THIRD CALL FOR PAPERS
International AAI Workshop

"Interfaces prosodiques"
"Prosodic Interfaces"

NANTES (France)
27-28-29 Mars / March 2003

* Presentation

The AAI team of the University of Nantes is calling for papers for its
international workshop. Many of you participated in our Workshops in
1997, 1999 and 2002. We hope that you will honour us this year too.

Our proposal this year is to investigate the field of speech prosody,
which is acquiring a central dimension in many domains. This
centrality explains our choice of the term 'interfaces', which
underlines the articulation of prosody with other research areas.  How
for instance can we link prosody and syntax, pragmatics, the study of
gestures? What kinds of analytic grids, phonetical or phonological,
can we apply to prosodic phenomena? What can we learn from the
pathology and acquisition of prosody? What is the amplitude of
prosodic variation between the languages of the world, or between the
dialects of a given language?  How can bilingualism and second
language acquisition help us to understand the role of prosody in
language?

All these questions, and hopefully many others, will be addressed in
March 2003 in Nantes.

* Topics

The workshop will be organized around the following topics:
- prosody and discourse : semantics, pragmatics, enunciation
- prosody and syntax
- prosody and acquisition / pathology
- phonetic description / phonological interpretation
- prosody and gestures
- prosodic typology
- prosody and bilingualism
- prosody and speech technology
- prosody, attitudes and emotions

* Organisation

This workshop is organised by the research team AAI (Acoustics,
Acquisition and Interpretation JE2220) of the University of Nantes,
and coordinated by Amina Mettouchi and Gaëlle Ferré
