3-3-8 | (2015-04-14) Interdisciplinary Workshop on Laughter and other Non-Verbal Vocalisations in Speech, Enschede, The Netherlands ------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Papers for the Interdisciplinary Workshop on Laughter and other
Non-Verbal Vocalisations in Speech
14-15 April 2015, Enschede, The Netherlands
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following the previous workshops on laughter held in Saarbruecken (2007), Berlin
(2009), and Dublin (2012), we have the pleasure to announce a forthcoming
workshop in Enschede, the Netherlands in April 2015.
Non-verbal vocalisations in human-human and human-machine interactions play
important roles in displaying social and affective behaviors and in controlling
the flow of interaction. Laughter, sighs, filled pauses, and short utterances
such as feedback responses are among some of the non-verbal vocalisations that
have been studied previously from various research fields. However, much is
still unknown about the phonetic or visual characteristics of non-verbal
vocalisations (production/encoding) and their relations to their intentions and
perceived meanings (perception/decoding) in interaction.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together scientists from diverse research
areas and to provide an exchange forum for interdisciplinary discussions in
order to gain a better understanding of laughter and other non-verbal
vocalisations. The workshop will consist of invited talks and oral presentations
of ongoing research and discussion papers.
We invite contributions concerning laughter and other non-verbal vocalisations
from the fields of phonetics, linguistics, psychology, conversation analysis,
social signal processing, and human-machine/robot interaction. In particular,
topics related to the following aspects are very much welcomed:
* Multimodal interaction: visual aspects of non-verbal vocalisations, e.g.,
smiles, relation between non-verbal vocalisations and visual behaviors
* Social and affective behavior: decoding and encoding of emotion/socio-related
states in non-verbal vocalisations
* Conversation: (pragmatic) role of non-verbal vocalisations in dialog
* Computation: automatic analysis and generation of non-verbal vocalisations
Submission procedure
--------------------
Researchers are invited to submit an extended abstract of their work, including
work in progress. Please send your extended abstract of max. 3 pages, 11pt font
(including references) in PDF format to laughterworkshop2015 at gmail dot com.
Each submission should follow the ICSPhS style - the author kits (LaTeX and
Word) can be downloaded from the workshop website. In the email, please include
the name of the authors, their affiliations and the emailaddress of the
corresponding author, and a title of the abstract. Abstracts will undergo a
review process performed by at least 2 reviewers. The submissions will be made
available online.

3-3-10 | (2015-05-28) International Conference for Young Researchers in Linguistics, Toulouse, France (extended deadline) International Conference for Young Researchers in Linguistics
Discourse(s) In Linguistics: Units and Levels of Analysis
May 28th and 29th 2015 Toulouse - France www.jetou2015.fr
Submission Deadline: Friday October 24th 2014 EXTENDED Call for Papers
The doctoral students in Linguistics of the laboratories at Toulouse University, France:
CLLE-ERSS (Équipe de Recherche en Syntaxe et Sémantique) IRIT (Institut de Recherche en Informatique de Toulouse) OCTOGONE-Lordat (Centre Interdisciplinaire des Sciences du Langage et de la Cognition)
are organizing the 5th edition of JéTou (Journées d'études Toulousaines), an international conference aiming at gathering doctoral students and young researchers (who have defended their dissertation within the past three years) together, from the different disciplines of Linguistics, on an open and multidisciplinary theme.
This 2015 edition will be devoted to a reflection on the following theme: “Discourse(s) in Linguistics: Units and Levels of Analysis”.
The term discourse, understood in its broadest sense as a multimodal language production (oral, written, verbal, gestural) is at the heart of Linguistics. Both in production and reception, investigation methods have led to analysis levels with variable granularities, where overlapping units maintain relationships with strong interdependence. Therefore, discourse depends on both the object and the meaning given to it.
Common issues are: planning, segmentation, organization, modeling. A valuable reflection involving different fields arises from these challenges; more than ever, an interdisciplinary practice is necessary to further the various aspects of discourse.
