General Information

The Phonetics and Phonology in Europe (PaPE) conference series is a forum that has the aim of exploring disciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to all areas of phonetics and phonology, with a special focus on Laboratory Phonology. This includes both theoretical and applied research, and in particular the relationship between the two. The series covers a wide variety of topics including tone and intonation, phonological theory, audiovisual prosody and gesture, language development, linguistic typology, language pathology, and language teaching. Methodologically, the conference also aims at bridging the gap between the fields of phonetics and phonology and fields such as psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, and computational linguistics.

The Cologne PaPE conference, scheduled for June 12-14 2017, complements this broad mission with a more specific scientific aim, namely to contribute towards a fundamental integration of the fields of phonetics and phonology, highlighting the intrinsic relationship between the two. Submissions in any area of phonetics and phonology are welcome with special consideration given to papers addressing the conference’s integrative goal.
