7th Workshop on the history of speech communication research (HSCR)

Paris, September 10-12, 2025

*Manuscript submission deadline*: May 15, 2025

We are pleased to announce the 7th Workshop on the history of speech communication research (HSCR), which will take place in Paris, France from 10th to 12th September 2025.

After the launch in 2015 in Dresden, followed by Helsinki (2017), Vienna (2019), Prague (2021), Porto (2022), and Budapest (2024), this 7th edition of the workshop will be organized by members of the Laboratoire de Phonétique et Phonologie (CNRS & Sorbonne Nouvelle) et CLESTHIA Laboratory (Sorbonne Nouvelle).

HSCR provides an interdisciplinary forum for researchers working on all aspects of the history of research on speech and speech communication. A special focus of this edition will be on geographical and disciplinary exchanges within and beyond the field of speech research. 

Advances in our field have, from its beginning, been stimulated by intensive exchanges within the community through international exchanges between scholars and students, the development of international societies, congresses and journals, but also through fruitful transfers of knowledge, approaches, technology and instrumentation between disciplines. 

Contributions on any such topic will be welcome, as well as on any topics related to the historical aspects of speech communication research.

Contributions must not be longer than 10 pages and follow the guidelines provided. The papers will be published in the book series Studientexte zur Sprachkommunikation at TUDpress (Technical University Dresden and also stored electronically in the ISCA archive.
