Meeting Description:

We are pleased to announce the 2016 edition of the annual PAC conference,
‘English Melodies’, due to take place from Thursday September 29 to Saturday
October 1 2016, hosted by the Laboratoire Parole et Langage and Aix-Marseille
University in Aix-en-Provence.

We shall welcome as invited guest speaker Professor Francis Nolan, from the
University of Cambridge.

In the framework of the PAC program, an annual conference is organised, with
the aim of gathering researchers interested in issues relating to the
'Phonology of Contemporary English: usage, varieties and structure’, within
and outside the PAC program. 

The PAC Program (http://www.projet-pac.net), ‘La Phonologie de l’Anglais
Contemporain: usages, variétés et structure; The Phonology of Contemporary
English: usage, varieties and structure’ is a project coordinated by Anne
Prezwozny, Philip Carr, Jacques Durand and Sophie Herment. Among other things
it aims at:

- giving a better picture of spoken English in its unity and diversity
(geographical, social and stylistic)
- testing phonological and phonetic models from a synchronic and diachronic
point of view, making room for the systematic study of variation
- favouring communication between specialists in speech and in phonological
theory
- providing data and analyses which will help improve the teaching of English
as a foreign language

Organising committee:

Gabor Turcsan, Aix-Marseille Université, Laboratoire Parole et Langage 
Sophie Herment, Aix-Marseille Université, Laboratoire Parole et Langage 
Anne Tortel, Aix-Marseille Université, Laboratoire Parole et Langage
Stéphanie Desous, Aix-Marseille Université, Laboratoire Parole et Langage
Joëlle Lavaud, Aix-Marseille Université, Laboratoire Parole et Langage
Catherine Perrot, Aix-Marseille Université, Laboratoire Parole et Langage
Claudia Pichon-Starke, Aix-Marseille Université, Laboratoire


Call for Papers:

Several sessions will be organised, following the development of a variety of
thematic research groups with dedicated interests within the PAC program:

- PAC-Research with a workshop on tools and annotation: Brigitte Bigi and
Daniel Hirst will present the latest functions of SPPAS, a tool producing
automatic phonetic annotations from a recorded speech sound and its
transcription, including Momel and Intsint which are now implemented.
- PAC-Prosody
- ICE-PAC (interphonologies of contemporary English)
- LVTI (Langue Ville Travail Identité), the study of English in urban contexts
and its link with the concept of identity.

Papers from a wide range of theoretical perspectives addressing the above
issues and related topics are welcome. Other things being equal, we will give
priority to papers focusing on the relationship between corpus studies and the
phonological/phonetic modelling of spoken English. A special emphasis will be
given this year to English melodies, in the broadest sense, from intonation to
segmental primes. We will welcome proposals on the use of automatic tools for
the study of very large data sets as well, in connection with the workshop.

The deadline for sending a title with a one-page abstract (excluding
references) is March 15, 2016. Please send your proposal in 2 pdf files, one
with name and affiliation, the other anonymous to:

gabor.turcsan at univ-amu.fr &
sophie.herment at univ-amu.fr

Notification of acceptance will be sent by the end of April.
