Meeting Description:

The production of speech can be simultaneously examined in laboratory
and non-laboratory settings. While the former context allows
researchers to carefully target specific, controlled aspects of
production, the latter allows researchers to examine speech in more
ecologically-real settings. Alongside advances in computational power
and increased access to automated techniques, this perspective has
elevated corpus phonetics as a major approach to research in phonetics
and phonology. Corpus phonetic methods are now used in a wide range of
contexts, from the analysis of fieldwork data from small numbers of
speakers to the automated processing of cross-linguistic speech data
sets representing hundreds or thousands of speakers. The primary goal
of the CorpusPhon workshop is to create an inclusive forum for this
diverse set of practitioners, bringing together researchers who use
corpus phonetic tools with a view towards building a cohesive
community.

The workshop will be held alongside LabPhon 19 in Seoul, South Korea
at Hanyang University on June 26, 2024. It will offer a venue for
discussing methodological best practices in corpus phonetics,
demonstrating a diversity of approaches, examining the relevance of
corpus data to laboratory phonology and phonetics, analyzing problems
relating to collecting or analyzing corpus data at different scales,
presenting results of corpus studies, and showcasing data and tools.

Call for Papers:

We are soliciting work on original and unpublished research on topics
related to corpus phonetics, as well as tutorials on existing
data/tools, or strong work in progress. Appropriate sub-topics include
(but are not limited to) the following:

- Corpus phonetic studies, including studies involving smaller speech
corpora, endangered/underdocumented language data, prosody,
sociophonetics, cross-linguistic/dialectal variation, longitudinal
data, historical data, or large-scale corpora.
- Processing tools, such as forced alignment, grapheme-to-phoneme
conversion, automated annotation, and automated phonetic measurement;
- Quantitative analysis (statistical methods, visualization) for
corpus/observational data;
Issues in corpus development, such as validation and quality control;
issues related to data storage, management, and metadata; and ethical
issues;
- Presentation of new corpora appropriate for research in laboratory
phonology.

Submissions should specify whether the presentation is better suited
for a standard conference talk (~20 min + 10 min questions) or a
demonstration (10-min lightning talk + participation in a 1-hour
walk-about session). For example, a talk could report new research
using an existing corpus, summarize a “closed” corpus (e.g.
co-developed with a language community), or discuss broader
methodological and conceptual considerations for corpus phonetics. A
demonstration could present a tool for automatic speech analysis, show
a new “open” corpus, or give a quick tutorial.

Submission instructions
----------------------------

1-page abstract with a second page for figures and references. The
formatting should adhere to the LabPhon abstract formatting
requirements (Times New Roman, 12pt font, single spacing, 1-inch
margins). Abstracts should be submitted on EasyChair.

Link for submission:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=corpusphon2024

Please specify whether your abstract should be considered for a
demonstration slot or a standard talk slot. Demonstrations should be
given in person. We might be able to offer a hybrid presentation
option for a limited number of presenters who are giving a standard
talk.

Important dates
------------------

- Submissions are due by Wednesday, March 6, 11:59P, Anywhere on Earth
(AoE)
- Notifications will be sent out by March 15, 2024.
- Date/Time (Tentative): 09:00-16:50, Wednesday 26 June 2024
- Location: TBA (but the same place as the conference venue, HIT,
Hanyang University)

Workshop structure
----------------------

Participants can submit an abstract for two types of presentation:

- Talks: ~20 min + 10 min questions
- Demonstrations: ~10-min lightning talk; participation in 1 hour
walk-about demo session
