PAC 2015 Conference – Call for papers

Conference Title: PAC 2015

Full title: Variation, change and spoken corpora: advances in the  
phonology and phonetics of contemporary English

Location: Toulouse, France
Dates: 9-13 April 2015
Venue: Maison de la Recherche, University of Toulouse 2 - Jean Jaurès
Contact: Anne Przewozny  anne.przewozny at univ-tlse2.fr

We are very pleased to announce the 11th “Phonology of Contemporary  
English” conference, to be held at the University of Toulouse 2 - Jean  
Jaurès, Toulouse France, from 9 to 13 April 2015 (Thursday-Monday).

Our keynote speakers will be (in alphabetical order):
Maciej Baranowski (University of Manchester, England)
Gerard Docherty (Griffith University, Australia)
Mariko Kondo (Waseda University, Japan)
Jane Stuart-Smith (University of Glasgow, Scotland)
Eiji Yamada (Fukuoka University, Japan)

The conference will be structured in plenary sessions, thematic  
workshops, open parallel sessions and poster sessions over four days.  
The thematic workshops will be devoted to stress in English (from  
lexical to utterance), the corpus-based study of sociophonetic  
variation and change, urban dialectology, prosodic annotation and  
tools, interphonology. Papers on these topics are therefore welcome.  
Nevertheless, papers can be submitted on all other aspects of the  
phonology and phonetics of contemporary English ranging from a  
theoretical to a practical perspective. As modern spoken corpora allow  
exploitations from a variety of angles, we also welcome papers which  
explore the interface between phonology and morphology, syntax,  
semantics or pragmatics.

More information will be available shortly at http://www.projet-pac.net

Guidelines for abstracts (oral presentations as well as posters):

Abstracts can be submitted until 15 November 2014. Three peers from  
our international scientific committee will review each abstract  
anonymously. Notification of acceptance will be sent by email on 15  
January 2014. You are requested to submit a fully anonymised abstract  
through the Easy Abstracts facility of the Linguist List at

Language of the conference: English

The PAC conferences have been organized each year in Toulouse,  
Montpellier or Aix-en-Provence since 2004. PAC "La Phonologie de  
l’Anglais Contemporain: usages, variétés et structure / The Phonology  
of Contemporary English: usage, varieties and structure" is a  
programme coordinated by Philip Carr, Jacques Durand and Anne  
Przewozny. Its main aims have been to provide a better picture of  
spoken English in its unity and diversity (geographical, social and  
stylistic), to test phonological and phonetic models from a synchronic  
and diachronic point of view, making room for the systematic study of  
variation, to favour communication between specialists in speech and  
in phonological theory, to provide data and analyses which will help  
improve the teaching of English as a foreign language. We have been  
involved in the construction of a corpus of spoken English from 31  
locations in the English-speaking world. In terms of linguistic study,  
the recordings lend themselves to various types of exploitation,  
including syntax and pragmatics. The PAC programme has developed into  
a variety of thematic research groups with dedicated research  
interests:
 ICE-IPAC (the Interphonology of Contemporary English),  
PAC-Syntax (the syntax, semantics and pragmatics of contemporary  
spoken English), PAC-Prosody (analysis of speech prosody and tools),  
PAC-Research (annotation issues and tools), PAC-EFL (the teaching of  
English as a second language and pedagogical tools), LVTI (Language,  
Urban life, Work, Identity) on the study of English in urban contexts.
