HISPhonCog 2026: Hanyang International Symposium on Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language 2026

Hanyang University, Seoul, South Korea, May 22-23, 2026

HIPCS (Hanyang Institute for Phonetics and Cognitive Sciences of Language) at Hanyang University, together with Departments of English Language and Literature and Chinese Language and Literature, holds its 5th annual international symposium on current issues on phonetics and cognitive sciences of language (HISPhonCog) 2026 on May 22-23, 2026.

Theme for HISPhonCog 2026

Speech Across the Lifespan: From Early Acquisition to Skilled Interaction

Over the past decades, research on speech has increasingly highlighted the importance of a lifespan perspective. Speech is not a static capacity acquired once in childhood but a continuously developing system shaped by motor growth, social interaction, and cognitive maturation. From the earliest stages of acquisition, children’s developing motor control, perceptual attunement, sensitivity to linguistic regularities, and prosodic patterning intertwine to establish the foundations of linguistic communicative competence. As individuals mature, these skills expand into more complex forms of interaction, supporting nuanced communication, pragmatic adaptation, and stylistic variation. At the same time, speech across the lifespan reveals vulnerabilities: atypical developmental pathways, age-related changes in motor or cognitive systems, the demands of second-language use, and neurocognitive conditions all offer windows into the mechanisms linking phonetics, phonology, and broader communicative functions. Prosody and fine phonetic detail emerge as central, linking speech production and perception with motor skill, linguistic structure, and social cognition. 

HISPhonCog 2026 invites contributions that address these interrelated perspectives, especially by providing some empirical (experimental) evidence. We particularly welcome studies examining the linguistic and cognitive functions of fine phonetic detail as they manifest in speech development, skilled interaction in adulthood, and variation across typical and atypical populations. Submissions from articulatory, perceptual, sociolinguistic, and neurocognitive approaches, in both native and non-native contexts, are encouraged.

A possible Special Issue to be published in a journal

• We are tentatively planning to compile a limited selection of papers, including invited talks, into a Special Issue in a peer-reviewed international journal. The issue will feature selected studies that best align with the conference theme, Speech Across the Lifespan: From Early Acquisition to Skilled Interaction.
• The target journals (to be determined): Journal of Phonetics, Linguistics Vanguard, Laboratory Phonology, Language and Speech etc.
• Please note that the special issue plan may be subject to cancellation if an adequate number of papers cannot be compiled or if journal selection does not succeed.
  
  

Support for international student participants (*free accommodation*)

• We are pleased to announce that we have secured funding to provide complimentary accommodations for up to three nights in a twin room (two single beds to share) for international student presenters affiliated with institutions abroad. Each room is intended to be shared by two presenters; however, if a co-author is traveling with the presenter and attending the conference in person, they may also be eligible to share the room with the presenter—pending prior approval.
  
  

Free registration for all (with a free banquet)

• We are very pleased to inform you that we will be able to make registration free as before.
• Free registration will include a free banquet, free munches for breakfast, free refreshments and two free lunches. 
• Pre-registration should be made by no later than April 1, 2026 to be guaranteed for possible accommodation support (for international student presenters) and free registration (for all foreign and domestic participants and audience).
• A pre-registration form that arrives a few days after April 1 may still be considered for free registration, depending on the budget and availability. Please contact us at hanyang.hipcs@gmail.com if you miss the deadline by a few days but still would like to register in advance.
