3-1-4 | ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARS Now's the time of year that seminar programmes get fixed up.. please direct the attention of whoever organises your seminars to the ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARS scheme (introduction below). There is now a good choice of speakers: see https://www.isca-speech.org/iscaweb/index.php/distinguished-lecturers/online-seminars ISCA INTERNATIONAL VIRTUAL SEMINARSA seminar programme is an important part of the life of a research lab, especially for its research students, but it's difficult for scientists to travel to give talks at the moment. However, presentations may be given on line and, paradoxically, it is thus possible for labs to engage international speakers who they wouldn't normally be able to afford.
Speakers may pre-record their talks if they wish, but they don't have to. It is up to the host lab to contact speakers and make the arrangements. Talks can be state-of-the-art, or tutorials. If you make use of this scheme and arrange a seminar, please send brief details (lab, speaker, date) to education@isca-speech.org If you wish to join the scheme as a speaker, we need is a title, a short abstract, a 1 paragraph biopic and contact details. Please send them to education@isca-speech.org PS. The online seminar scheme is now up and running, with 7 speakers so far:
Jean-Luc Schwartz, Roger Moore, Martin Cooke, Sakriani Sakti, Thomas Hueber, John Hansen and Karen Livescu.

The online conference is the place to be to learn about most recent developments and achievements in European Language Technology, both from industry and research and including language-centric AI. From 15-17 November, Language Technology researchers and industry representatives are invited to learn all about ?Using the European Language Grid? and discussing the state of play in the European LT landscape. Search engines, voice assistants, translation services ? Language Technology is everywhere. That is, if used in English. Many other languages, especially those with few speakers, lack the technological support that could help preserving them in the digital world and promoting their use, which instead increases their risk for abandonment and digital extinction. The European Language Grid (ELG) aims to prevent exactly this by becoming the primary Language Technology platform for all European languages, big and small. However, supporting digital language equality is only one of the ELG?s goals.

PerceptiO Perception and the living La perception et le vivant University of Strasbourg, France UR 1339 LiLPa – Linguistics, Languages and Speech Research Unit Chair of the USIAS Language Sciences – University of Strasbourg, Institute for Advanced Study University of Haute-Alsace, France UR 4363 ILLE – Research Institute for European Languages and Literatures IdEx Symposium 2021 17-20 November The University of Strasbourg (France), through its Linguistics, Languages and Speech Research Unit 1339 LiLPa, as well as the USIAS Chair of Language Sciences (University of Strasbourg, Institute for Advanced Study), and the University of Haute-Alsace (France), through its Institute for Research in European Languages and Literatures Re- search Unit 4363 ILLE, will host in Alsace the symposium 'PerceptiO: Perception and the living' from the 17th to the 20th of November, 2021. Chaired by the Alsatian University duo, the international organising committee of the event will also include in its ranks (in alphabetical order of the partner countries): the Institute for Research in Language Sciences and Technologies – IRSTL of the University of Mons (Belgium), First People’s Hospital in Chengdu, First People’s Hospital in Zigong and Binzhou Medical University (China), the Modern & Classical Languages, Literatures & Cultures Department at the University of Kentucky (United States of America), Chair of French Language of the University of Opole (Poland), Assane Seck University of Ziguinchor (Senegal) and the Department of Romance Studies of Matej Bel University of Banská Bystrica, LICoLab – Language, Information and Communication Laboratory and Department of British and American Studies of the Faculty of Arts of Pavol Jozef Šafárik University in Košice (Slovakia).
The symposium, which will bring together specialists from all horizons (both in terms of continents and fields of specialisation), will be devoted to perception and the living, a theme that will have to be tackled under its various disci-plinary seams, whether they fall within the commonly accepted classification established since the 20th Century in the Sciences (formal, physical, life, social) or that of the Arts (architecture, sculpture, visual arts, music, literature, perform-ing arts, cinema). The general objective of the congress will thus entail addressing the question of how (the world of) the living caters for perceptions, both in terms of apprehension, feeling, understanding, analysis, construction, of profiling, of transmis-sion as of reception, to try to uncover the still quite vague outlines of the very notion of perception and related phenom-ena, in order to further the study of known properties and/or specificities or, moreover, to shed light on novel ones. More specifically, the major tack will notably involve, from the observation of how these properties or specificities fit into the living (world), means of highlighting the duality of the ontologies of perception (sensory vs intellectual). In practice, we shall question, starting from the living (world), in particular the matrices, the molds, the frames, the actants, the circumstances, the ins and outs of perception through, preferably, inter, trans, multi, pluri or intradisciplinary approaches – even if the mono or uni-disciplinary approach will not be excluded. Note that all types of languages, be they natural or artificial, can serve as empirical bases and that, regardless of the approach considered, experimental and/or clinical approaches will be highly appreciated, as well as contrastive ones. To this end, whether theoretical or applied, systematic or experimental, contextual or independent, synchronic or diachronic, prescriptive, descriptive or programmatic, intra or interdisciplinary, proposals thus requested will fit into at least one pair of disciplines from the Sciences and/or the Arts, such as: mathematics-linguistics, painting-music, biol-ogy-anthropology, medicine-linguistics, anthropology-music, physics-painting, sociology-linguistics, philosophy-mathematics, psychology-anthropology, computer science-linguistics, etc. Regarding the official classification of the High Council for the Evaluation of Research and Higher Education (HCERES) disciplinary fields, the symposium includes all disciplines: Mathematics, Physics, Earth and Universe Sci-ences, Chemistry, Engineering Sciences, Information and Communication Sciences and Technologies, Biology, Health, Agronomy, Ecology, Environment, Markets and Organisations, Standards, social institutions and behaviours, Space, environment and societies, Human spirit, language, education, Languages, Texts, Arts and cultures, Ancient and contemporary Worlds.

The links between articulation and prosody are a subject of growing interest. It is driven, among other things, by increasingly powerful measurement, analysis and recording techniques, by the discovery of syntagmatic and paradigmatic structures in prosody and the simultaneous undermining of strictly linear-segmental models in articulation, as well as the by rapid rise of speech technology and the associated increasing relevance of the emotions, speaking styles, attitudes, social hierarchies, social-role marking, etc. But, how far have we really come in understanding the links between articulation and prosody?
The 2nd International Seminar on the Foundations of Speech (SEFOS II) will be a forum to discuss these questions. Reflecting the development of the articulation-prosody research and continuing the successful concept of the first SEFOS, SEFOS II shall again be a strongly interdisciplinary event. We therefore cordially invite not only all members of the speech-science community to take part in SEFOS II, but also interested members from related fields such as general linguistics, medicine, audiology, psychology, rhetoric, pedagogy, language/speech technology and engineering sciences.
Due to the global COVID-19 pandemic, the organizing committee decided to conduct the conference in the form of a HYBRID CONFERENCE combining a live in person event with a virtual component.
