirical works
and by sharing data and know-how, with an integrative view.


Call for Papers:

LPSS 2019 invites linguists, practitioners, engineers, and experts who are
interested in issues related to speech communication, prospering in research
studies and innovation of clinical, educational, and technological
applications. We aims to publish a book based on papers presented at LPSS 2019
after the conference and hope to receive your precious results and insights
that can contribute to the understanding and processing of human speech
communication. We accept only full papers with a maximum length of 4 pages + 1
cover page in pdf format. No fixed paper format is required, but the cover
page must include information about (1) Paper title, (2) Author names, (3)
Author affiliation, (4) Author E-mail contacts, and (5) Abstract. Paper
submission system is open on January 15, 2019:

https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=lpss2019

LPSS 2019 also invites scholars who are interested in close contact with the
invited speakers in face-to-face meetings, to submit a 2-page description of
their research, clearly stating the issues and the relationship to the invited
speakers’ research. We hope this arrangement can inspire different research
directions and collaborations. If you intend to take part in this arrangement,
please register first and submit a 2-page short statement of your research no
later than October 15, 2019 to 2019lpss at gmail.com.
