Vol. 14: Proceedings of 14th International Conference of Experimental Linguistics

Welcome to the 14th International Conference of Experimental Linguistics (ExLing 2023 Athens). This year, our hybrid format enables both in-person participation at the University of Athens and virtual attendance, combining academic exchange with the experience of Athenian life and the Attica region.

As an international forum, the Society is dedicated to analysing language through experimental methods in linguistics, bringing together both emerging and established researchers to engage with current developments in the field.

ExLing began in 2006 in Athens as an ISCA ExLing Workshop and has since been hosted in cities including Paris, Saint Petersburg, Heraklion, and Lisbon, becoming an annual international conference since 2019. ExLing 2023 marks a return to Athens, the origin of the conference.

This volume presents the proceedings of ExLing 2023 Athens, including the main conference and three special sessions focusing on Experimental Phonetics, Language Education, and Language Pathology.

A new feature this year is the Language Application Exhibition, designed to bring together diverse language applications and promote interdisciplinary advances in language technologies.

We extend our thanks to all participants and to our keynote speakers—Edward Flemming, Gareth Gaskell, and Gaetanelle Gilquin—as well as the International Advisory Committee and the Review and Organising Committees for their contributions to the success of the conference.
