PAC 2015 Conference – Call for papers

Variation, change and spoken corpora: advances in the phonology and 
phonetics of contemporary English

*Location*: Toulouse, France

*Dates*: 9-13 April 2015

*Venue:*Maison de la Recherche, University of Toulouse 2 - Jean Jaurès

*Contact*: Anne Przewoznyanne.przewozny at univ-tlse2.fr 
<mailto:anne.przewozny at univ-tlse2.fr>

We are very pleased to announce the 11^th “Phonology of Contemporary 
English” conference, to be held at the University of Toulouse 2 - Jean 
Jaurès, Toulouse France, from 9 to 13 April 2015 (Thursday-Monday).

Our *keynote speakers* will be (in alphabetical order):

Maciej Baranowski (University of Manchester, England)

Gerard Docherty (Griffith University, Australia)

Mariko Kondo (Waseda University, Japan)

Jane Stuart-Smith (University of Glasgow, Scotland)

Eiji Yamada (Fukuoka University, Japan)

The conference will be structured in plenary sessions, thematic 
workshops, open parallel sessions and poster sessions during four days. 
The thematic workshops will be devoted tostress in English (from lexical 
to utterance), the corpus-based study of sociophonetic variation and 
change, urban dialectology, prosodic annotation and tools, 
interphonology. Papers on these topics are therefore welcome. 
Nevertheless, papers can be submitted on all other aspects of the 
phonology and phonetics of contemporary English ranging from a 
theoretical to a practical perspective. As modern spoken corpora allow 
exploitations from a variety of angles, we also welcome papers which 
explore the interface between phonology and morphology, syntax, 
semantics or pragmatics.

More information will be available shortly at http://www.projet-pac.net

*Guidelines for abstracts *(oral presentations as well as posters):

Abstracts can be submitted until 15 November 2014. Three peers from our 
international scientific committee will review each abstract

*Language of the conference: *English

The PAC conferences have been organized each year in Toulouse, 
Montpellier or Aix-en-Provence since 2004. *PAC "La Phonologie de 
l’Anglais Contemporain: usages, variétés et structure / The Phonology of 
Contemporary English: usage, varieties and structure"*is a programme 
coordinated by Philip Carr, Jacques Durand and Anne Przewozny.Its main 
aims have been to provide a better picture of spoken English in its 
unity and diversity (geographical, social and stylistic), to test 
phonological and phonetic models from a synchronic and diachronic point 
of view, making room for the systematic study of variation, to favour 
communication between specialists in speech and in phonological theory, 
to provide data and analyses which will help improve the teaching of 
English as a foreign language. We have been involved in the construction 
of a corpus of spoken English from 31 locations in the English-speaking 
world. In terms of linguistic study, the recordings lend themselves to 
various types of exploitation, including syntax and pragmatics. The PAC 
programme has developed into a variety of thematic research groups with 
dedicated research interests:
 ICE-IPAC (the Interphonology of 
Contemporary English), PAC-Syntax (the syntax, semantics and pragmatics 
of contemporary spoken English), PAC-Prosody (analysis of speech prosody 
and tools), PAC-Research (annotation issues and tools), PAC-EFL (the 
teaching of English as a second language and pedagogical tools), LVTI 
(Language, Urban life, Work, Identity) on the study of English in urban 
contexts.http://www.projet-pac.net
