Call for Papers,

Workshop on Laughter and Non-Verbal Vocalisations, Bielefeld,

15-16 June

the previous meetings held in Dublin (2012), Enschede
(2015), and Paris (2018), we have the pleasure to announce a
forthcoming workshop in Bielefeld.
Non-verbal vocalisations such as laughs, sighs, filled pauses, and
short utterances can communicate emotions and behavioural intentions.
Often, they also play an important role in regulating interactions.
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 in multimodal human-human and
human-machine interactions. The workshop will consist of invited
talks, oral, and poster presentations of ongoing research.
We invite contributions from all relevant fields, including phonetics,
linguistics, psychology, conversation analysis, social signal
processing, and human-machine/robot interaction.
