Proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Linguistic Research and Applications
Vol. 17Welcome to the Linguistics 2025 International Conference on Linguistic Research and Applications. This hybrid event enables in-person participation in Paris, thanks to the hospitality of Inalco, while also welcoming participants joining online from around the world.
As an international forum for linguists at all career stages, the Society is dedicated to advancing the study of language through rigorous research and its diverse applications. We encourage both early-career and established researchers to engage with current developments in linguistics and related disciplines.
The origins of this conference series date back to 2006 in Athens with the first Workshop on Experimental Linguistics (ExLing), organised under the auspices of ESCA (now ISCA). The workshop was subsequently hosted in cities such as Paris, Saint Petersburg, and Lisbon, and later developed into the annual ExLing Conference under the International Society of Experimental Linguistics.
In 2024, the ExLing Society was restructured as the International Linguistic Society, reflecting a broader vision of hosting multiple conference series throughout the year and providing ongoing opportunities for scholarly exchange.
This volume presents the proceedings of Linguistics 2025 Paris, covering core areas of linguistics alongside a range of applied and interdisciplinary perspectives.
We extend our sincere thanks to all Linguistics 2025 Paris participants, our keynote speakers—Ad Neeleman and Greville Corbett—and colleagues from the International Advisory Committee, the Review Committee, and the Organising Committee for their invaluable contributions to the success of the conference.

Proceedings of the 15th International Conference of Experimental Linguistics
Vol. 15This volume presents the proceedings of the 15th International Conference of Experimental Linguistics (ExLing 2024 Paris). The conference was held as a hybrid event at Université Paris Cité, bringing together researchers from around the world to discuss recent developments in experimental approaches to the study of language.
The ExLing conference series provides an international forum dedicated to advancing linguistic research through the development and application of experimental methods. It brings together both emerging and established scholars to exchange ideas and present new findings across a wide range of areas in experimental linguistics.
The ExLing conference series began in 2006 in Athens as an International Speech Communication Association (ISCA) ExLing Workshop. Since then, the conference has been hosted in several international locations, including Paris, Saint Petersburg, Heraklion, and Lisbon. Since 2019 it has been organised annually as the International Conference of Experimental Linguistics.
The ExLing 2024 Paris conference included three special sessions focusing on Experimental Phonetics, Language Education, and Language Pathology. In addition, the conference introduced the Language Application Exhibition, a new initiative showcasing technological applications of language research and encouraging interdisciplinary collaboration in the development of language technologies.
The editors would like to thank all authors and participants for their contributions to the conference. We also extend our appreciation to the keynote speakers Mirjam Ernestus, Valerie Shafer, and Jenny Thomson, as well as the members of the International Advisory Committee, the Review Committee, and the Organising Committee, whose efforts made the conference and this volume possible.
