Theme: Over the past decade, the use of corpora in the study of L2 phonetics-phonology has been slowly gaining ground, encompassing sociolinguistic and psycholinguistic perspectives on acquisitional issues. Most of the research work has been carried out on English, but other projects have started to study different languages, such as French. Beyond the use of corpora, the survey of both perception and production in the analysis of L2 phonology processing has been quite challenging and very few studies have managed to carry out both tasks simultaneously. This workshop aims at gathering researchers interested in L2 corpus phonology, who lend particular consideration to the perception-production loop, either in terms of longitudinal development or in terms of synchronic setting. The workshop will be essentially based on the research carried out in the IPFC project (InterPhonologie du Français Contemporain - French) and AESOP project (ASian English Speech cOrpus Project - English), but other projects and researchers are most welcome.
