CALL FOR PAPERS
Phonetic Approaches to Under-Documented Languages (With a Special
Emphasis on Tibeto-Burman Languages) (Phon-UDL)
18–19 September 2025 | Campus Condorcet, Aubervilliers, Paris
Organized by the Center for East Asian Linguistics (CRLAO, CNRS) and
the Laboratory of Phonetics and Phonology (LPP, CNRS)
With this conference, we aim to explore the potential for instrumental
phonetic methods to bolster the documentation of endangered languages
and to reflect on the role of phonetics in the classification of
under-documented languages.
Under-documented languages—such as many within the Tibeto-Burman
family—hold considerable potential for advancing our understanding of
phonological typology and processes of sound change. However, fully
realizing this potential may require the integration of instrumental
and experimental phonetics into more established methodologies of
documentary and descriptive linguistics.
Analytical approaches such as acoustic analysis of phonemes and tonal
systems, articulatory descriptions, and aerodynamic studies provide
valuable, complementary tools. These methods not only enrich
synchronic descriptions of under-documented languages but also lay the
groundwork for identifying sound correspondences with related
varieties and refining phonological typologies. By combining
descriptive phonetics with modern instrumental techniques, researchers
can produce more robust and nuanced accounts of phonological systems.
This workshop aims to explore how instrumental and experimental
phonetics can contribute to the study and classification of
under-documented languages. We invite discussions on topics such as:
- The role of descriptive phonetics in documenting and analyzing
under-resourced languages;
- Correlations between articulatory and acoustic features in
under-documented languages;
- The interaction between articulation and perception in shaping
phonological systems;
- Applications of instrumental techniques such as electropalatography,
ultrasound imaging in phonetic fieldwork;
- The place of tone languages and complex prosodic systems within
phonological typologies;
- Studies on voice quality and intra-/inter-speaker variation in
phoneme production;
- Contributions to phonological databases aimed at enriching existing
typologies.
We invite contributions addressing any of the above topics.
Submissions focusing on lesser-known Tibeto-Burman languages are
especially encouraged.
Submission Guidelines
Abstracts should not exceed 1,000 words, including tables, figures,
and references.
- Deadline for abstract submission: 1 June 2025
- Notification of acceptance: 10 July 2025
Abstracts can be submitted via the conference site at:
https://phon-udl.sciencesconf.org
We encourage all interested participants to use this platform for
their submissions.

This conference will be held in hybrid mode, allowing participants to
present their papers either in person or remotely. We are looking
forward to receiving contributions from colleagues both near and far.
Thank you for your attention, we look forward to receiving your
contributions!
