Topics from all areas of phonetic and speech sciences are equally welcome, while a specific topic is highlightened for this iteration of Speech research:
From evolution to innovation: Speech research through science, art, rehabilitation and technology
Speech and voice are complex phenomena that are extensively studied in biological, medical, phonetic, linguistic, and artistic research. How do various disorders affect the production and perception of speech and voice? What role does hearing play in speech and voice production? How do biological and social factors shape them? How does vocalization develop in mammals, and what are the specific characteristics of artistic speech and voice? These are just some of the questions explored in speech and voice research.
The role of technology in speech and voice analysis and recognition, the connection between emotions and psychological states with speech and voice, and the impact of social context on vocal characteristics further broaden our understanding of this field.