Research in these fields has taken different forms. Besides, the gap between theoretical models and empirical studies based on real data has been significantly reduced in the last few years. Qualitative as well as quantitative, these works have raised new questions: choice of units, collection and annotation of corpora, evaluation procedures, comparison and interpretation of results, etc.
This edition will focus mainly on levels of analysis and units in discourse. Possible topics include:
Obviously, this list does not include all the research possibilities following from the theme of the conference, which is why every submission that addresses the notions of discourse in the Language Sciences will be read and reviewed. Proposals which include theoretical reflections and actual data will be particularly appreciated.
JéTou 2015 offers a challenging theme that every field of Language Sciences can adapt for themselves. This conference will give the opportunity, to those who wish to come, to ask questions, discuss and compare their work, their methods, their reflections in an interdisciplinary context, which favours positive interactions and constructive debates.
Guest Speakers :
Submission Guidelines:

3-3-11 | (2015-06-10) Appel à communications : Analyse des discours hors-normes :,approches, concepts et méthodes, Univ. Sherbrooke, Canada Plus d'informations sur http://www.hors-normes2015.evenement.usherbrooke.ca/index.html Depuis peu, on voit émerger un intérêt réciproque entre des sous-disciplines des Sciences du langage qui n’avaient guère coutume de dialoguer : la présente rencontre, qui réunit analystes du discours, phonéticiens, sémanticiens, didacticiens, acquisitionnistes, historiens de la langue et des représentations linguistiques, sociologues du langage etc. en est une illustration. Ce choc des cultures amène l’analyse du discours à considérer des discours oraux, écrits, hybrides sortant de « l’ordinaire », à s’ouvrir à une analyse de discours qui, envisagés depuis les traditions disciplinaires de l’AD et du point de vue de leurs fonctionnements ou encore des présupposés épistémologiques qu’ils interrogent ou bousculent, peuvent être qualifiés de hors-normes. Les domaines d’études où le hors-norme se manifeste ne sont pas limités aux points listés ci-dessous, toute proposition pertinente sera étudiée avec attention.
Sous quelles formes, quels contenus et selon quelles conditions de production, les discours sociaux recourent-ils au hors-norme ? Selon quels paramètres sociaux et discursifs les locuteurs placent-ils le curseur entre norme et hors-norme ? En interrogeant la qualification de « hors-norme » appliquée à des discours, ce colloque invite aussi à repenser les normes de l’analyse de discours.

3-3-12 | (2015-06-11) 18th Meeting Young Researchers (RJC 2015), Paris, France 18th Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC 2015) from June 11th, 2015 to June 12th, 2015 Created in 1998, the Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs (RJC) of the Doctoral School “Langage et langues” (ED 268, Sorbonne Nouvelle University - Paris 3) offer junior researchers preparing for a master's or a doctorate degree, as well as post-doctorates, the opportunity to present their work in paper or poster sessions. “Language contact: situations, representations, realizations” Introduced by U. Weinreich (1953), the notion of ‘language contact’ has to do with any situation where two languages are simultaneously present, thus affecting an individual’s or a community’s linguistic behavior (Moreau, 1997). ‘Language contact’ is at the heart of both linguistic variation and linguistic change, in their diachronic and synchronic aspects. The phenomenon takes place in spaces the borders of which fluctuate depending on migrations, economic and cultural dynamics, or political policies (colonization, external cultural domination…). The 18th Rencontres Jeunes Chercheurs offer an opportunity to think about connections and interferences between languages on the one hand, and between varieties inside a given language on the other hand, both from a synchronic and from a diachronic perspective. In recent years, an increasing number of research studies on ‘language contact’ have been led in a renewed methodological and epistemological frame of reference, based on variability awareness and on rooting linguistic data in materiality (Nicolai, 2007). These works are at opposite extremes from those conducted during the nineteenth century, since the latter dismissed the mere idea of ‘language contact’, in order to focus on language filiation instead (Tabouret-Keller, 1988). The conference addresses the issue of ‘language contact’ through three complementary notions: ‘situation’, ‘representation’ and ‘realization’. Tackling ‘language contact’ implies observing and making an empirical description not only of institutional, social, professional and family circumstances, but also of language learning and language acquisition in plurilinguistic or diglossic contexts. In addition, ‘situation’ is deeply implanted in psycholinguistics as well: mastering several languages impacts brain structure and cognitive processes. The term should therefore be understood in a broader sense, as it can refer to both individual and collective levels of analysis. Regional languages and language choices made by multilingual writers are examples thereof. Moreover, ‘language contact’ also takes part in the tension between language description and linguistic prescription. The conference will take into consideration the way speakers, as well as linguists and grammarians, build and convey social and metalinguistic representations of languages in contact, based on their own judgement. Studying ‘language contact’ is an invitation to discuss identity construction processes and to examine further notions such as ‘linguistic insecurity’ or ‘imagined communities’ (Anderson, 1983). Realizations pertaining to language contact are many and diverse. They are indeed compound language productions, some of which may be viewed from a collective standpoint, like borrowings, or Creole and pidgin languages. Others are to be observed from an individual angle, for instance interferences (phonic, syntactic, lexical) caused, in part, by transfers between the various languages known to a multilingual speaker. To this framework belong ‘code switching’ and, in the field of acquisition and didactics, ‘interlanguage’. The great variety of such realizations sheds new light on current language typologies. Similarly, new problems arise in the area of natural language processing, where multilingual corpora are giving birth to methodological issues that differ from those raised by monolingual corpora. Likewise, translation studies appear as a kind of language contact realization; as a matter of fact, translators have to deal with theoretical and practical difficulties regarding both languages brought into contact through translation and languages already in contact in the original texts (Ballard, 2006). All of the mentioned theoretical approaches are likely to bring researchers in linguistics to discuss a shared topic, and allow them to reflect on this discipline’s status within the Humanities. Participants are encouraged to consider all means of language expression (oral, written, sign language).

3-3-15 | (2015-06-29) 6èmes Journées de Phonétique clinique, Montpellier, France 1er appel à communication 6èmes Journées de Phonétique clinique Montpellier 29 juin - 1er juillet 2015
Organisées pour la première fois à Paris en 2005 puis rééditées successivement à Grenoble (2007), Aix-en-Provence (2009), Strasbourg (2011) et Liège (2013), les Journées de Phonétique Clinique (JPC) réunissent des chercheurs et des ingénieurs mais aussi des médecins (ORL, phoniatres, chirurgiens,?) ainsi que des orthophonistes s?intéressant tous aux questions liées aux pathologies de la parole et du langage. Les 6èmes Journées de Phonétique Clinique, qui font suite aux précédentes éditions, se dérouleront à Montpellier du 29 juin au 1er juillet 2015, où elles sont organisées conjointement par le laboratoire Praxiling (CNRS UMR 5267, Université Paul-Valéry), le Département Universitaire d?Orthophonie (Université Montpellier 1), l?Institut des Neurosciences de Montpellier (INSERM U1051) et le CHU Gui de Chauliac de Montpellier (service des troubles de la voix et de la déglutition). L?objectif de ces Journées interdisciplinaires sera de faire progresser les connaissances fondamentales relatives à la communication parlée, dans le but de mieux comprendre, évaluer, diagnostiquer et remédier aux troubles de la production et de la perception de la parole, du langage et de la voix chez les sujets pathologiques. Dans ce contexte, cette série de colloques internationaux représente une opportunité pour des professionnels, des chercheurs confirmés et des jeunes chercheurs de formations différentes de présenter des résultats expérimentaux nouveaux et d?échanger des idées de diverses perspectives. Ainsi, des données sur la production et la perception de la parole chez le sujet sain et chez le sujet pathologique peuvent être analysées de manière adéquate et des modèles peuvent être développés, de sorte que les mécanismes qui gouvernent la production et la perception de la parole puissent être mieux compris, et exploités efficacement, en particulier dans le cadre d?applications cliniques. Les propositions de communications porteront ainsi sur les études de la parole et de la voix pathologiques, chez l?adulte et chez l?enfant. Les thèmes des 6èmes Journées de Phonétique Clinique incluront donc, de façon non exhaustive, les problématiques suivantes : · Perturbations du système oro-pharyngo-laryngé
