The Barcelona Congress, which is officially sponsored for the first time by
the International Phonetic Association, will provide an interdisciplinary
forum for the exchange of ideas and basic research in the phonetic sciences.
The congress will also address how phonetic theory, engineering and
linguistics can provide answers to real-world problems in speech processing
and transmission, voice identification, man-machine communication, speech
deficits, and language teaching.

ICPhS 2003 takes place, your registration will automatically give you a
