Warm regards, Taehong Cho Director, Hanyang Institute for Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language (HIPCS) LabPhon 19: The 19th Conference on Laboratory Phonology Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea, June 27-29, 2024 (Satellite workshops on June 26, 2024 https://labphon.org/labphon19/home (under construction) HIPCS (Hanyang Institute for Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language) at Hanyang University is proud to host LabPhon 19 on June 27-29, 2024. Theme: Where speech sounds meet the architecture of the grammar and beyond It has been over 30 years since the first Laboratory Phonology conference was launched in 1987 in the vanguard of exploring the linguistically meaningful relationship between the grammar and physics of speech. Since then, we have witnessed the gradual erosion of the severance between phonetics and phonology, accompanied by an increased awareness of the importance of scalar and gradient aspects of speech in understanding the linguistic sound system. We have also enjoyed seeing a wealth of investigation into the linguistic roles of fine phonetic detail, which provides insights into the phonetic underpinnings of other speech variation phenomena. It has now become the norm in the laboratory phonology tradition to view the phonetic encoding-decoding process as intricately intertwined not only with phonology but also with various other components (e.g., morphology, syntax and semantics) in the architecture of the grammar. Moreover, in parallel with the exploration of these relationships, laboratory studies of speech variation have also shown that phonetic and phonological forms can be shaped further by both information structure and pragmatic and social contexts. The fundamental assumption that underlies the proposed theme is that in order for the speaker to deliver a message (whether linguistic or extralinguistic) to the listener successfully, the speaker must be able to encode the message in phonetic forms that reflect other linguistic and extralinguistic structures. Then, the listener must in turn be able to exploit the resulting fine phonetic detail in decoding the intended message in reference to the higher-order structural information that underlies the speech signal. Consequently, the laboratory phonology community is now challenged with a fundamental question of how the fine phonetic detail and its systematic interaction with higher-order structures that may go even beyond the traditional realm of linguistics should be reflected in the architecture of the grammars of human linguistic systems. Delving into this inquiry inherently emphasizes that the foundational aspect of phonetic encoding and decoding within a linguistic message should be firmly rooted in the essence of prosodic structure—an abstract grammatical entity that governs the intonational system, phrasing, and prominence distribution, while also serving as a frame for articulation. The culmination of empirical findings across a wide range of subfields, including linguistics, psychology, and cognitive sciences, undoubtedly provides us with compelling evidence. This body of evidence accentuates the pivotal role prosodic structure plays in shaping the delicate intricacies of phonetics, spanning both segmental and suprasegmental dimensions. This intricate interplay, often referred to as the phonetics-prosody interface, extends beyond the confines of mere phonetics and phonology, intricately interwoven with a diverse array of linguistic and extralinguistic structures. At LabPhon 19, we aim to create an international scholarly venue at which researchers and students may tackle these issues by sharing novel findings and insights from their laboratory work and exchanging ideas in relation to the interplay between phonetics and higher-order linguistic and extralinguistic structures. The theme is admittedly too broad to be covered at one three-day conference, and LabPhon 19 simply starts off by narrowing it down to specific topics in five thematic sessions as outlined below. Our aspiration is that these anticipated intellectual engagements will converge to advance our understanding of the complex role played by 'the physics of speech' or gestures within the architectural framework of human communication grammar. It is also our hope that many of the works presented at LabPhon 19 will shed light on the significant contribution of prosodic structure, which plays a pivotal role in determining the phonetic outcomes across various levels of the communication system. We look forward to a diverse range of submissions that delve into these connections and contribute to a deeper understanding of the proposed theme. We also welcome submissions from neuro-cognitive perspectives that can offer insights related to the aforementioned issues addressed within the proposed theme. These perspectives are anticipated to provide valuable connections and viewpoints, enriching our exploration of the theme. In addition to thematic sessions, we will also commission non-thematic sessions which will include contributions to other topics of interest to the LabPhon community.
