Empirical research in phonetics often involves extensive datasets, ranging from spatial and physical information on articulation to acoustic parameters, perceptual and psychological listening data, and sociodemographic metadata. At the same time, phonetics also seeks to place its findings within a theoretical framework, thereby testing, refining, and advancing theories in both general and applied linguistics.

This workshop aims to provide a platform for exchange on phonetic research in general, with a particular focus on the challenges of empirical practice and theoretical approaches. It is open to students, early-career researchers, and experienced scholars from all fields and warmly invites submissions on ongoing or completed research in phonetics, as well as on theoretical and practical questions and challenges in the field.

Contributions may address any area of phonetics, including, for example:

• Theoretical aspects of phonetics

• Methods and methodology in articulatory, acoustic, and perceptual phonetics

• Variationist linguistics / sociophonetics

• Speech perception and phonesthetics

• Phonetics in language acquisition

• Phonetics in second-language acquisition and language teaching

• Speech synthesis / speech recognition / speech technology
