PAC 2025 - Spoken English varieties: Perception and representations

Hugo Chatellier — 2025-05-26T12:23:34Z

The 17th edition of the PAC international conference entitled "Spoken English varieties: perception and representations" will be held at Laboratoire Parole et Langage, Aix-en-Provence, June 18-20 2025. It will focus on perception and representations of spoken English varieties, both native and non-native, from a phonetic and phonological point of view. People working in the framework of the PAC programme are used to following a field approach, which is production-oriented. We would like to broaden our perspective by using our data to test perception and representations. The idea is to open the conference to researchers specialized in psycholinguistics and sociolinguistics as applied to phonetics and phonology.
The conference will be organized around three days of plenary talks, thematic sessions and workshops focusing on the issues detailed in the conference program.

PAC 2023 - Spoken English varieties : interfaces and multidimensional approaches

Hugo Chatellier — 2023-04-12T08:17:00Z

The 16th edition of the PAC international conference entitled "Spoken English varieties: interfaces and multidimensional approaches" will be held at University Paris Nanterre, April 12-14 2023. It will focus on interfaces between phonology and phonetics as well as other levels of linguistic structure in contemporary spoken English varieties on the basis of corpus data. Multidimensional approaches to oral corpora are understood as approaches combining different levels of linguistic analysis and/or tools and methods borrowed from other disciplines (such as sociology, geography, anthropology, computer science, stylistics, psychology, neuro and cognitive sciences, media studies, cultural studies).
The conference will be organized around three days of plenary and thematic sessions focusing on the issues detailed in the conference program.
We hope to see you in Nanterre!
