We are pleased to announce that the next PaPE in 2021 will be held from Monday 21 to Wednesday 23 June 2021, virtually organized by the Universitat Pompeu Fabra and the Universitat de Barcelona,  Catalonia. It is the fourth Phonetics and Phonology in Europe conference, following successful conferences in Lecce, Italy (2019), Cologne, Germany (2017), and Cambridge, UK (2015). Prior to 2015, a series of biennial PaPI (Phonetics and Phonology in Iberia) conferences dates back to 2003. PaPE 2021 has the support of other research groups in Barcelona (UAB, UOC) working in the discipline of phonetics and phonology.  

PaPE 2021 aims at being an interdisciplinary forum for research and on all areas of phonetics and phonology, and promoting discussion on the sound properties of language approached from multiple perspectives: neurolinguistics, psycholinguistics, computational linguistics and speech technologies. This year, PaPE will be organised around the topic “Phonetics and Phonology: Real-world applications”. We particularly welcome contributions dealing with –but not limited to– acquisition and teaching research, multimodal communication, conversational avatars, and health and clinical research.

Looking forward to seeing you in PaPE!
