This workshop is dedicated to studies at the phonetics/phonology interface in any language, inspired by approaches to Romance.

Its goal is to highlight the contribution of research on the phonetics and phonology of Romance languages to the broader empirical and theoretical development of the field, extended typologically beyond the Romance family. In particular, presentations and discussions during the workshop should showcase the contributions of research on speech and sound structure in the Romance languages to the advancement of the laboratory phonology program.
