Vol. 15: Proceedings of the 15th International Conference of Experimental Linguistics

This 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.
