summaryThe PAC Project (http://www.projet-pac.net), ‘La Phonologie de l’Anglais Contemporain: usages, variétés et structure; The Phonology of Contemporary English: usage, varieties and structure’ is coordinated by Anne Przewozny, Philip Carr and Jacques Durand. Among other things it aims at: - giving a better picture of spoken English in its unity and diversity (geographical, social and stylistic), - testing phonological and phonetic models from a synchronic and diachronic point of view, making room for the systematic study of variation, - favouring communication between specialists in speech and in phonological theory, - providing data and analyses which will help improve the teaching of English as a foreign language. For the 2013 conference, we would particularly welcome proposals on the use of automatic tools for the study of very large data sets. One afternoon will be dedicated to a workshop on tools and annotation: Brigitte Bigi will present SPPAS, a tool to produce automatically phonetic annotations from a recorded speech sound and its orthographic transcription (aune.lpl.univ-aix.fr/~bigi/sppas), and Sophie Herment will do a demo on Momel and Intsint for prosodic annotation. We would also like to open perspectives on L2 research, with papers dealing with interphonologies and will organize a special session on this issue.
