Workshop: Aspiration in Language
Part of the CRC 1252 Prominence in Language
University of Cologne, 3-4 December 2025
Website:
https://sfb1252.uni-koeln.de/en/veranstaltungen/internationale-tagungen-workshops/aspiration-in-language
We invite abstracts for a two-day workshop on Aspiration in Language,
which will take place on 3rd and 4th December 2025 at the University
of Cologne within the framework of the Collaborative Research Centre
1252 Prominence in Language (CRC 1252:
https://sfb1252.uni-koeln.de/en/).
This workshop aims to bring together researchers working on aspiration
from phonetic, phonological, typological, diachronic, and
psycholinguistic perspectives. We are especially interested in
contributions that explore the interaction between aspiration and
prominence, broadly construed—covering prosodic prominence, stress,
focus, and information structure.
Topics of interest include (but are not limited to):
 - Acoustic and articulatory correlates of aspiration in different
prominence contexts
 - Typological variation in aspiration–prominence relationships
 - Aspiration in second language acquisition and bilingual speech
 - Diachronic change and the role of aspiration in prosodic
restructuring
 - Perceptual cues and listener processing of aspiration and
prominence
 - Methodological advances in measuring and analysing aspiration
Confirmed Invited Speakers:
 - Míša Hejná, Aarhus University
 - Johanna Cronenberg, Université Sorbonne Nouvelle
Abstract submission guidelines:
 - Abstracts must be submitted in English.
 - Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words (excluding
references).
 - Please submit a PDF without any identifying information.
 - Please also submit a separate file with your name, affiliation, and
contact details.
Important Dates:
 - Abstract submission deadline: 25 September 2025
 - Notification of acceptance: 15 October 2025
Workshop dates: 3-4 December 2025
Contact/Abstract submission:
Christiane Ulbrich (culbrich at uni-koeln.de)
We look forward to your contributions to a lively and
interdisciplinary discussion on aspiration and its role in cueing
prominence in spoken language.
