INTEGRATING SPEECH TECHNOLOGY IN LANGUAGE LEARNING - 15 SEPTEMBER 1999 -
BESANCON, FRANCE
The former CAPITAL group now renamed InSTIL is organising its second
consecutive annual event as a Pre-Conference Seminar at the forthcoming
EUROCALL 99 Conference in Besancon.
The first symposium attracted around 25 participants last year in Leuven and
was very well received.
http://www.tay.ac.uk/div_lang/capital/Symposium.htm
The second draws on this success with an IMPRESSIVE LIST OF SPEAKERS who
will cover the areas of Speech Recognition & Speech Synthesis in CALL,
Graphic Representation and Animation of Segmental and Supra-Segmental
Features, Integration in CALL authoring, etc...
This year, the event also features an internationally renowned figure in the
area of early linguistic/phonetic acquisition in the form of Prof. Gabrielle
Konopczynski from Besancon.
This is also a unique opportunity to sample a truly bilingual seminar
(English and French) which will be accompanied by free proceedings and the
addition of a summary of the memorable ESCA workshop on Speech Technology in
Language Learning held last year in Sweden (STiLL 98), all this for a
derisory FF250 if you register before 31 May 1999 or FF350 thereafter.
For details of the event, see the CAPITAL/InSTIL Web site on:
http://www.tay.ac.uk/div_lang/capital/Deuxième_Seminaire_InSTIL.html

CONFERENCE ON DISTINCTIVE FEATURE THEORY
October 7-9, 1999
Zentrum fuer Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft
Berlin, Germany
- C A L L F O R P A P E R S -
The theme of this conference is the role of distinctive features in
phonological theory. In addition to several invited speakers there
will be slots for 10-16 papers. Invited speakers who have agreed to
participate are:
Abigail C. Cohn

2. Autosegmental phonology (e.g. harmony and tone)
3. The relationship between phonological features and phonetic
representations
Papers will be 30 minutes, followed by 15 minutes discussion.
Deadline for submission of abstracts is July 16, 1999. There will be
no conference fees. Send four copies of a one page abstract (three
anonymous, one camera ready with name and affiliation) to:

Workshop on
T H E W O R D I N P H O N O L O G Y
at the 22nd Annual Meeting of the German Society of Linguistics
Marburg, Germany
March 1-3, 2000
- C A L L F O R P A P E R S -
The theme of the next meeting of the German Society of Linguistics
(DGfS) will be "The Word". The meeting consists of several
simultaneous workshops, including the workshop on "The Word in
Phonology" organized by Antony D. Green and Ursula Kleinhenz. In
general, speakers at the DGfS are expected to present a paper in only
one workshop. Unfortunately there will be no possibility to refund
speakers' travel expenses this year.
For some time the word has been one of the central issues of
phonology, and many important studies on the status of the word in
phonology have appeared. Nevertheless many questions remain open,
which this workshop aims to address. Submissions are invited that
deal with the status and typology of the word in phonology, in
particular:
1. the difference between the morphological word and the
phonological word
2. the relationship between the phonological word and the other
constituents of the prosodic hierarchy (phonological phrase,
foot, syllable)
3. the criteria that justify these constituents (e.g. stress,
syllabification, phonotactic well-formedness conditions)
4. which properties of phonological words are universal and which
are language-specific
5. effects traditionally attributed to lexical and postlexical
rules (e.g. resyllabification across word boundaries). An
important issue is how these data can be analyzed in a
constraint-based framework.
We have slots for fourteen 30-minute papers (20 min. + 10 min.
discussion) and three 60-minute papers (45 min. + 15 min. discussion).
Those interested are asked to send a one-page abstract, indicating the
author's name, affiliation, and postal and e-mail addresses, as well
as the intended length of the paper (30 min. or 60 min.), to Antony D.
Green or Ursula Kleinhenz at:
Zentrum fuer Allgemeine Sprachwissenschaft
Jaegerstr. 10/11
10117 Berlin
Germany
The deadline for submission is August 13, 1999.
Abstracts and talks may be in English or German.
Authors will be notified of acceptance by September 8, 1999.

