#LabPhon20 Satellite Workshop (#Montréal, #Canada)
Whistled Languages of the World: Phonetic, Phonological, and Neurocognitive Insights into an Alternative Speech Modality - June 29, 2026.
Date: Monday, 29 June 2026 (full day) (LabPhon20 satellite workshops take place on June 25 and June 29, 2026).
Location: Montréal, Québec, Canada (LabPhon20: June 26–28, 2026).
Workshop webpage (info & updates):
Description : Whistled languages offer a natural laboratory for studying how human speech can be acoustically reduced yet remain intelligible. This interdisciplinary workshop explores their phonetic, phonological, and neurocognitive dimensions across the world—from Greek Sfyria to Silbo Gomero and Tashlhiyt Berber. By integrating acoustic analysis, typology, and recent EEG and behavioral findings, the meeting investigates how left- and right-hemispheric processes cooperate in decoding melodic speech signals. Bringing together researchers in laboratory phonology, cognitive neuroscience, and music perception, this event aims to advance our understanding of how linguistic structure adapts to an alternative auditory modality.

Michela Russo (CNRS SFL / Université Paris 8 & Université Lyon)
Sophia Katsiouris (Université Paris 8; CNRS SFL)
Keynote speakers (2 × 1 hour)
• Rachid Ridouane (LLP, CNRS Paris, in collaboration with Julien Meyer, GIPSA-Lab, Grenoble)
Whistled speech in Tashlhiyt: Perspectives on phonetic and phonological structure
• Fanny Meunier (BCL, CNRS, Nice)
From Music to Speech: The Impact of Musical Training on the Perception of Whistled Speech
• Scope
Whistled languages constitute a remarkable natural experiment in speech reduction and adaptation. By transposing segmental and prosodic cues into a narrow-band acoustic signal (roughly 0.9–4 kHz), they reveal how linguistic structure can remain intelligible under extreme physical constraints. Found across diverse linguistic families (e.g., Greek sfyria, Spanish Silbo Gomero, Tashlhiyt Berber, Turkish Kuşköy, Mazatec Oaxaca), whistled systems provide an exceptional window into phonetic encoding, phonological abstraction, and hemispheric specialization / brain lateralization in speech processing
Building on recent advances in experimental phonetics and neuro-phonology, the workshop aims to bring together phonetic, phonological, and neurolinguistic perspectives on whistled languages, comparing tonal and non-tonal systems and exploring their implications for models of speech perception, hemispheric cooperation, and phonological representation.
We welcome submissions on (non-exhaustive list):
• Typology of whistled languages: Tonal vs non-tonal systems
• Acoustic/phonetic encoding (e.g., formant-to-harmonic mapping, segmental loci)
• Production, aerodynamics, and articulatory strategies in whistling
• Perceptual categorization, intelligibility, learning, and expertise effects
• Speech–music interface (including musical training advantages)
• Neurocognitive/neurolinguistic approaches (EEG/MEG/fMRI; hemispheric specialization)
• Documentation, endangerment, revitalization, corpora, tools, and field methods
Contributed talks: 30 minutes total (recommended: 20 min talk + 10 min discussion)
• The program will be balanced across phonetics, phonology, and cognitive/neuro approaches.
Panel discussion uniting phonologists, phoneticians, and neuroscientists on “How hemispheric specialization adapts to alternative speech codes.”

We're delighted to announce that #LabPhon20 will be held in Montréal, Québec, Canada, in the (North American) summer of 2026, with the theme “Looking back and looking forward.” Dates, thematic sessions, invited speakers, and more will be announced by the organizers. #LabPhon
The Association for #LabPhon welcomes bids to host #LabPhon20, in 2026. The 20th Conference on Laboratory Phonology will be a special occasion to mark almost 40 years since its inception in 1987. 🥳 Guidelines for preparing an institutional bid are here: https://t.co/cizr7GTKi4
