<span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The workshop Speech Units
<b>(17-19 April 2023)</b> offers a forum for the discussion of the experimental study of speech data and aims at providing training for those interested in engaging with the topic. The workshop invites contributions dealing with the speech production and structure
of word, word-like, and intonational units in child and adult speech from diverse languages and language varieties. We welcome phoneticians and fieldworkers who are interested in phonetic and phonological descriptions of under-documented languages and the
use of experimental methods for this purpose. </span></p>