SPEECH COMMUNICATION
CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Issue on SPEECH ANNOTATION AND CORPUS TOOLS
[www.ldc.upenn.edu/annotation/specom.html]
Guest editors: Steven Bird and Jonathan Harrington
Aims and Scope of Speech Communication (from the journal homepage)
Speech Communication is an interdisciplinary journal whose primary
objective is to fulfil the need for the rapid dissemination and
thorough discussion of basic and applied research results. In order to
establish frameworks to inter-relate results from the various areas of
the field, emphasis will be placed on viewpoints and topics of a
transdisciplinary nature. ... The journal's primary objectives are:
to present a forum for the advancement of human and human-machine
speech communication science; to stimulate cross-fertilization between
different fields of this domain; to contribute towards the rapid and
wide diffusion of scientifically sound contributions in this domain.
General information about Speech Communication, the official journal
of the European Speech Communication Association, can be found at
[www.elsevier.com/locate/specom].
Scope of the Special Issue
Submissions are invited for a special issue of Speech Communication on
Speech Annotation and Corpus Tools. The aim of the special issue is
to make speech scientists aware of recent developments in the
representation and management of annotated speech corpora,
i.e. collections of speech signal data with time-aligned
transcriptions. (Signal data may be audio or physiological, natural
or artificial, in basic or derived form.) The primary focus is the
structure of annotations and of annotated corpora, as used within and
across a wide range of disciplines concerned with spoken human
communication.
Annotated speech corpora have been a critical component of research in
the speech sciences for some years. Today, these corpora are being
created and deployed for a rapidly expanding set of languages,
disciplines and technologies. A wealth of formats and tools have
sprung up around this enterprise, a diversity which at once
facilitates and frustrates progress. The linguistic annotation page
[www.ldc.upenn.edu/annotation/] has drawn attention to the scale of
ongoing activity, to the existence of diverse approaches to similar
problems and of similar approaches to diverse problems. Despite the
explicit formats and well-documented user interfaces, insights about
the structure of the annotations themselves are often buried in coding
manuals and internal data structures. There is a pressing need for
papers which document the corpora and tools, which identify notational
and functional equivalences among different approaches, and which
report on new approaches to core representational problems.
The special issue will consider papers which address theoretical and
practical issues concerning the representation of annotations, the
structure of annotated corpora, and the design, analysis and
implementation of tools for creating, browsing, searching,
manipulating and transforming annotations and annotated corpora.
In each case, the description of annotation structures or
tools should be accessible to readers outside the particular community
in which the system originated.
A broad sampling of relevant issues is given below:
+ representational issues:
- sequence, overlap, hierarchy
- simultaneous cross-cutting hierarchies
- the nature of labels
- pointers and cross-references
- temporal structure, instants and periods
- atemporal information (e.g. demographic data)
+ relationships between annotations and signals:
- multiple independent annotations of a single signal
- single annotations which reference multiple signals
- annotations which reference other annotations
+ database issues:
- structuring annotations, signals and atemporal data into a corpus
- indexing for efficient access of large corpora
- high and low level query languages, cross-level query
- validation, update, provenance
- data transformation and integration
- file formats, storage, transfer; the place of XML
+ implementation issues:
- design philosophies and functionalities for annotation toolkits
- approaches to creation, browsing, navigation, display
- reusability, interoperability, platform independence
- integration with independent tools (e.g. statistical analysis)
- techniques for working with multiple corpus formats
+ wider issues:
- methodologies for research and development involving annotated corpora
- the cycle of refining annotations and refining theoretical models
- the role of annotated corpora in evaluating theories and systems
- necessary steps towards general purpose tools and formats
Important Dates
* 400 Word Abstracts: any time in May-July
* Advance Notification: Monday August 16th, 1999
* Submission Deadline: Monday August 30th, 1999
