Organised by Laure Lansari, Florent Moncomble & Oc茅ane Foubert New modes of discourse have emerged over the last twenty years, linked to a number of technological innovations. These modes of discourse are sometimes referred to as 鈥榯echnodiscourses鈥�, which call into question the traditional dichotomy between written and oral communication.

Workshop Description: Expressivity is a category in natural languages that concerns the direct expression of emotions and attitudes (in contrast to their description). Expressive meaning can be conveyed at all linguistic level: by lexical expressions, special syntactic constructions, intonation or on the pragmatic level by expressive speech acts.

The thematic session of the conference aims to explore the contribution of fieldwork experimental phonetics to language documentation (Demolin 2002; Gibbon 2020), both with respect to under-researched languages and linguistic minorities, and in relation to the sociophonetic variability of these languages and the development of oral archives. Over time, the aims of fieldwork experimental phonetics have expanded in both thematic scope and methodological techniques. In addition to acoustic data,
