Call for Papers:
Co-organised by the International Linguistic Society and DELAD
(Database Enterprise for Language and Speech Disorders)
Language disorders affect individuals across all ages and languages.
While many are congenital and emerge in early childhood, others
develop later in life as a result of neurological conditions, illness,
or injury. Addressing this global and multilingual reality requires
robust, well-documented, and ethically managed language disorder
corpora.
This special session focuses on the FAIR sharing of speech disorders
corpora in advancing research, clinical practice, and
interdisciplinary collaboration.
Session Format: Panel-led introduction
Keynote lecture: Iris Nowenstein
Panel: Iris Nowenstein, Paul Trilsbeek, Alice Lee, Satu Saalasti

limited to:

 - Ethical, legal, and governance issues in clinical language data
 - National and international initiatives to collect and share speech
disorders corpora
 - Reuse and interoperability of corpora
 - Clinical and research applications of disorder corpora
