Created in 1972, the Laboratoire Parole et Langage (LPL) is a joint research unit affiliated to both the CNRS and Aix-Marseille University (AMU). Its members include phoneticians, linguists, computer scientists, psychologists, neuroscientists, physicists and medical practitioners. The LPL's activities focus on the mechanisms involved in the production, perception and understanding of spoken and written language in their natural contexts.The LPL's research uses an interdisciplinary approach that contributes to the development of strong synergies among the scientific disciplines represented within the laboratory: Experimental and field linguistics, including phonetics, psycholinguistics, neurolinguistics, automatic processing of language, sociolinguistics, didactics, and the study of speech and language disorders. LPL has been awarded over 70 national and international research grants and is a partner in two start-up companies (SQLab, voice analysis products; www.sqlab.fr).The LPL hosts the Centre for Speech Experimentation (CEP) which is a shared experimental platform for the collection and analysis of data for the study of speech production and perception (www.lpl-aix.fr/~cep/).The laboratory has developed close relations with seven teaching units of Aix-Marseille University: Language Sciences, French as a Foreign Language (FLE), Modern Literature, Cognitive Psychology, English-Speaking World, School for Speech and Language Therapy and School of Teaching and Education.In 2012, the LPL became one of the leading members of the Brain and Language Research Institute (www.blri.fr). The Labex BLRI is a consortium which comprises seven high level research units and an extraordinary network of experimental platforms. The LPL is in charge of the Speech & Language Data Repository (SLDR), a Trusted Data Repository recognized as a CLARIN-C Center since 2015 and part of the development of the national ORTOLANG platform (www.sldr.org ; www.ortolang.fr).