· Parole et perturbations des systèmes perceptifs, auditifs et visuels
· Troubles cognitifs et moteurs de la parole et du langage
· Modélisation de la parole et de la voix pathologiques

3-3-16 | (2015-07-01) CONSECUTIVITY AND SIMULTANEITY IN LINGUISTICS, LANGUAGES AND SPEECH, Strasbourg, France
CONSECUTIVITY AND SIMULTANEITY IN LINGUISTICS, LANGUAGES AND SPEECH
CONFERENCE ORGANISED BY THE RESEARCH UNIT 1339 LINGUISTIQUE, LANGUES, PAROLE (LILPA) UNIVERSITY OF STRASBOURG (UNISTRA) / STRASBOURG (FRANCE) AND THE FACULTY OF ARTS PAVOL JOZEF ŠAFÁRIK UNIVERSITY (UPJŠ) / KOŠICE (SLOVAKIA) 1st TO 3rd JULY 2015 STRASBOURG / FRANCE This international and interdisciplinary conference focuses on original and innovative work on the complex dynamic character of the consecutivity/simultaneity couple in the field of linguistics. It covers all disciplines of linguistics, as well as other related scientific areas (e.g. information sciences, computer sciences, medicine, etc.) preoccupied resolutely by linguistic issues. If the paradigm of consecutivity usually examines phenomena which succeed in time, in space and in a conceptual order, these consecution relationships can also denote dynamic interdependence between causality and simultaneity; the latter referring to phenomena which occur at the same time. In the field of semantics and syntax, some linguistic categories illustrate temporal properties (gerund, the past participle, etc.) and aspectual properties (accomplished, unaccomplished, durational, etc.) of consecutivity and/or simultaneity. Similarly, temporal markers such as and, then, etc., are characterised by their ability to alternatively denote these two properties. Finally, some syntactic constructions, including textual ones, induce through their own iconicity, spatiotemporal interpretation (incidence vs dependence, correlation vs causality, etc.). Regarding languages, interpretation, unlike translation, carried out either consecutively (with or without taking down notes) or simultaneously (in the cabin or outside the cabin – 'chuchotage'), relies mainly on reformulation strategy, this re-expression technique being more rapid and more salient in the context of simultaneous interpretation. As concerns texts, we shall consider the intricacies of relationships between diachronic and synchronic variations observable in manuscripts, and also syntactic twists or semantic constants. In didactics of first and foreign languages, it is useful to observe how opposing the simultaneous to the consecutive determines institutional didactic choices (e.g. notional vs action perspective), expert choices (direct vs deferred or face-to-face vs mediated teaching, etc.) and also pedagogical choices (spontaneous vs reformulated production, active vs imitative approach, etc.). In sociolinguistic investigations carried out by dialectologists, investigators are confronted with linguistic and meta-linguistic formulations of informants, formulations that these very informants may change, for various reasons and at different times of the investigation. It is the tension between consecutivity and simultaneity of productions of the same speaker which help to adequately approach the object of one’s study, and better understand language changes observed by researchers, together with the reasons for linguistic repositioning carried out by informants. In speech production and speech perception, we shall confront the (quasi)sequential representation of phonetic and phonological segments within a phonetic and phonological gestural analysis, in terms of coarticulation of segments, or even in terms of their co-production. We shall argue that co-production of articulatory gestures serves to optimise rapid and global perception of speech. Proposals should highlight, in one of the themes mentioned below: 1) Either the study of a given problem within the linguistic sciences, related to the analysis of consecutivity and simultaneity; 2) Either an issue allowing improvement or development of methods, tools and procedures for the analysis of consecutivity and simultaneity in a field of linguistics. In all cases, the perspective adopted by the conference will be met to and clarified. OFFICIAL LANGUAGES OF THE SYMPOSIUM: FRENCH AND ENGLISH THEMES OF THE CONFERENCE

3-3-26 | (2015-10-12) CfP 6th International Conference Information Systems and Economic Intelligence: special session: structuring multimedia streams (updated)
