International conference Organised by Cognition, Langues, Langage, Ergonomie CNRS joint research unit and the Department of English studies, University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès with the support of Laboratoire Parole et Langage, University of Aix-Marseille; CREA, University of Paris Nanterre; CLILLAC-ARP, University of Paris. The 15th edition of the PAC international conference (Phonology of Contemporary English: usages, varieties, structure) is structured around three days of plenary sessions, thematic workshops as well as a poster session. Guest speakers Karen P. Corrigan, Newcastle University Manuel Jobert, Lyon 3 University Jose A. Mompean, University of Murcia areas of interest (i) interdisciplinary concerns in the description and modelling of spoken varieties in the contemporary English-speaking world; (ii) more specifically, the interplay of social, psychological and cultural factors in phonological and phonetic variation and change (both at the dialectal and sociolectal levels); (iii) the sociolinguistic investigation of new norms within spoken English, drawing upon the central notions of indexicality, self-perception and perception of speakers’ linguistic environments and communities; (iv) representations of native and non-native English-speaking communities and their relationship to traditional standard varieties. The notion of representation will be examined along three perspectives:
