The French Phonology Network (Réseau Français de Phonologie) launches a call for papers for its 2023 annual conference, the twentieth in its history. The 2023 edition will take place on 27-29 June in Lille (France). The conference is sponsored by the research laboratory Savoirs, Textes, Langage (STL – UMR 8163 CNRS/Université de Lille), and its organizing committee includes staff from the University of Lille and the University of Picardie Jules Verne.

Submissions anchored to any school or theoretical framework of phonology are welcome. Topics of interest may relate to phonology in general or for specific languages, along synchronic or diachronic dimensions. Topics may focus on, but are not limited to, signal processing, perception, acquisition, diachrony, dialectology, formalism, epistemology, descriptive phonology and all issues which explicitly deal with phonology and its interfaces.

A special plenary session will be reserved for ‘junior researchers’, defined as PhD students or post-doctoral researchers having defended their PhD less than 5 years ago.

Presentations will be given in French or English. When possible, we encourage people to speak in one of these languages, while providing a handout or slides in the other. Presentations will be scheduled for 30-minute time slots (20-25 minutes for presentation and 5-10 minutes for discussion).