CALL FOR PAPERS SIIE ̓ 2015 6th edition of the International Conference Information Systems and Economic Intelligence February 12-14th., 2015 in Hammamet (Tunisia) (http://siie2015.loria.fr) Special session: structuring multimedia streams More and more documents and multimedia streams are available on the web. To exploit these extremely large and heterogeneous data, it is necessary to index or to annotate. This task cannot be done manually. We must therefore automatically segment, transcribe, classify, extract keywords and named entities, such as personal names, company names or place names. The results of these treatments provide a structured multimedia stream. These data will be very profitable for individuals, corporations and government agencies. This special session focuses on different methodologies for structuring multimedia streams. Important Dates: Paper submissions (extended deadline): December 1st, 2014 Notification to authors: December 20th, 2014 Final version for accepted papers: January 5th, 2015
Paper Formats (DOC, RTF or PDF):
– Long papers (for completed research): must not exceed 15 pages.
– Short papers (for R&D research and state of the art, for professionals): must not exceed 8 pages.
Languages of the conference: - Paper: all papers must be written in English - Data show: all video projection (PowerPoint) must be written in English - Presentation: oral presentations and discussions are permitted in English and/or in French.
– We invite you to submit your contributions from the site EasyChair Conference System: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=siie2015. Organizers of this special session: Irina Illina and Dominique Fohr (LORIA/INRIA, France)

3-3-27 | (2015-10-15) Young Researchers in Sciences of Language, Laboratory Praxiling, University of Montpellier, France Young Researchzers in Sciences of Language
Laboratory Praxiling, University of Montpellier, France
Call for papers: CJC2015 « Trace(s) » 15th-16th october 2015 http://www.praxiling.fr/colloque-jeunes-chercheurs-2015,370.html The aim of this 9th edition is to bring together researchers interested in the notion of the trace, from theoretical and methodological perspective in various disciplines. The term trace raises both by its multiple meanings and by its recurring presence in the scientific literature. While trace is a common term used in everyday language, the apparent straightforwardness of its meaning hides a number of complex questions in the literature about the contextualization of the term. These questions are all the more relevant in the digital age where the trace is playing an increasingly important role in IT environments (review Intellectica, No. 59). To begin with, an epistemological questioning calls for a multidisciplinary approach. In 2002, A. Serres drew up an inventory of possible meanings of the term trace (as a marker, as an clue) and discussed its presence in literature, linguistics and philosophy. His approach constitutes a solid basis for our thinking. Serres also reviewed intrinsic links between trace and memory (Ricoeur) and trace and writing (Derrida). Secondly, this notion of trace is omnipresent in the field of Linguistics and can be found at all levels of research (epistemological, pragmatic and praxeological). Therefore, it is worth revisiting, at a methodological level, the practices of identification, creation, exploitation and conservation of objects of research, considered as traces of this research : what about the positioning and choices of young researchers on data collection, analysis of corpus, archiving ? Phonetics and phonology: If we consider sound as a trace in the elastic medium represented by the air, it is worthwhile discussing the notion of the trace in relation to the acoustic signal. In fact, sound traces the acoustic signal thanks to the articulatory gestures. Those gestures can be altered by a communication disorder which will leave a number of traces in the speech. Finally, in the voice, other traces can be observed allowing one to identify the speaker’s gender or his/her emotions. Language acquisition, didactics and language learning: In the learning process, the target language acquisition is based on existing knowledge and skills that will be progressively transferred from the source language. Therefore, various traces of the first language can be found in the second language, reflecting different levels of the language: linguistics, pragmatics or sociocultural. Written communication: In the written communication, the participants are not in a situation of co-presence. Therefore, we can talk about a delayed communication that seems to be an interesting subject for discussion. Indeed, the written communication fits into the framework of elaboration and conservation of the traces. As this communication mode is not subject to the constraints that are tied up with the speech flow, it allows backtracking, corrections or erasing all of which may be studied by the researcher. Finally, the four basic operations of substitution (addition, removal, substitution and displacement) can also be detected thanks to their graphic traces. Digital communication: When considering interactions within the computing environment, it is impossible not to include traces which result from the usage of these devices. Indeed, every user or machine profile leaves a binary line (internet identity). This binary line constitutes a form of digital writing which contributes to a synchronous and an asynchronous communication. This raises several questions related to the trace: its acquisition, its development, its visualization, its archiving, its annotation, its suppression and its recovery. Language processing: Language processing is essential when it comes to make use of the trace, recover it, repair it or rebuild it. To intercept the trace, researchers create algorithmic models in the form of procedures using a software architecture that will run a program on one or more computers, on condition that those computers are connected together via social networks or internet. These models are developed with adjustable variables allowing to specify the task through the gathered trace. Therefore, we will be able to work with the trace: cut or label it, define its structure, evaluate its meaning, contextualize or generate it. Contributions from the following areas of linguistics will be considered with the utmost attention: Syntax, Morphology, Semantics, Pragmatics, Phonetics, Phonology, Neurolinguistics, Psycholinguistics, Language Acquisition, TAL, etc. Proposals combining theoretical reflections and naturally occurring data will be particularly appreciated. Submission: Submitted abstracts should be 800 words long (excluding references and tables). The deadline for our call for papers is March 31st 2015. Submissions must be made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?... Proposals will be reviewed anonymously by two members of the Scientific Committee. Notification of acceptance will be communicated in May.

3-3-28 | (2015-12-13) Calls for Challenge Task Proposals ASRU 2015, Scottsdale, Az, USA (updated)
IEEE Workshop on Automatic Speech Recognition and Understanding (ASRU) 2015
CALL FOR CHALLENGE TASKS
http://asru2015.org/CallForChallenges.asp
Submission deadline: December 31, 2014
ASRU 2015 welcomes proposals for challenge tasks. In a challenge task, participants compete or collaborate to accomplish a common or shared task. The results of the challenge will be presented at the ASRU workshop event in the form of papers reporting the achievements of the participants, individually and/or as a whole. We invite organizers to concretely propose such challenge tasks in the form of a 1-2 page proposal. The proposal should include a description of
* The task and its intended goal
* The task organizers and key contact people for the various aspects of the task
* The data or shared resource that is to be used
* Details on the availability or its collection process
* Required labeling or other pre-processing and the expected timeline of this process
* Privacy concerns around the data or resource as it will be released to all participants
* Licensing terms or conditions for participants
* the evaluation process, how will a test set be defined, what figure of merit will be used to measure success, and how will a common scoring process be put in place to arrive at comparable results for all participants
* the timeline; when will training/test material be made available, when are participant (sub-)system submissions due
* the expected (number of) participants, and whether this is a new installment of an existing challenge or a new challenge series altogether
* any special requests or circumstances, e.g., required timing or format of the challenge execution
Participants will report their achievements in the form of regular format paper submissions to the ASRU workshop. These submissions will undergo the normal ASRU review process, but the organizers can suggest reviewers that would be particularly insightful for the challenge subject matter. Accepted papers will be organized in a special session at the conference (in poster format; the only format used at ASRU). The accepted papers will appear in the ASRU proceedings. Given the possibly lengthy process of organizing and executing a special challenge, prospective organizers are encouraged to submit proposals as soon as possible. The ASRU technical program committee will make acceptance decisions based on a rolling schedule -- i.e., proposals are reviewed as soon as they come in. Challenge proposals should be sent to Technical Program co-chair Michiel Bacchiani at michiel@google.com, and will be accepted until the end of 2014.
